And don’t forget all those weekends in Aspen

January 30, 2008 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, Motherhood, My Girls 4 Comments

Feeling certain that her mother’s existence is far cushier than her own, Cate compiled an itemized complaint at the breakfast table this morning.

“Mommies get all the fun stuff, like blogs and mommy/daddy movies and sweet & sour mix with that other stuff in it and going on retreats and to Hawaii…”

I think it might be really fun to perpetuate this myth and tell her about all the Polly Pockets and My Little Ponies that I played with while on retreat last weekend.

And in my defense, it will soon be Lent, and I will be putting aside that sweet & sour mix with the tequila in it.

Ad Jesum per Mariam,

    You play My Little Ponies too? Good. I’m glad I’m not the only one. 🙂

    Boy, we were just complaining over here about how it’s SO not fair that mommy calls the shots on the computer time.
    Did you get a good tan? 🙂

    Oh, the poor mistreated kid. It’s such a rough life! :-p

    Show her this in 25 years, and I guarantee she’ll recant. 🙂

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
