Do you ever wake up sometimes and feel like crap and tell yourself I’m not sick, but I don’t wanna do a damn thing??!! That my friends means you just don’t want to adult.

There is nothing wrong with this. It doesn’t even have to happen in the morning..it could strike at 5 p.m. before you even leave work…as you sit and think about your commute or the upcoming evening activities like driving your kids to sports or school or social events….uggh just thinking about finding parking at Back to School night gives me a headache..yeah this is called adulting.

Can we have a opt out of adulting button..like an app? I love being a working mom, but sometimes I’m so tired from thinking about what I have to do, I just stress myself out. So by the time 6 p.m. rolls around I’m a total basket case LOL.

Lately I’ve been giving myself little rewards to pysch myself up for the mandatory adulting… I will pack myself a treat, yes I deserve treats. I’m pretty classy so most of the time its goldfish crackers, a special K bar, or peanut M&M’s..the King size bag because I’m grown  and those snack size bags are for small children. Now If it’s a really bad day I’m stopping to get myself a coffee and a donut because I’m I like nice and shiny things and glazed donuts are supper shiny if you get them when they are fresh…those who really know me know most likely it’s 2 donuts)

Now you are Adulting and watching the clock to see how long you’ve been sitting at soccer practice, or waiting for that one parent who thinks Back to School night is her personal parent conference and wants to summarize their child’s whole damn life…..it’s like come on now there are like 25 adults plus 100 kids in this classroom, take some photo’s of your kids artwork and say GOODNIGHT ALREADY!

I can say these things because I go to every Open House, Back to School night, parent meeting, and anything else teachers are stuck doing after they have been with our kids 8 hours already and now we are making them miss time with their own families…hell they may need to get to their own child’s school…yes I think about stuff like this.

I’m just saying if you have to adult you deserve something that will ease the pain…It’s like when kids go to the doctors and they get a prize or sticker for being well behaved….yeah you deserve something for being a good parent.

Now I’m not saying you should get crazy and go on a shopping spree or buy all new appliances, calm down….I’m just saying take 5 minutes out and Treat Yo’self!

Adulting isn’t what we all thought it was gonna be…for real.. I wish somebody would have told me to don’t grow up so fast..wait they did tell me that, I didn’t listen??!! I thought when I turned 18 I would not have to follow rules, and I could buy anything I wanted and nobody would be the boss of me…you know the one sided way we all thought…well maybe it was just me??!!

So the point I’m making is just we all need to reward ourselves for all the things we do for our families, friends, pet’s and even strangers!

So before you jump in the car and sit through a 3 hour dance recital, or spend 2 hours listening to chatty parents take over Back to School night, or drive your kid 4 hours to a football camp treat yo’self to a Starbucks, fries, donuts, or whatever floats your boat….why because YOU DESERVE IT!
