Tales of a White Trash Mom

Yesterday was my cleaning day, which usually means that my kids look like orphans all day and so do I. It also means I do whatever is necessary to keep them entertained. All rules of health and propriety go out the window. So what is a mom to do when the baby is frustrated because she can't keep up with the other two kids and I still have housework to do, so I can't entertain her very well?

Answer: You turn on a "Wiggles" video, since your baby has decided recently that she really likes them. You go downstairs and pull out the "Big girl" chair. (No, I don't have a high chair. Funny little thing about me - I hate high chairs. I like the cheepie little boosters that I can strap onto a resin chair and then when they get messy, the whole thing goes in the shower.) Anyway, back to our solution: I get the big chair out, strap Kate in it, turn on the "Wiggles" and pop a sucker in her mouth.


Do you think she likes it? After the sucker was gone, we went to Cheerios. What great snacks. And the "Wiggles" make great babysitters! Highly recommend them.


So, yes, I am a white trash mom with sticky icky kids who did not have healthy snacks yesterday. But I am a white trash mom with a clean house, and happy kids. This makes a happy mommy!
