The kind of mother who:
-eats bakery cookie ends from Little Buddy with his gnaw marks and slobber on them
-locks her son in the van when I hand a crying Little Buddy my keys for entertainment not realizing that he will start to press the buttons and lock himself in
-uses her son being (fictitiously) sick as an excuse to get out of undesirable appointments and such
-lets her son eat fries and raisins and crackers as a meal when we are out or with friends cause I'm too tired to argue and don't want to wreck a relaxed time
-force my child to hold hands always in any parking lot or street no excuses, no matter what, even if he is hanging from my tight grip and crying and cars are approaching
-lets her bestest Little Buddy stay up and watch a movie with her and eat brownies on the couch (gasp) together cause I just love him so much and don't want to be alone
-bust open a bag of Cheetos in the store and let my child pig out on them in the cart cause I have serious shopping to do and it's the only way to get it done peacefully
-cheer and jump to tears cause 'somebody' made pee pee on the potty
-put my almost 40 pound 2 year old on my shoulders (while I'm pregnant) at the 4th of July parade so he could 'see all the horsies' . . . . . . and tear up under my sunglasses cause I fear these days will pass way too fast (crying as I type this)
-endlessly play along with my 2-year-olds "seekin' game," even though I know where he is every time, just cause he loves it sooooo much
-lets the floors get really nasty cause the vacuum makes my child cry
So, what kind of mother are you? Or do you want to be some day?

You, my dear, are the bestest mother ever! Busting open food in the grocery store--yep, done that! I really try to keep it to packaged stuff and not "by weight" stuff just to stay honest! :D
"seeky"...I like that! If I take too long seeking Jacob yells out from where ever he is telling me where he's hiding! You know, because it was too hard for me to figure out. :D
Ooh, almost forgot, raid the change jug for enough money to buy macaroni and cheese when the cupboards are bare, then run to the grocery store and get some for my son cause he wants it really bad and we are waiting for payday to do more shopping ($$).
Been there, done that, and you can thank pregnancy hormones for all the tears!
I've actually left my sleeping son in the car while at Wal-mart once (it was a coldish day so I kinda covered him up with a blanket), which I've been told is illegal in most states.
I could go on and on, but I don't want to provide too much evidence on my incompetencies!
I'm the same kind of Mom, a little grayer and more well rested, but the same Mom only with better weather.
I thought of you when I wrote my current post and your whacko neighbors. Grrr, helped me keep perspective, so thanks for that.
Lovely post! You're the best kind of mother!
