That's just gross.

It may be gross but he smelled deoderized and fresh at school that day!

I mentioned this on another thread but it fits here, too...

I couldn't remember when my youngest had taken a showerand before he left for school I have to admit that...I...ummm...that...I FEBREEZED MY SON!!!!

LOL!

When my daughter was 5 I picked her up from school and asked her what she wanted for dinner. She replied, I think I'l have KETCHUP tonight!

I looked at her teacher and said "we had mustard last night"!

I laughed so hard because just yesterday I did this to my son after he got home from school. We were going shopping and at school that day he ripped a hole in his pants on his last clean pair of pants. So he put the pants on from the day before. He was walking past me as I was frebreeze the house and I just told him to stop so I could spray his pants. DH just shook his head and walked away.

Last year we had dinner at Crystal Palace one night. My daughter ate butter. Seriously. That's all. Butter. She'll tell you if you ask her what she ate when we saw Winnie the Pooh.

A bunch of Mom's after my own heart!

I've actually bought socks from littlemismatched because I got tired of matching the socks, so now we just coordinate! My DS (3) asks for pajama days & I say yes, heck my DDs 8&6 will ask on the weekends and we will spend the entire day in our pj's for no reason other than it sounded good. As for dinner, I'm so tired of cooking while DH is out of town that I think they had mac & cheese four days in a row last month! And I'm certain there is nothing healthy in that orange sauce.

Thanks for the laughs.

For all you Mom's of tween or teenage boys...Axe body spray is just body febreeze! Seriously...by the time my 11 yo is done slathering on Axe...he needs a little febreeze to dull it down!

Holy Cow! I have a headache everytime my son leaves the house!

I feel so bad for his bus driver. I wonder if she wears a gas mask!

Glad I'm not alone

My DH travels 4-5 days a week and I work full-time so I have many imperfect moments.

When my kids beg me for cereal for dinner there are times I say "why not?". It's not going to kill them! I had it when I was a kid and lived!! In fact every once in a while we do dinner for breakfast (french toast, bacon, eggs, hash browns, etc.), so why not just do a scaled down version of just cereal.

I work at home a few days a week and have let them watch the same movie 2 times in one day when my babysitter couldn't watch them but I HAD to get work done and meet a deadline. I'm sure they will survive that too.

SO glad to know I am not the only mom who will stay in pj's all day with the kids. And we have mac and cheese twice a week, every week.

OK, raise your hands if you have ever dug something out of the unwashed laundry basket for the purpose of someone wearing it again? The reason doesn't matter, and you don't have to give one.

I cannot tell a lie. We have all worn dirty clothes in my family at one time or another.

Now thats great problem solving. I never would have thought of that!

My son wants to know why I can't stop laughing.

Let me add that it worked really well, too!!!

Yeah! I'm not alone!Maybe they should market it like that! Makes your house AND your tween son smell fresh all day!

DH and I consider this "recycling" - and we have no kids yet to keep us

My older dd used to eat nothing but pico de gallo at this one Mexican restaurant we used to go to. We stopped ordering food for her and just scooped some pico de gallo off the salsa bar and that was her meal. This is the same one that now eats chips and salsa for breakfast. See? As they get older, their tastes expand.

I used to let mine eat chips and queso for dinner all the time. It was the only thing one of mine would eat at Mexican restaurants for the longest time. I also used to let her eat french fries and a chocolate milk shake for lunch. I remember getting some looks for that. Oh well they have survived so far. Slacker Mom's sign me up!

Being a slacker occasionally is good I think. I'm usually very type A. But today my morning sickness was really getting to me and I slept terribly. So while I usually spend lots of time playing games, reading, teaching DD 14 months, today we spent most of the day on our porch while she played on her own and I read a book. She seemed to enjoy it and I got the break I needed to be back on my game tomorrow.

It's all about perspective.

Jeans are more comfortable when worn more than once.

If you name the dust bunnies, they're pets.

Bagels with cream cheese have protein, calcium and carbs...throw a squeeze pack of apple sauce in there and it's a balanced dinner.

Nickelodeon tells me at the beginning of each show what it teaches, so it doesn't count as TV...it's more like school at home.

I can't read this thread (even though it is devoted to slacker moms) without thinking of the Bill Cosby "Fatherhood" special and the part where he talks about making a cake for breakfast because it has milk and eggs in it, so it must be healthy.

Dad is great! Give us the chocolate cake!
