I have two girls who are 8 and almost 3. As if the toys taking over the living room, Dora on the TV and the bottomless pit of laundry hampers isn't enough I discovered more evidence that I am a mom.
My youngest daughter E likes to watch movies during car rides. Even if it is only to town which is about 10 minutes away. So one morning I took my older girl to school, I usually make her ride the bus but it was Friday and I decided to let her sleep in a little later. She loves it when I take her to school because we stop at Subway and get her a breakfast egg sandwich. I have offered to make her one in the morning at home but it just isn't the same according to her. Maybe it is because I give her the money and let her go into Subway by herself. She orders her sub and pay for it herself. Yes, I live in a small town and I have no problem letting her be independent.
So we stop at Subway and then K scarfs down her sub as we drive to the other side of town. We drop K off and head to daycare for E all the while I am listening to Despicable Me 2. I think I heard that movie about 3 times before I got to watch it and really appreciate how funny it is. I drop off E at school and yes, I leave the car running, small town remember. I get back in my car and head downtown to do some errands. I catch myself mimicking the lines and yes, laughing at the jokes for about 5 minutes before I realize I don't have a child in the car and can change the channel. Needless to say Despicable Me was left for later in the day when I picked E up from daycare. I laughed out loud at just more proof that I am a mom!
