Confessions of a Weird Mom: Part 3

Do you remember the saying, “You sound like a broken record”? It usually applied to people who said the same thing over and over and over and over and over again, ad nauseum.

I guess today the equivalent would be a broken MP3 player, or one that is set on repeat.

As a mom, I often feel like a broken record, saying the same things over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over…….. and over again.

I need my own MP3 player, full of recordings of me saying all the usual Mom things I usually say, with ‘repeat all’ and ‘shuffle’ turned on.  Then I could let it run and I wouldn’t have to say all those things all the time.

My MP3 recordings would sound like this (on shuffle, remember, so not in any particular order):

• Don’t leave that in the middle of the floor.
• If you’re finished with it, put it away where it belongs.
• Who’s dishwasher day is it?
• Is this yours? Is this where it belongs?
• Get that out of your mouth.
• Stop chewing on that!
• Is that how you want to be treated?
• Do I get extra points if I go and find {insert any lost item} right where I just told you to look for it and you say you still can’t find it?
• Stop stuffing things in my purse.
• Please don’t pick your nose/scab/bum/etc…
• …well start by picking up the dirty clothes off the floor.
• I already said NO and it’s time for bed, Goodnight!
• I said Goodnight!
• Didn’t I just say Goodnight?
• Did you pack a lunch?
• Are you ready for bed yet?
• It’s time to get ready to go – we needed to be there 5 minutes ago!
• Your dirty socks don’t match my couch.
• This is not your personal dumping ground.
• GARBAGE!  {meaning that the garbage needs to be taken out, again!}
• I’m not the only one who can {insert random household chore}.
• If it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
• I hear you, I see you, you don’t have to do it again…for the 5th time… in the last 2 minutes.
• It’s OK to be weird!
• I said it’s bedtime!
• Do you have your lunch, pouch, flute, glasses, binder, backpack, gym strip, homework…..? {as they run out the door to school}
• How long have you known that you needed this before telling me right now that you need it in the morning!?
• Check out this cool video on YouTube!
• I said to unplug {take your headphones out} when I’m talking to you.
• No, you can’t play on the computer/wii/ipod/iphone right now!
• Why are you not in bed yet?

Can you tell bedtime is an issue at my house!? *sigh*

I’ll have to ask the kiddos if they can think of any other things I say all the time.  I just asked my daughter, and she said, “It’s OK to be Weird!”  hahaha

I’m sure the list could go on a bit longer.  There are just a lot of things I say over and over.  Isn’t that true for most Moms?  And some of those things are just weird!

Yes, I’m a weird mom, who also happens to be a broken MP3 player… on steroids! HEHEHE

What would be on YOUR broken MP3 player?
