A Mom's Life

Take your plate into the kitchen, please.
Take it downstairs when you go.
Don't leave it there, take it upstairs.
Is that yours?
Don't hit your brother
I'm talking to you.
Just a minute, please, can't you see I'm talking?
I said, Don't interrupt.
Did you brush your teeth?
What are you doing out of bed?
Go back to bed.
You can't watch in the afternoon.
What do you mean, there's nothing to do?
Go outside
Read a book.
Turn it down.
Get off the phone.
Tell your friend you'll call her back. Right now!
Hello? No, she's not home.
She'll call you when she gets home.
Take a jacket. Take a sweater.
Take on anyway.
Someone left their shoes in front of the TV.
Get the toys out of the hall. Get the toys out of the bathtub..
Get the toys off the stairs.
Do you realize that could kill someone.
Hurry up.
Hurry up. Everyone's waiting.
I'll count to ten and then we're going without you.
Did you go to the bathroom?
If you don't go your not going.
I mean it!
Why didn't you go before you left?
Stop it.
I said, Stop it!
I don't want to hear about it.
Stop it or I'm taking you home right now!
That's it! We're going home.
Give me a kiss.
I need a hug.
Make our bed.
Clean up your room.
Set the table.
I need you to set the table!
Sit up.
]Just try a little. You don't have to eat the whole thing.
Stop playing and eat.
Would you watch what you're doing?
Move your glass. It's too close to the edge.
Watch it!
More what?
More, please. That's better
Just eat one bite of salad.
You don't always get what you want. That's life.
Don't argue with me. I'm not discussing this anymore.
Go to your room.
No, ten minutes are not up.
One more minute.
How many times have I told you, don't do that.
Where did the cookies go?
Eat the old fruit before you eat the new fruit.
I'm not giving you mushrooms.
I've taken all the mushrooms out. See?
Is your homework done?
Stop yelling. If you want to ask me something, come here.
STOP YELLING IF YOU WANT TO ASK ME SOMETHING, COME HERE!
I'll think about it.
Not now.
Ask your father.
We'll see.
Don't sit so close to the television. It's bad for your eyes.
Calm down
Cam down and start over.
Is that the truth?
Fasten your seat belt.
Did everyone fasten their seat belts?
I'm sorry, that's the rule. I'm sorry, that's the rule.
I'm sorry, that's the rule.

Isn't this the truth! I find myself saying WAY too many of these.

SOOOOOO unbelievable... I was just telling Shawn last night that I say the same things over and over again, especially with the kids and school. It makes me want to write them all down and hopefully laugh as hard as I did reading this list.

That made me chuckle. Seriously that is a mom's life.
