Top 10 Things THIS mom wants…
10. A chauffeur…for my son. This would probably free up 2 hours a day for me. Just sayin’9. To go to the restroom with reading material…and NOT be immediately startled by pounding on the door and the words “It’s really important!” or, “I need to ask you something real quick.”
8. To not discover a lingering pair of underwear or dirty socks in the room after being reassured that ALL of the dirty clothes had been collected. Or better yet, to not find clean clothes in the laundry hamper (still on hangers mind you) because it’s easier to add them to the dirty pile than to hang them in the closet. Or better still, to pull a clean load out of the dryer and not discover candy, change, super bouncy balls or dried up lizards. Don’t even get me started…I have a laundry list of laundry issues to deal with.
7. To be able to leave my house without ever EVER having to ask the following questions again:
-Did you feed the dogs? Did you give them fresh water?
-Did you brush your teeth?-Did you put on deodorant?
-Did you change your underwear?
6. A closed refrigerator door, a bread bag tied closed after use, a toilet seat that’s dry when people sit, an area in the front room clear of boys shoes, ripstick, school bag and the like (I know, I cheated a little here by combining multiple items into one, but can you blame me? This list is looong baby!)
5. A new discovery by the government revealing that video games are hazardous to your mom’s mental health, and therefore there shall be a mandated ban enforced immediately.
4. To make it through a checkout line at the store without being solicited for impulse items
3. To make a valid point without receiving a conspicuous (and original) eye roll in response
2. To have a phone conversation sans the peanut gallery interrupting me to offer its two cents
1. “Dear Ms. Miller, We are pleased to inform you that, through due diligence, hard work, and an impeccable high school transcript, your brilliant son Brandon has earned a full scholarship to our prestigious university for as many years as necessary to complete his post graduate degree.
