I think I'll make a parenting dictionary. Let me start with these frequently used terms:
Happy Hour - was once when you kicked back with some half-price appetizers and an adult beverage. These days my Happy Hour is the rare occasion when all three of the kids are asleep. When this happens, I frantically wrack my brain for what I need to get done...and then I end up taking a nap because I instantly lose all motivation. So, Happy Hour is now when I recharge my batteries by sleeping.
Triple Threat - when all three kids stink up the house at the same time. Why, oh, why does this always happen at the same time? Brooklyn's in the bathroom, Jameson is running around denying "the stinky" and Emmett has pooped up to his neck. Triple Threat people, Triple Threat.
Meltdownthirty - happens when you try to skip naps, have a late dinner, forget to pack a snack, basically whenever you break your "routine." All your kids start to cry in what I call the domino effect. It only takes one to start the domino and then they all follow, not even knowing what they are supposed to be crying about. Meltdownthirty.
There are more, plenty more terms that I'll educate y'all on here and there.
Priceless!
