What to Anticipate When You Drop By Unexpectedly
If you happen to swing by my place and I wasn’t prepared for your arrival, especially during the day while my partner is still at work, here’s what you can expect from me and my humble abode. Fair warning: this could be your last visit.
- I probably won’t have showered today. I might have managed it yesterday, but today? Nope. So, keep your distance. And don’t give me that look; I know I’m not exactly at my best (okay, maybe I am).
- My hair will likely be a messy ball on top of my head, so greasy it could stand on its own. My toddler likes to mimic me with a similar style, declaring, “I’m Mama!” It’s cute, I suppose.
- I may have my arms crossed because, let’s face it, I’m not wearing a bra. Or, I’ll be holding a little one in front of me like a shield; don’t be surprised if I hand them to you and dash to my room for a quick fix.
- Fatigue will be evident. You’ll notice the dark circles under my eyes, especially since I won’t be wearing any makeup.
- Toys? They’ll be everywhere.
- The scent of dirty diapers mixed with apple cinnamon air freshener will greet you. You might arrive right after a diaper disaster, or I could be on the hunt for my kid who has hidden and had an “accident.” It’s one of the less glamorous aspects of parenting—sorry about that!
- The floor? It’s probably sticky. Because toddlers.
- Someone will definitely be crying; there’s a 50/50 chance it’ll be me.
- My kids will cling to you as if you’re a long-lost friend rather than a visitor.
- There will be something bubbling away in my slow cooker. Without it, we might just starve.
- You might notice a load of laundry in the washer that I’ve had to rewash every morning for three days. How does that even happen? I feel like I’m perpetually doing laundry.
- You’ll also find a pile of laundry on the couch that I’ve attempted to fold at least once daily for the last three days. Thanks, toddlers!
- The couch will likely not be a viable seating option. Between the unfolded laundry and my little ones jumping around yelling “Cannonball,” good luck finding a spot.
- I’ll have my kids showcase their latest accomplishments. I’m so proud of them, and I’ll expect you to at least pretend to be impressed.
- Initially, I may feel a bit embarrassed, but seeing you will bring me joy. I could really use a chat with someone who’s closer to my height.
- I’ll be even more thrilled if you come bearing coffee. An iced raspberry white mocha would totally hit the spot.
- I might leave you with my kids for a moment while I sneak away. Don’t worry—I’ll return with clean, flower-scented hair, moisturized skin, and a renewed outlook on life.
