Comedic Mom

Just One of those Days

To begin this story I would like you to know, that I am sadly not a clean and organized person. But I would like to be, it’s just a very difficult process to do.

I didn’t start out the day thinking I would reorganize my entire living room it just worked out that way. Not that I am complaining, it’s just funny how things work out.

It all started when I was getting tired of getting beat by my sister Jane at Mario Kart. You see I know she might not be staying long, so I was wanting to have as much fun as I could while I can. I am proud to admit it but I am a sour loser. Besides I am sure that many of you are bugged when your siblings get all cocky, when they win a few rounds. It’s not like they were being good winners. So before I said or did anything that would make me look bad. I turned off the Switch.

As a result of that I had a lot of pent up energy. Plus the way it is organized has always bugged me. I am sure many can relate to that.

So I started to clean some shelf’s so that my son, Leo. Could have some play shelf’s in the living room. Which my husband then chimes in. I was going to do that. If I could remove that sentence from my husbands vocabulary. If he has actually done a task before I did it myself then the house would never be dirty!

I didn’t get much done before I ended up making dinner. So therefore I didn’t ended up getting much done. I can only blame that on myself though. Being lazy was fun while it lasted!

Sad realization that I have to be a responsible adult.

This made me think is that my parents didn’t teach me the art of organization. And the key that it plays in cleanliness. They taught me how to clean and do chores for sure but not organizing. At least I can learn from them. Anyone have any great tips and how to quickly organize. As well as before and after pics let me know

The Choice and the consequences?!

So after my sister and I had a very long talk we decided that she would go back and take care of what she needed to take care of. Apparently she left behind a lot of stuff when I called her out here to help me. How was I supposed to know that?! So she would come back to me in about six months.

My husbands reaction to all this was not as I thought it would be. He thought it would be a bad idea because we would no longer have the help to take care of Leo (our son). But I plan to only have a part time job, and only on days when he is not working but we will see how that goes. But I am not doing this for him, I’m doing that for Jill (my sister) and Leo. Also myself because I really would like to have an awesome job instead of one just to have one.

When I told my dad was a better but more life advice which I thought was better. Sense she is only getting stuff which is the cause of her leaving us. He thinks that six months is way too long. Not only was his advice to get her to minimize the time she is gone. Also have incentive to make her come back.

So the incentive for her to make sure to come back is I don’t have to see mom. (She is the only one who likes mom therefore she fights for her). So for me it’s about helping her. To hopefully be a good influence for her.

Don’t be Indecisive

As a result of my sister living with me I really would like to help her. I am married and have started a family, and I would like to be able to help her do the same.

But she is having trouble deciding whether she would rather live with me, or our mother. If she decides to be with our mom she would not have to pay anything. And she could live however she needs. However if she lives with my husband and I she would have to help out. As well as eventually get used to his unique personality.

I think I would be able to help her out as well as it may be a good opportunity for her. But ultimately it is her decision to live with. And she has almost been with my mom for two years with no progress.

She has been here for almost a month and she has yet to make a decision on what she would like to do. Anyone know what the next step to be to help people be more decisive?

Dear Future Mom

I recently saw something that I want to do as a mom. I saw this amazing little video that completely changed my perspective as a mom.

The video showed this girl explained how her parents specifically her dad constantly asked if she failed. I think that’s amazing! By discouraging her to fail he was encouraging her to try.

Most of us forget that effort is something that is really important. And I as a parent realize that I wish I was taught this way. Never stop trying!

I was able to find the YouTube video that I got this from if you get a chance to watch it click here

Getting Organized Step 1

Just starting

I am not that organized. I’ll admit I have struggled with that. But not anymore I have looked and I have found a way that may work for those whose also struggle.

Step 1: I am reorganizing the entire kitchen. Which is the area that I struggle with the most. I am reorganize each area with a task such as cleaning, prep, cooking.

Then finally I end every day with a clean kitchen. We will see if my beginner techniques work! 😄
