Good: Working from home.
Bad: Kids knocked over a jar of beets in back of fridge this morning while making breakfast, spilling fluorescent magenta juice over the majority of the contents and interior surfaces of the fridge.
Worse: I didn’t notice it for two hours.
THE WORST: I’m the only one here to clean it up.
I WANT CREDIT FOR ADULTING TODAY!
Adulthood is being at your kid’s school function, and having a coughing fit, and needing a drink really really badly, but choosing to give the last can of Sprite to a little girl who loudly tells her Mom she LOVES SPRITE SO MUCH. And then watching her take one sip and throw it away.
Little Miss Thing, age 6: “I want to be an adult.”
Me: “There’s no hurry, honey. Being an adult is not as much fun as it seems.”
LMT: “Yes it is! Adults get to drive and go on dates, and they make their kids do everything while they just sit and watch TV.”
Me: “You got me. Being an adult really is awesome.”
