How to leave, Mommy-Style

On Saturday afternoon, Scott phoned me unexpectedly from a meeting to say he needed a lift home. Needless to say, the house was a mess, the children were only half dressed and I was in my slippers. Ever wondered how a mom of three leaves the house with her children?
 

1) Make one bottle of formula for the trip.

2) Order two older children into shoes and socks.

3) Scoop all stray toys onto an empty lounge chair.

4) Line all children up at front door while you set burglar alarm.

5) Push everyone out the door before you set alarm off.

6) Realise you’ve left car keys in door…Inside.

7) Line all children up at car and tell them, on threat of death, not to move.

8) Run inside, grab keys and re-set alarm.

9) Run outside.

10)  Realise you’ve left your cell phone inside.

11)  Ensuring all children still present and accounted for outside, run back inside, grab cell phone and re-set alarm.

12)  Run outside.

13)  Open car and tell children to buckle up.

14)  Be informed by oldest child that baby seat is not in car.

15)  Scoop baby up and seat him inside car.

16)  Run inside, grab baby seat and re-set alarm.

17)  Buckle youngest in baby seat.

      18)  Drive off, calm and in control.

Easy-peasy. Piece of cake.
