fun Momma


I really wish I could find the mom
I used to be.
I don't know where she went 
or quite when I lost her.
3 or 4 kids ago, probably...

Once upon a time,
I was fun.
Never as fun as Dad, mind you, but still fun.
Today,
all the fun I could muster 
was
"Hey, Guys! Let's go buy a new heater!"
Should we go to Yeagers?
Or Wal-mart?"
What's sad
is
 for a brief moment
I really thought it might be fun.

We decided on Wal-mart
so we could buy some snacks, too.
About 30 seconds after buckling the girls
into one of those impossible to push gigantic carts
I changed my mind about our fun adventure.

note to self:
It has never been
nor will it likely ever be
fun
to go to Walmart
with your 4 youngest children.

What might be fun, though
is eating Doritos with guacamole for dinner
and those color changing Jolly Rancher popsicles we bought
for dessert.

  4. You haven't lost your sense of humor. Given the size of the gang you tend to, that's a good thing:-). My children are on their own now, but I still love to read about the family circus so I'll be back from time to time. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
