Ten Summer Mom Truths

summertruthsSummer’s here and it has me thinking–there are some unique problems that come along with the heat and humidity!

Anyone else ever experience these?

  1. If you park in a remote space to blast the AC and nurse, change a diaper or give yourself extra room to get your kid in and out, someone will park right next to you for no good reason.
  2. The time you wear pajamas to make an ice cream run is the time you will run into someone you know. The worse you look, the more important the person will be.
  3. During the summer, it’s quite acceptable to hose your kid outside off in lieu of a bath.
  4. The absolute worst part of the pool and playground is making small talk. You know I’m right.
  5. Most mom sunburns occur because we’re so preoccupied with slathering our kids that we forget ourselves. But hey – at least your hands were sunscreened!
  6. All diet bets are off when the ice cream truck appears.
  7. You will go to the grocery store for milk and come back with pool toys, a watermelon and popsicles. But no milk.
  8. If your kid finally falls asleep at naptime, your neighbors will need to mow their lawn at that very moment.
  9. Where. Does. The. Sand. Keep. Coming. From.
  10. Cooking anywhere else besides the grill should be illegal June-August. Clean kitchen for the win!
