Soundbites From the Edge

Wikipedia: Soundbite: Characterized by a short phrase or sentence that deftly captures the essence of what the speaker is trying to say. Such key moments in dialogue (or monologue) stand out better in the audience's memory and thus become the "taste" that best represents the entire "meal" of the larger message or conversation. Sound bites are a natural consequence of people placing ever greater emphasis on summarizing ever-increasing amounts of information in their lives. Welcome.

Mom, you won't have to worry about them being under-dressed anymore...

STOP!
Please look at the children and ask youself the following
4 questions

1. You typically have less than 1/4 tank in the minivan. Are they dressed appropriately for a 3-mile walk to the nearest gas station? And base this not on what you wish the temperature to be, check the actual reading on the thermometer now... go on now, go check!

2. Are they wearing shoes that fit or did you get frustrated when you couldn't find Zoe's shoes and figured Clara's would do for a quick trip? (See item #1)

3. Do you have diapers, wipes and a change of clothes? Clara has probably had 10 glass of white grape juice already today (BAD MOMMY) and will likely pee through her diaper and clothes onto her carseat.

4. Do you have snacks and lollipops on hand in case you need to bribe them in a pinch?

OK now, your being a good mommy. Open the door and as you leave the stale indoor air behind you, conjure up some optimism and proclaim:

"This is going to be a fabulous day!"

My new beginning to each day, thanks to two awesome friends :
1. You're going to have to deal with it yourselves, mommy is not going to right now.
2. " This is going to be a fabulous day! "
