Murphy's Laws:
(when you have kids)
- Clean sheets = spontaneous bed wetting
- Fresh mopped floor = oil spill (true story, but no evidence. From The Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva.)
- Favorite food bought in bulk = sudden disinterest in favorite food
- New clothes = growth spurt
- Bedtime routine perfected = day light savings
- Mother with a hangover = classmates birthday party
- Brand new toy = packaging is more fun
- Babysitter = good behavior
- New phone = tub of water
- On time to school = forgot homework at home
- Brand new dishes = child breaks one
- First day of new job = child gets flu (I highly recommend Little White Lion's article)
- 2 hours spent on a lovely meal = they want hot dogs
- Unexpected check in the mail = tire blows out
- Second day of diet = you are volunteered to make 3 dozen cupcakes
- Finally get around to cutting that melon = it's gone bad
- Clean white shirt = meets child's marker (when will we learn that we can only wear the color black when we have children??)
- Empty tank of gas = emergency carpool leader
- Expensive wine = knocked over on floor
- They finally like grilled cheese sandwiches = just not at a restaurant after you've already ordered it.
- "I want ice cream" = "I didn't want chocolate ice cream!"
- You shower, shave, dab some perfume, climb into bed.... = child has nightmare, needs to sleep with you.
Love it! And so true, especially number 8!

ReplyDelete#10. It just makes me cry to see it. Usually when I have a meeting somewhere that it will make me late for when I go home and get the homework :(
ReplyDelete#3 - nothing kills a fav food like having it on hand.
ReplyDeleteWow, can relate to so many. #16 why is it so hard to get around to cutting a melon? havent figured that out yet but it is.
