What? Why are you laughing?
Oh, you don't believe a word of that?
You want the truth? OK, I stink at math. There. Are you happy now?
I can't add without my fingers and I certainly can't compute in my head without getting dizzy. But I can do Mommy Math.
For example,
LEGOs + soft music = 45 minutes of peace and quiet so Mommy can lay on couch undisturbed.
1 intense craving for Nestle Crunch Ice Cream Bar + 2 kids + a good 3 minutes before they find me = Mommy having to shove the whole thing in her mouth while hiding in the garage.
Nasty smell from laundry room + forgotten towels in the washer = break time is over for Mommy.
Children's bedtime - daddy + frazzled & cranky mommy = DRAMA times infinity!!
Mommy Math is simple and fun. Anyone lacking sleep and personal privacy for long periods of time can master this.
What is your equation?

Perfectly good home cooked dinner + two young children = YUCK!
Cute post!
This was a cute post! I had to laugh when you said you count on your fingers because I am the same way. I never liked math.
Funny!
this morning ours is:
1 cell phone alarm not going off + 1 sleepy mommy = 1 first grader almost making it out the door with his shirt on backwards.
ehehehe! thanks for the laugh!!! I didn't see the evil stepsister Anger in any of those equations, so that's a good thing, right? oh and by the way, I found a new secret online for those stinky forgotten loads of towels. Run them through another rinse using vinegar instead of fabric softener. You'd think they would stink worse, but while you can smell the vinegar when you open the washer, if you smell the towel, they smell SO clean. And then dryer sheets will whip away any remaining whiff of vinegar. Works wonders. =) And by the way, if you have the evil stepsister Anger, then I must have the other evil stepsister Fury. *GRIN*
3 kids at school + 1 husband leaving for a week = (I'll let you figure it out)
cool mommies + the world wide wide = my online entertainment!
I've got a good one today...
1 Starbucks Mocha Latte + 30 minutes of friend/sister-in-law, face-to-face, with no kids, impromptu talk time = my good mood today!
And a good post for my blog!
This was funny Janelle!
Me + 25 page paper due = many hours of t.v watching.
I think I would have done much better with college math if I could have taken mommy math classes! :)
You are so creative! Loved your post!
Not making the sick toddler sit at the table + Dora the Explorer = dinner in peace!
Not as funny as yours but I couldn't think of one that included green snot.
Here's mine:
6 month old + 4 shots at the doctors+ tylenol = 3 hour nap!!!
TOO CUTE!!! :) Love it!
LOVING this Mommy Math!
Disney's Cars + Disney's Cars + Disney's Cars + two little boys that love it = a day of rest! :)
I'm loving the mommy math!!!! I live Alana's dinner formula DAILY, so I can't post that...I've also experienced the "toddler watching Dora = peaceful dinner" one as well...those made me LOL. Here's my soloution to the Sunday Morning Crazies:
Mommy takes shower night before + getting up and out of bed on time = Hubbie happy and we all get ready EARLY for Church!
Mommy gets up late + Mommy needing to shower = Stressed out Mommy/ Bitter Wife and Megga Irritated Hubbie (DJ wanted me to add this formula...I'm not sure why 'cause it's never, ever happened...)
How funny. I'll be looking for some equations today. This is my kind of math!
