Mommy Math

Lately I've had to dig into my vault to help Jared with algebra homework. It is taxing, but it's not as hard as mommy math. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. This isn't math you learn at school or in special training sessions for your job. These are the equations that you learn through being a parent. Here's an example--

When the length of mom's nice hot shower
is greater than the entertainment value of Zoe's Dance Class DVD
the product is talcum powder all over the living room.
I think I need more training.

Powdered living room for a shower is an equation I have also misjudged. Stay tuned to see the product of dinner prep time + Seth is too quiet.

OHHH. No wonder my house is such a mess. I had NO idea I had to do MATH. It's all clicking together now. Thanks Amy, this is going to change my life! Very funny post!

Oh Snap! My kids have done this ..twice It really looked like it snowed in their bedroom one day. I'm glad you got a picture of it. I didn't think to do that. There was too much steam coming out my ears to think straight!
