“Goodnight! And tell your Mommy to clean out her car!”
“…Mom I am literally standing right next to you.”
“Well I’m just saying, that if you just take 10 minutes every night after the kids go to bed…”
If I were to add up all of the “just take 10 minutes” that my mother has suggested, I would never sleep again. If it’s not the state of my car, it’s the baskets of laundry I have yet to fold, the toys scattered about my backyard, or the exercise I’m putting off. At times she’s like a living, breathing Instagram feed, reminding me that I’m not doing enough.
