week in review

Start out week with intentions of getting out of the house everyday, keeping up with chores and not losing your temper: check

Promise yourself that you won’t complain about the hideous, stupid, endless snow only to do so daily: check

Give up all good intentions by noon on Monday: check

Ignore laundry until it reaches out and begs to be washed: check

Have neighbours drop in for a visit when house looks as though it was ransacked by robbers: check

Actually respond when your son calls you by the dogs name because you didn’t even notice until your husband laughed out loud: check

Traumatize oldest child when he overhears you announce to your husband that you are moving out: check

Wonder why on earth oldest is bawling in his room only to discover he really thought you were moving out: check

Take kids to park because you are a SUPER! FUN! Mom only to have your daughter take out your 18 month old next door neighbour: check

Make kids leave park and have to listen to all three of them scream the entire way home: check

Make a public spectacle of yourself (see above): check

Discover that your daughter who has insisted she is allergic to peanuts since she could speak and you just thought she was being dramatic is in fact quite allergic to both peanuts and tree nuts: check*

Feel like a complete asshat and hang your head in shame: check

Make husband mad and almost get into an argument because you keep saying “I feel so bad” over and over: check

Rejoice that it is the weekend and resolve to try again next week: check

*more on this later
