Welcome back!
Erin @ ThingsMomsLike.com is the official winner of the If Mama Don’t Laugh, It Ain’t Funny Blog Tour Cap, comliments of author Lucy Adams!
We had some great entries, but the funniest mom story of all is this:
“I was all geared up for another sick day with the kid and was making him some eggs when I hear a loud noise from the laundry room. Apparently when I started laundry, I didn’t realize that DH had put the new HUGE size detergent half on the washer and half on the counter next to the washer. Well, it had fallen during the spin cycle and the cap broke and it splashed all over the place. Our doggie sleeps in there and thankfully it hadn’t fallen on her and she ran out after it happened, but it had splashed all over her, all over the laundry room, and was glug glug glugging a river all over her favorite blanket and the rest of everything else on the floor. Well then she comes in after me and, well, bless her heart because she’s blind, she steps on and knocks over her water bowl and it runs into the detergent, which is super slippery and I slip and fall into the detergent mess. Meanwhile, my son, NO KIDDING, is talking to me about Star Wars and is trying to give me a LIGHT SABER so we can play. He’s SIX! He can’t see that I am wallowing in laundry detergent, trying to get up. So I yell at him that I CAN’T PLAY RIGHT NOW and he starts crying and so that adds to the fun.
My dog has detergent on her fur, so I get her into the bath and she’s trying to climb out and shaking her fur all over at the same time and I am just like thinking ‘this is hell, there really IS a hell and this is it’ and my cat comes into the bathroom sniffing around and then the dog goes really nuts and jumps out of the tub and I’m chasing down slippery, wet dog and finally got her rinsed and somewhat dry.”
Well, Erin, for surviving and sharing your experience, I wish you an especially Happy Mother’s Day! Soon you’ll be wearing your If Mama Don’t Laugh, It Ain’t Funny cap with pride. I invite you (and ALL my readers) to share more adventures from your home anytime! After all, hearing about the mishaps in each other’s lives can help us through our own.

A Mommy-Muse Should Know Better You"™d think I would know better. My youngest daughter was bouncing around, climbing my leg and being a naturally distracting (if adorable) three-year-old. Looking back, I recall a blessed moment of quiet when she discovered my wallet sitting on my desk. I remember thinking, "I"™d better take that away before...... -
