Welcome to a day in my life. I can't guarantee that this will be an exciting read for anyone. My life is filled with all the mundane activities of a stay-at-home-mom just trying to raise her three sons to be the best men they can be.

I just found out that the Thursday Thirteen went down. Fortunately, there are many who couldn't let it go. You can find them HERE if you want to participate.

So, on to my list.

Thirteen Things I Say Everyday to My Boys

1. Ewww! Gross! (OK, I'll admit that I say this one more than once every day!)
2. Ummmm .... are you wearing that?
3. Have you done your homework?
4. Get up. Get up now. GET OUT OF BED!
5. you're going to be late for school.
6. You need a shower!
7. Who farted?? (usually followed by Ewwwww! Gross)
8. Get off the TV (or computer, or wii) you have things to do.
9. your room is a mess! Didn't your mother teach you to pick up after yourself?
10. Don't make me come up there!
11. You are your father's son!!!

  2. I can so tell you have boys. It's amazing how different sons and daughters are.
    Daughter: 'I can tell Brother has been in here. My room is stinky.'
    Son: 'What? I don't smell anything.'
    :P

  5. Barb it must be a mother to boys thing because mine are 5 and 2 and I say most of those things every single day. Are you telling me that it doesn't change when they get older.

  17. Love this idea, what a great way to capture things mom says.
    More than a few of those apply to my family also. Boys!
    You should get the boys to write out a list like this also and see how it differs.

  18. Oh Barb! These are HYSTERICAL! And I can TOTALLY see you saying each and everyone of those!

  19. Hahaha, my kids are still to small to tell them most of these lines. But in a few years I will think of you again and remember your post. Haha

    Have a great weekend,
    Love, es

  20. We stopped fighting the clean room battle a few years ago. Now our boys are clean. It was simple, we just changed the measure point. If neither Evie nor I see any mess, nor smell anything coming from their room, the room is clean. Hence, they keep their doors closed. LOL
