Pages:  1  2  3  

4. When you drop your child off at his/her class on the first day, how will you exit the building?
A. Sharing a box of Kleenex with other weepy moms as you leave your "babies" behind.
B. Leave what building? I only plan to slow down at the curb so they can jump from the minivan!
C. I will punch the air with a triumphant fist while leaping off the top step in a fit of "I feel good!" vibes worthy of a Senecot commercial.
 
5. Your plans for your first free day include:
A. Cleaning the entire house from top to bottom. Soap scum waits for no man uh, woman you know.
B. Tearfully leafing through every photo album of your child wondering how they grew so fast.
C. Breakfast with the girls, followed by an entire day of pampering at a chi chi day spa, arriving back at the school carpool line just in time to pick up your children.
 
6. Two of your children are now in school, with one still at home. What do you do?
A. Resign myself to 4,000 more readings of Green Eggs and Ham.
B. Resolutely live your life from one naptime to the next. Highlight of your day being the one hour when you wash underwear and socks alone.
C. Join or create a babysitting co-op with other SAHM parents, guaranteeing at least one day a week of child-free grownup time! You have earned it, girlfriend!
