It became a sanity saver, I knew it was getting out of hand when I couldn't let my kids leave for the bus until I was done making their lunches. I like the take it or leave it idea when it comes to hot lunch--it helps them to appreciate what I cook and serve them at home! It makes me look good! :) I tried the no make-up thing a few times, but gave up when people asked me if I was sick or just woke up or something--so I gave up on that. Maybe by the time I am 50 I won't care what people think. Seriously, I'd probably take a shower and put on make-up if I needed to run to the emergency room. I assume 10 minutes won't going to kill me, being that usually you just sit there forever and wait before you're seen--and I'm still alive. ;)Stephanie Eldredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189471555578047071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-62234801838249919372011-05-08T16:32:54.869-07:002011-05-08T16:32:54.869-07:00I have been too lazy to comment til now.

So when I was in target tonight 9pm-normal time to have your kid out right? I checked out the training toilets, man are they expensive! $30 for something I have to clean my kids pee and poop out of, wow! I was totally overwhelmed with the choices and walked out with nothing. My husband wants me to buy the kind you just attach to the real toilet, I being the lazy mom I am want the whole mini toilet, so I can plop him in front of the tv until he figures out how to go. Wow I sound awful!<br /><br />I could go on...I used to be good at least at doing my sons laundry often enough, this morning as i slept in(I pretended today was mothers day because my husband has to go to work on Sunday at 6am so no sleeping in for me, so i insisted I got to sleep in today and he made me breakfast-today!) <br />Anyways as he was getting Jack dressed I heard him say, "Sorry Buddy, it looks like you are wearing the same dirty socks from yesterday!" Today at target I bought my socks-problem solved-my laundry still needs to be done! I guess I'll get started now...,thanks for you blog I got to be lazy even longer!Jack's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629673389745159564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-87485490497086848222011-05-05T09:39:54.894-07:002011-05-05T09:39:54.894-07:00you just described my life!you just described my life!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927996257356316555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-5055368532827976182011-05-05T00:41:52.499-07:002011-05-05T00:41:52.499-07:00I'll stick with the term lazy.

I'm like $75 in the red with the library, and I still can't get my lazy A over to return the 3 missing books.<br /><br />I wear a uni, no makeup, and smell like chlorine. I'm no prize. I can't wait until B is old enough to do crap to make my life easier....like biking to Mcd's to grab Mamma a cheeseburger. After I finish de-fatting, of course.<br /><br />Elizabeth--I have wanted to get in touch with you forever!

I seem to do all my blogging and facebooking about things I do, and people think I do sooooo much and could never, ever think of me as lazy. But man. Am I ever lazy. Not only do I do hot lunches, my kids get school breakfast, too. And my "consequences" of choice for misbehaving children are usually extra chores. (Score! Somebody was fightning, now I don't have to vacuum!) I never wear makeup unless I have some social thing to do (well, I wear makeup to church, but not much) and I'm a ponytail girl most days. Of course, my husband is in Iraq so I have a lot less motivation. But anyway, I love being lazy. However, I do take a break from laziness on occasion to accomplish something. hee heeSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375724745468014264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-63773615565431107232011-05-04T20:37:40.771-07:002011-05-04T20:37:40.771-07:00Just reading about the "big dog rub off"...Just reading about the "big dog rub off" gives me the creeps.
