Our friend Reid emailed Kevin and I this video about a month after Kate & their son Owen were born. The video is HYSTERICAL. You must watch it! We joked about it and I said my car would NEVER be like that...no matter what.
Fast forward 2 years....
Our friend Wendy is having a contest .
(Kevin and Wendy went to high school together)
Her blog is great & when Kevin & I read about the contest he told me I had to enter. This is a contest I DO NOT want to win, but unfortunately, I am a strong contender.
You see, I am a neat freak. My house is very clean & I don't like clutter around my house. My car, on the other hand is a different story. I used to have a nice clean car. Then I had kids. I swore I would NEVER be one of those mom's who had a nasty kid car. Never say Never. My Tahoe has become my dumping ground! It is quite sad. Kevin gets very annoyed when my car looks like a bomb went off in it. So, here you go in all my glory....what my Tahoe looked like this past week. I WILL be cleaning it out this weekend...I am disgusted at myself!
The contest ended today. The pictures I submitted are below. You can check out the competition here. Can't wait to find out who won! Thanks for the fun Wendy!

congrats sister. email me your address.
ReplyDeleteOh no... you won... how funny! I am the same way about my house and my vehicle... looks the same as yours - the car seats & strollers. The kicker... my kids are 7 & 11. It doesn't get any better just because they get older.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you the other day when I saw a group of the red hat ladies... it made me think of the old lady at the wine tasting whose pic you posted. :0)
Well, I can't say my house is always clean, but I also said I would never let my car become what it unfortunately is today. Mom my ride, indeed. I found a milk sippy yesterday that had become yogurt. Yummay!
ReplyDeleteHrmm, I think I know someone who coulda been a contender...cough..
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Hats off to fellow neat freaks.
ReplyDeleteI had a "I'm not going to be one of THOSE moms" moments yesterday at soccer. My son's team lost the championship because the OTHER team had an illegal player (obviously older kid, not originally on their team). It really made a bunch of us pretty hot under the collar because if it weren't for him, our team would have won...but we were too chicken to say anything for fear of being pegged as outrageous helicopter parents! LOL!
And yes, my cars can get pretty messy too...
We live in California; land of earthquakes. Having crumbs and food on the floor isn’t messy, it's being prepared. You never know how long you could be stuck in your car and having food, clothing and entertainment is just good ole common sense!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't stop laughing when I read this post. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, Mel... but I think I woulda beat you in your Momness!! I, too, revel in a clean house and any little bit of clutter sends my head into a frenzy! But my car? I can't keep that sucker clean to save my life!! We are cut from the same cloth!
ReplyDeleteThank you Thank You Very much Doctor Otonokpo for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am Cordelia Sandra from Brazil and i am putting this testimony here too because i want to share my testimony of how i was helped by Doctor Otonokpo within 48 hours of contacting him. Yes, it was last week my ex boyfriend returned to me after i contacted Doctor Otonokpo. My boyfriend was always going back to meet his ex girlfriend because he never really left her. Her name was Sophie. I didn't know how it happened one day after breakfast that i saw him looking at his ex girlfriend's picture on Facebook and I flared at him that he doesn't care about him and he was with me and still thinking about his ex although we have been dating for 6 months. He stormed at me and left the house and never returned. I was heartbroken and wanted him to come back. I was in a nightclub with friend one evening that I saw him with Sophie there, I was humiliated that night and I regretted going there only to see him there. I went online after some days and found Doctor Otonokpo and read about him and I contacted him to help me get him back. I must say that within 48 hours, my boyfriend came back to me and pleaded for leaving me. Is this how spell works so fast? Please, if you want help, contact Doctor Otonokpo too to help you at otonokpotemple@gmail.com
