The perfect housewife
manages her house in a way that is organized, while managing to keep things
homely and decorated. I skipped the organized part. Who cares that I have a
toddler who simply loves to pull things off shelves and out of drawers. I lined
things up in a decorative manner on the bottom of every shelf and filled each
cabinet with important papers. I am certainly paying for it now. Every single
day I pick up the same things. I feel like every parent deals with the “never-ending
mess” but I got an extra butt-kick for stupidity. In fact, to top that off, my
toddler has recently discovered the fridge.
Funny story.
Like any EXTREMELY ON TOP
OF THINGS mother, we had the lights dimmed in the living room, the baby was
asleep and my daughter and I were winding down watching Elmo. So… mommy zonked
out. I am sure the moment my daughter realized this she jumped up from her
carpet mat did a victory dance and ran to the kitchen because 7 minutes later I
was awoken to the cracking of eggs into a steamer pan on our living room
carpet. Yes, that’s right, steamer pan…. there were holes in the bottom. Immediate
reaction, I wanted to jump through the roof. So I calmly got up and walked over
to this disaster. My daughter is not yet two and extremely smart. As I approached
this mess I realized every single egg had been cracked out of its shell, shell
thrown in the trash and she was mixing it together with a wooden spoon.
SEREDIPITY- I am now putting every spare dime
into a ‘culinary fund’ because obviously my daughter is going to be the next ‘CAKE
BOSS’.
