My Underwear is on Inside Out

For moms with kids under the age of six, getting everyone up and out of the house by 7:30AM, or heaven forbid, earlier, can be tough, but it often provides a few laughs as well.

These are a few of my favorite moments, repeated often through the week, that make getting ready for work a laughable affair.

10. My daughter declaring, despite snowy conditions, that it is plenty warm enough for short sleeves, so that's what she's wearing.

9. No toilet paper in the downstairs bathroom, a fact I never realize until it's "too late".

8. Patterned black knee highs everywhere, and not a matched pair in the bunch.

7. A missed note from the teacher that my daughter is out of her "special" snacks as of today. Today meaning yesterday, of course.

6. Stepping barefoot onto tile floor during January in Ohio.

5. Not being able to remember anything about what I wore yesterday. How many times in one week is it acceptable to wear black slacks and a light blue sweater?

4. Where's the hairbrush? I just had it - where's the hairbrush?!

3. Morning workouts - surely six trips upstairs in 20 minutes because I keep forgetting things counts, right?

2. My son, taking his sit-down morning tinkle, while loudly declaring that he DOES NOT HAVE TO GO POTTY!

1. 11:00AM at work, and I've finally managed a bathroom break, only to find that, during the dark hours of the morning, when I left my bedroom light off while dressing because two children had again magically appeared in my bed, I put my underwear on inside out.

Tomorrow, we'll do it all again.
