that mom

you know that mom who is so stressed that she actually exudes crazy right out of her pores? she runs around like a mad woman, wrangling children, buckling seatbelts, putting in pacifiers. she is so busy that you can't actually talk to her on the phone - she has screaming children in the background, she keeps saying STOP THAT in mid-sentence, and she's using both her hands to cook a meal and hold a baby while the phone is lodged between her ear and her shoulder. she doesn't actually hear or see anyone, she is too busy with her all-important job of being a mom. she also tailgates and uses her car's horn liberally.

i hate that mom.

this week, i am that mom.
