My kids have one more day of school, and as I write this, I know that my life is about to enter a new tumultuous orbit, I can feel Slacker Mom emerging! I figure if my kids can sleep in and play video games, swim, and eat junk food all day, then so can I. Truding through mountains of laundry, a thing of the past. Dinner? Check the freezer and the pantry, and oh, please be creative.
I like Slacker Mom, she’s cool. Margarita in one hand and watering can in the other. She loves gardening and photography, and of course, astronomy. During the warm months she can be found out by the pool, preferably barefoot, slacking and gazing at the stars and the moon. Slacker Mom is planning on taking some short road trips to practice her photography.
Of course, now that school is out, the wranglers will have to go with her. Mom is used to driving solo everywhere, she enjoys her peace and quiet. The wranglers see that differently. It’s a battle just getting them into the car without them wildly breaking into an argument.
Mommies In Orbit has twins, eleven years old, who drive her right to the edge. She’s gone over a couple of times and always usually ends up somewhere similar to a black hole in outer space. Somedays it’s actually more comforting there… These kids can be compared to Neptune, the fourth largest planet in the solar system. Neptune not only has the fastest winds in the solar system, but it’s full of storms, quite like we have right here at home.
You would have thought by now I ‘d be used to the award-winning door slamming performances, attitudes from hell, and various other preteen tactics. Nope, it still rattles my nerves. So, with summertime right around the corner, I wholeheartedly welcome, Slacker Mom!
