"" The Exhausted Mom: Really? Really?

August 13, 2011

Really? Really?

So I went to the Dunkin' Donuts Back to School event this week.  It was my first blogging event ever...I was so excited.


I already gave you a run-down on all of the fantastic treats that we got, but I didn't mention the real "treat" that everyone else got...


A glimpse into why I'm so exhausted....

Before leaving the house:


Me: "Boys, we're going to Dunkin' Donuts."
Boys:  "Yay!"
Me:  "We're going because Mommy needs to meet with some people that work on the computer."
6 year old:  "You're going to make new friends?"
Me:  "Yes.  But you have to promise me that you will be good.  If you promise, then I will get you donuts."
Boys:  "We promise!"


Little did I know, I should have looked for crossed fingers....


All went well when the first testers of donuts and Coolattas went around.  Then I started talking to the other bloggers and all went down hill!


I have no idea what happened, I just know that I look up and my 6 year old is hitting his brother!  The little one is crying and I step in and pull my oldest to the bathroom (as he screams that I am hurting him) only to find it locked.  So I pulled him to a corner to talk with him.  He then walked back over and put his head down.  All the while my more dramatic 4 year old was wailing about how he hurts.


HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!


I guess I should buy stock in Calgon so it can take me FAR away!!

  5. I'm sure once my 2 month old gets older I'll be in the same boat. But don't worry about it all mom's must feel this way at some time.

  6. As the mom of 4 boys (and 2 girls) ages 6 to 20, it really just never stops. Even my 20 year old and my 17 year old still want to beat on each other. Thankfully, generally not in public lol!!!

    I wish for Calgon to take me away on a daily basis. So far, no luck!

    Following you now from the Wild Weekend Blog Hop =)
