Like a Broken Record

One of the things I was least prepared for when I started staying home with my kids was how repetitive my days can sometimes feel.  Prepare a meal, attempt to eat said meal without getting up 20 times to fetch something for the kids, clean up from the meal, and repeat.  I do more food service now than when I worked in a restaurant, I swear!  Along with repeating the same tasks, I feel like I use the same phrases again and again.  Some of them are predictable, but others are things I didn't realize I'd be saying period, let alone All. The. Time.  So, here are a list of my most-used Mom Phrases for your reading pleasure:

• You JUST ate!
• If you want to touch your private parts, you should do it in your own room.
• Closely related: We don't touch our penises in the living room!
• Where are your shoes?
• We're LATE!  Pick up the pace, please.
• Please don't dump out the whole bin of blocks/trains/play food.
• Quiet please; your brother is napping.
• Don't feed your food to the dog.
• Do you have to go potty?
• I am watching.  Oh wow, that's cool!
• Don't tackle/push/hit your brother.
