Mmm, nothing like that first sip of Sunday morning coffee...90 minutes after you first poured it.
Because I am the mom.

I might have just eaten the last of the leftover Cheesecake Factory cake, 10 minutes before the boys get home. But really, it was only (less than) enough for 1 person, so I basically just prevented a fight.
I'm such a problem-solver.

"When I share this day with my class tomorrow, I'll have to tell them you were the meanest for not letting us play video games."

Because I am the mom.

As I'm standing at the stove literally admiring the pot of vegetables and the broth it's making, and the pan of teeny meatballs next to it (that will soon be combined to make Italian wedding soup), I hear, "Ugh. What is that awful smell?! I hope that's not dinner."

I'm not so much stealing their jellybeans as I am decreasing their tooth decay.
Because I am the mom.

I'm making a nice Spring veggie pasta primavera for dinner. It will not be a hit with the family, but whatever, it's my turn.

I put beans in the chili tonight.

I brought the iPad to the photo studio so that the boys would be quiet while I chose photos after their Christmas picture sitting.
Because I am the mom.

I made the boys eat bananas with their breakfast since that's the healthy thing to do. Then I ate chocolate chip cookies with coffee for breakfast.
