Rushing Crash

Simplay mom was simply stupid today rushing around I backed up into a fence and really messed up the back of the family car light cover cracked and on the floor, bumper cracked thank god the kids were not in the car.  How fast was I backing up I still cant recall but I'm so mad I want to scream and then to hear my husband about how I'm not careful and don't pay attention and a hundred other comments/questions that in hind sight make a lot of sense.  The truth is I was rushing yes I was careless and rushing what else is new with kids we are always rushing.  We rush to and from school/daycare, we rush to and from actives cheer, swim, dance, gymnastics, baseball etc.. then we rush to and from birthday parties and families events.  My head is spinning right now rush rush rush and in between we have to eat, sleep, bathe and love.  Do we miss out on some of the love and snuggles because we are always in a rush?  I think we do, I see so many of us parents running our kids to all type of actives and classes is it really needed can one just be enough?  What happened to just playing outside are we all brain washed to fund the big business of kids zones.  Ponder this with me.

Potty Training

Okay potty training number two why does it seem so much harder?  Is it that he's a boy or have  I just run out of patience and energy with two other kids around?  My oldest daughter was fully potty trained two weeks before her second birthday even at night, she was so great.  I have been putting this off for days and weeks but now hes two and the clock is ticking.  He understands what the potty is and what he should be doing in it he just really has no interest in doing it. Simplay mom is simply pooped about the potty................ Tonight he pooped on the floor and my oldest call "Mommy Mommy Joey just pooped on the floor it looks like a man with a green hat"  I had to laugh before I cried this is no simple task.  Guess what I found a potty training class

This morning I was reminded of why I love my husband, he got my son 2 years old and daughter 6 months dressed, that gave mommy 15 whole minutes to get ready in peace, this is starting off as a good day. Our 6 year old can pretty much get herself ready which is great during the morning rush. He even got my English muffin and coffee ready today wow, I hope I remebered to say thank you, the kids were happy and that makes the whole house happy. Its all about the small stuff the little kisses in passing and the little sounds our baby makes that remind me how fortunate we are. Yes I would love a lot of money, a nanny and a great big house but can that really bring true happiness? Simplay mom is off to work for the corperate grind, kids are safe in school and my hubbby is off fighting crime....

Simplay Mom that's me with all the things I have done and do everyday I am most of all a mom and to my kids and husband I am simply a mom. A mom that makes sure everything and everyone is taken care of before herself as most mom's do. As simple as being "Simplay Mom" is, its the best thing I could have been, although I do sometimes wonder if I have lost myself in this world of Simplay Mom or if I have really found myself. This blog is my journey through my experience as a mom, career executive, wife, ex-wife and women, all of it the good the bad and the ugly.
