What to Anticipate If I’m Not Anticipating You

Hey there! If you find yourself dropping by my place unexpectedly, especially during the day while my partner is still at work, here’s what you can expect from me and my chaotic home. Fair warning: this might be the last time you decide to visit!

1. I probably haven’t showered. Sure, I might have cleaned up yesterday, but today? Not so much. So, keep your distance, okay?
2. My hair will be in a messy bun on top of my head, looking like a grease ball that’s somehow holding itself together without any help. My little one loves to imitate me and will proudly declare, “I’m Mama!”
3. I’ll be crossing my arms over my chest because, well, I’m not wearing a bra. Or I might be holding a child in front of me, but don’t be surprised if I quickly hand them to you and dash off to find something to put on.
4. You’ll notice my tired eyes, accentuated by dark circles. I won’t be wearing any makeup, so you’ll get the full, unfiltered me.
5. Toys will be strewn across the floor—just a typical day in my house.
6. The air may carry the delightful aroma of dirty diapers mixed with apple cinnamon air freshener. You’ll probably arrive just after I’ve dealt with a major diaper disaster or as I’m searching for a hidden toddler who may have had an “accident.” Not my favorite part of parenting, I must admit.
7. The floor will be sticky—thanks, toddlers!
8. You can bet someone will be crying, and there’s at least a 50% chance that it could be me.
9. My kids will likely cling to you like you’re a long-lost friend—hey, they love company!
10. I’ll have something simmering in the crockpot because, without it, we’d probably starve.
11. There’s probably a load of laundry in the washer that I’ve rewashed every day for the past three days. Seriously, how does this happen?
12. You’ll also find a pile of laundry on the couch that I’ve attempted to fold at least once a day. Toddlers, am I right?
13. Good luck finding a spot on the couch! Between the unfolded laundry and my little ones jumping around, it’s a no-go zone.
14. I’ll definitely have my kids show off everything new they’ve learned. I’m ridiculously proud and will expect you to act impressed too!
15. Initially, I might feel a bit embarrassed by the chaos, but I’ll be really happy to see you. I could use a good chat!
16. Bring coffee, and I’ll be even more thrilled. I’m a sucker for iced raspberry white mocha!
17. I might leave you in a room with my kids while I sneak away for a moment to freshen up. Don’t worry; I’ll return with clean hair, moisturized skin, and a new outlook on life.
