You know you’re a mom when…
Even in your sleep, you parent.
Scene: Me…fast asleep…in my bed…at 12 something am. Kids up. MC had a friend over.
(whispering)…”Mom?…Mom?….Mom are you up”
(because apparently it looked like I was up….you know…pitch dark…eyes closed….snoring….drool. Yeah… I’m up.)
“What? What’s the matter?
“Can Kristen just sleep over since it’s late so she doesn’t have to drive home…we’ll sleep in the basement”
(ahhhh, the basement. See, the basement is cleaner then her room, which is a pigsty.)
“Yes, she can sleep over in your room which you will have to clean if you want her to sleep over. The rule is….if you want someone to sleepover….you have to clean your room.”
Not exactly the ‘clean’ I was looking for…but LOOK! You can see some of the FLOOR!



I'm Sheila. In addition to raising 1 husband and 3 teens, I've founded 




It looks like she’s a fan of the Jonas Brothers. Her walls looked like mine did when I was her age. You couldn’t see the paint then either. Although it was pictures of Top Gun and A-Ha.

It seems like she did try.
Laughing at Marilyn’s comment…My room was the same only I had Duran Duran all over.
Oh the memories!

Can’t wait until The Dudes are old enough to have friends sleep over, then I’ll have a good excuse to get them to clean their rooms!

Well, you can definitely see a clean spot on the floor.
my daughter use to wake me up to ask for something too but it usually didn’t work. she learned to wake her dad because she would more often get the answer she wanted.

Oh my gosh! I remember whenever I cleaned my room it was an all day affair. One because it was a mess, and two because I stopped to look through everything. Each item was like a long lost treasure.

That’s very clean. Seriously. My Room looks like a Twister hit area. I have clothes everywhere which makes walking comfortable… LOL

Not bad! Funny how moms have a definition for clean and kids have an entirely different idea of the word.

oh, they’re in there! ha ha ha!
I don’t think it will take Jack long to figure out that Daddy’s gonna be the sucker who won’t really wake but will probably say, “What? I’m awake” and then “Okay” to whatever is asked. LOL!
What?! It’s the “lived-in” look!

That’s the way my older sisters room always looked. I was never “that” bad.
Sorry I’m late, I have been having computer troubles and just now got the chance to make my WW rounds… Thanks for stopping by my blog and linking up!
