My Mom Roles

Being a mom is always an adventure. Even on the dull days, there is typically drama that abounds. Most moms know they wear many different hats. Here are just a few of mine:
• bread-crust cutter
• notebook signer
• grocery shopper (I actually had this one on the list twice—guess you know what’s important in our house)
• fish, frog and dog feeder
• pillow fluffer and bed straightener
• shhh-er (even made one of the girls cry last night by doing this one)
• the one who always knows where the band-aids are
• night-light bulb finder (or new night light buyer if we can’t find more bulbs)
• personal shopper and daily clothes picker-outer (I envy those of you whose kids pick out their clothes—I’d even be okay if mine looked like Rainbow Brite, as long as they did it themselves)
• dish washer
• laundry folder (although I will admit, this one I’m always 2-3 days behind on)
• sock matcher (yes, this could be included in laundry folder, but I think it deserves it’s own bullet point—if you’ve had to ever pair up socks of 2 girls who are only 2 shoes sizes apart, you’ll understand why)
• frozen waffle cooker (yeah, I know “cooker” is a stretch, but someone has to put them in the toaster, butter them and pour the syrup)
• chauffeur (even though they don’t treat my car like they would a limo)
• orange peeler, apple cutter, and banana peel starter
• apple juice maker
• reading buddy
• birthday party planner
• doctor, dentist and dermatologist appointment maker
• bad dream sleeping partner
• soccer schedule knower
• pony tail maker
• hair straightener
• hair curler

And those are just my daily tasks. I’m sure I left something off. What about you? What would you add to the list?
