Finding a Balance Between
"Me-Hood" and "Motherhood"

In this blog I'll be covering as wide a variety of subjects as the duties of a real mom in today's culture.


From raising special needs children, family vacations, marriage, relationships, sex, cooking, local to-do, school (both for you and the children), working, hiring a daycare provider, arts and crafts, decorating, holidays, to well... EVERYTHING!

No holding back.

The Replacer

If I had to give myself a superhero name, I’d be “The Replacer.” Replacing toilet paper with a single hand! I’m suspecting there are more “Replacers” here then just me. Toilet paper, paper towels, light bulbs, batteries, worn out socks and underware. I replace things around the house that my family doesn’t even know about. I’m starting to wonder if Target was named thusly so that even men can find it… “Just drive till you find the red bulls eye honey!”

 

Seriously! How many of you share your home with other “Replacers?” I’m guessing none-to-few. There’s usually only one “Replacer” per household (not quite sure why.) I’m also convinced that the other people in the home aren’t even aware that the person is a “Replacer,” because they do their job so well. There’s just mysteriously ALWAYS toilet paper in the bathroom, or new socks and underwear appear overnight, or the batteries in the remote are ALWAYS good! Hah! The “Replacer” strikes again!

 

What do you think? Are you the “Replacer” in your home?

My hubby and I are equal opportunity replacers...

I replace:
  • Toilet paper
  • Underwear...actually all of the kids clothes is handled by me!
  • Art supplies (these wear out quick in our house)
  • Shower gel
  • Groceries (usually)
Hubby replaces:
  • Batteries
  • Bird feeder
  • windshield wiper fluid

Great blog!

Hmmm, that's a good question!  I'd have to say my husband is the Replacer, however I think I am the Reminder for the Replacer.  But, we are kind of equal to it at the same time (I think we tend to take turns).

WOW! Two comments saying you're BOTH the replacer. I'm really surprised. I must just come from a long line of women who marry men who aren't and assumed it was more common than it is. Interesting! Luckily my husband replaces the most important thing... the bank account. Hahah.

I am the toilet paper replacer. I often wonder what people in my family are wiping with while they wait for me to get around to it.

Extra scary thought if you're even out of Kleenex? I'd wash those towels if I were you. Hahaha.
