momish

Those looking momish (pronounced /ˈmɑːmɪʃ/) are members of exclusive group of mothers, best known for boring hair cuts, plain clothes, and looking much older than their years due to the job of raising children. (The word "momish" is a term used by mothers; the non-mothers would refer to them as the "plain folk"). Variations of looking momish have been spotted for decades, the most popular being when dressed in the mom jean. (see above small) Similar varieties include the three quarter sleeve top, tie waist top, and maternity-style top when not pregnant (see ridiculous example at left). Remedies for feeling momish include indulging hair cuts and styles by a trained woman who understands, retail therapy to include something a going-on-thirty-two-mother-of-two wouldn't normally wear, and wearing of said clothing on evening out with no children and lasting past 10:00pm.

Off to a good start

Post #1! Ang will be so proud. I may take this in a kid direction, but for now, this is for me. I am trying very hard this year to be sane and hope this will help. :) Planning day at school today was a blessing for me to get started off with organizing at work. I dismissed concern for working for others (or shall I say, guilt about what I thought I SHOULD be doing) and got myself together. I am trying hard to think ahead of how to best use my time at home, but starting this might not be helpful in that area. We'll see. I've made that phone calls I need to for scheduling appts, another plus (oops - just remembered one more for Gracie...).

I am looking forward to VEGAS (1 week and 2 days till leaving) and will need to be on my game to get there without going crazy. From Sunday till we leave on Thursday, I will need to -
see Papa after he arrives from Buffalo
pack and deliver (hopefully) kid bags
take care of kids without Andrew from Monday on
pack myself for travel
WORK! and arrive at a respectable time each day

Wish me luck!
