Oh gosh. Hello? Parenting. Since I really can't put into words how difficult it is, I decided to create this little graph to help you visualize our experience. Please start at the bottom where it, rather subtly, says, "Start Here!"
Note: The references to mother and mother-in-law are strictly for humor effect. This graph was in no way influenced by my own mother and mothers-in-law (yes, that's plural).
Girl! Yes, I'm totally stalking you but that's what happens when you put up three posts so close together!
ReplyDeleteSeriously where do you come UP with this stuff??? You need to move to Hollywood right now and start applying for jobs to write for a sitcom. This is much better than any of the other stuff (crap) they put out and call a show!
Anyway...thanks so much for giving me three huge laughs in the middle of my day. :) Blessings!
LOL that's awesome! Although I think the organic chemistry thing might be up there with the whole Everest thing, but it's hard to say...You make a honey badger (whatever that is!) sounds so endearing (and snuggly).
ReplyDeleteJust go to You tube and search honey badger, then watch that video (foul language warning...but funny). Those stinking things attack cobras!
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOLOL! You crack me up! And thank you for the huge(!) compliment!
ReplyDeleteThey also emit a big stink like a skunk.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to put your comment in my "I feel like my writing sucks" file, so when I feel that way, I can pull it out and feel good again.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's what I'm going to do with yours! ;)
ReplyDeletei needed a good laugh today. i am currently snuggling a honey badger. happy 6 month gotcha to you too. i think my arms are actually longer from all this hanging in there, are yours?
ReplyDeleteblessings,
veronica
I think I woke up with a honey badger in my bed this morning.
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't mean Steve. Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI love the chart Kate! Very funny!
ReplyDeletep.s. I am seriously considering making a chart for myself that shows the parenting of three teenage boys and three littles! There might not be enough screen space on my jumbo iMac tho! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, there's more to look forward to??? There's not much worse than snuggling with a honey badger. I don't know how you do it. I guess just plain clinging to Jesus. Not much else we can do.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it more like snuggling with a honey badger WHILE climbing Mt. Everest. But you're right, Jesus is key! Wouldn't trade this job for anything. Still, charts like yours are great validation. ;-)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I think that the MIL thingy could totally be harder than the nakedness...
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up on the FIRST EVER Super Sunday Sync!

Your chart is cute. Raising a deaf kid has been challenging, but humor has helped. Come to think of it, it got me through many moments with raising the hearing kid, as well.
