First: Underwear. These are nice and shiny (the ones I wanted to show even made me gag so I refrained) but the ones at my house are filled with "touch and go's". Good times.
Second: Stinky socks. Now I am talking so stinky that they pretty much stand up on their own stinky. GAG!!
Third: Pee and other non-mentionables left in the toilet. I have 2 children, I won't mention names (they are both girls), that are afraid of flushing the toilet. So when I walk into the bathroom this is what I find almost every time (and sometimes there is an added brown surprise).
Fourth: Boogers. O is really good at picking her nose. Matter of fact if there were a nose picking contest she would win hands down. She is infamous for picking it in the car and then SCREAMING at me that she has a booger on her finger and needs a tissue. UGH!! I have also found boogers on walls, furniture, in the car and other places. And I will say this--O is not the only one to blame for all those boogers.
So goes a day in my life. I am sure that I am not the only one who has to deal with the joys of motherhood--which makes me happy to know that I am not alone. Who would have guessed that 10 years ago I would be willing to give up so much to have the opportunity to be a mom. But truth be known--I wouldn't trade it for the world!!

And people say MY pictures are disturbing?!?
I had a good comment, but after reading Kristina's comment, I couldn't stop laughing long enough to remember what I was going to say.
Oh, yeah. I love being a mom too. But not for ANY of these reasons!!!
I am busting up right now. Wish I had something witty to say to this so true post, but I don't. Just laughs.
Oh, I hear ya loud and clear, but seriously, EWWW!!
Just this morning, while I was doing peter's hair, she asked me where she should put the buggers she had on her two pointer fingers. She had been walking around with them, wondering where to put them. At least she didn't eat them.
I am a mom. I deal with all that too and I still gagged a little reading this post.
What's with being afraid to flush? My oldest still has that issue. At least she'll put TP in there now, for a while she would put it in the garbage can because she was afraid to put it in the toilet!
And Sophie and O are kindred spirits with the boogers in the car! :)
Last night Matthew got home from Beavers and came and sat with me while I was folding laundry. He put his feet up on the side of the basket. I almost died! Seriously, the five year old boy has the worst foot odor! I sent him directly to the bath tub. Kids are fab!!
Ya you gotta love that!! I hate messes you shoudl read my latest post! I swear boogers only start getting picked when we get in the car!!
liz
lol so your saying this it want i get to look forward to??? :) Ya i cant wait
Here's a booger story for you: One of my brothers loved to pick his nose - and still does (he is 27 almost 28). He would pick and paste on the wall or where ever he was. One day my mom pulled out the couch while getting ready to paint and what she found made her happy she was painting. An entire line of boogers along the frame of the couch. Green and gross and TONS of them. She painted right over it. I'm glad at least one of your girls wipes them off! My nephew just eats them... which is so gross to me... but I know I used to do it. haha.
I wonder what kind of stories I'll have....
Wow! What does one say to that? Speechless!!
Those shiny underwear though..Spectacular!!
Whitney--
My son had a booger wall in his bedroom. When found it--it was COVERED with boogs. I started gaggging instantly. I tried to wipe them off to no avail. So I got a butter knife and handed it to him and he had to scrape every last one of them off.
I can handle most things without gagging, but boogers get me everytime. Anything snot related totally grosses me out. I'm gagging just thinking about it.
p.s. Are "touch and go's" the same thing as skid marks?
Michelle-
Yes. I heard touch and go from a Navy Officer. He told me it was like a plane landing you touch down and then go and then touch town and go and then finally touch down--which leaves skid marks!! hehe!!
Danielle-
Those sparkly undies are made out of recycled stuff. Kind of cool.
this perfectly describes my day...now, about the underwear...WOW...
Came by to say thanks for being my blog friend. I have awarded you the NENO award....Have fun, pass it along, and thanks for the friendship. cyberhug...♥
i couldn't get past the undies. what are they made from? (they look kinda' uncomfortable)
despite all those warnings, i can't wait to become a mother too. :)
Rychelle-
They are made from recycled materials. I didn't delve any further so I don't know what kind of materials but it looks like soda pop cans to me.
Ah the glamourosity of being a mom! I was a nose picker and wiper. I feel bad for my mom.
You haven't seen nasty underwear until you've seen the underwear at my house.
Boogers are the worst!! I remember my mom @ church calling a little kid sitting in front of us a booger pickin' moron....it's just so icky!
Oh man, I TOTALLY relate even though I am a working mom. I still come home to the same stuff! That's when friends come in handy to help keep those little insanities in their proper place.
I am SO thankful that our house doesn't have that problem.
Ugh, that toilet made me gag a little.
LOL! Hey come check out my new book giveaway blog :)
Oh man... I am so gagging right now. I really have to draw the line at boogers. I am so glad I didn't see pictures of that today!
And they say we will miss it someday!
ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! oh yes. yes. yes.
the only difference with me, is that the Grody-est person in my family isn't a child... it's my HUSBAND!!!! you should SEE his UNDERWEAR!!!!!!
and
he flicks his boogers... he says that as long as he doesn't SEE where it lands, then he isn't responsible for it.
sicko.
Thanks for grossing me out and making me laugh! :o)
ha ha ha ha ha ha ROFL!!!
oh my heck LOL nasty I am not looking forward to the toilet thing or the touch & go's lol never heard that term before!
Eww. And so true. Poo is my life. Everyday, more than once a day. I have gotten used to it.
My girls TOTALLY leave pee in the toilet. It is SOOOO disgusting and I hate it! Arg!!!!!
