Time for me to fly

There comes a time in a woman's life where she must realize her role in this ever changing world in which we live in.

One of mine happens to be a mom/mother/mum...which ever you prefer. Although here in my home, I am always called momma....The only time my ten year does not call me Momma is when his friends are here, or he is calling me from school.

Then I am Mom...I sometimes don't answer to it, because I am never called Mom..That doesn't even sound familiar to me. So when my kid is showing off to his buddies and hollers

Hey Mom, my buddies and need more Bud Light, could u be a doll and bring some down for us?

I don't respond because I don't know who mom is.

Not my fault.

That would be kinda like someone yelling..

Hey Jill, come here..

when clearly your name is Martha.

You don't answer, because holy crap, your not Jill and you sure as heck aint mom.

Moms are old...Hell, my mother is called Mom...she is almost 50.

I don't expect to be called mom until my kids are sporting pubic hair and needing tampons or um...wallets.

It is kind of like some woman not liking to be called Mam.

Mom just sounds old....and even though I am 32, I don't fancy myself being old.

So son, please stop calling me mom.

Call me Momma, Mommy, Ma, Mother, your hiness...whatever, just stop with the Mom business, its giving me wrinkles. Thank You.

The Mang,

My son for the last few morning will say to me.

gosh, I am kinda gassy this morning

What kid says that?

and then he proceeds to let them rip.

The Boy needs an ass plug.

My nice neat homestead is missing a few necessities today.

Garbage bags and soap for my dishwasher.

Ok, now instead of running to the local grocery establishment, I head for the laundry room and grab my lawn and leaf bags.

Sure I have black bag hanging out the sides of my garbage can, but dang it, I could fit a whole human body in there.

And as for the dishwasher, well...Right now I am running it with no soap...I figure the hot scalding water should get all the germs off.

Whatever residue is left, I can wipe with a Bounty paper towel.

See these are things a Mom would not do.

A mom would run out and buy the needed equipment for such things.

A momma on the other, makes due with what she has.

I mean tonight I will send Ole Shaky out to buy my Downy Fabric softer, nice white Glade trash bags, I love the ones that grip to the basket, those are the ones I buy..try em, they are all that and a bag of chips, and then some Cascade with Bleach tablets for my dishwasher.

So its not like I am a complete waste of flesh.




oh and I won my appeal...yeehaw bitches!!!!!

Awww Mom, growing old ain't so bad.

What? You're 32?? Geeezus, I didn't know they made women as old as you!

By the way, I'm first dammit. Do I get an award or something?

eyes_only4him said...

Slick,
your award is a kick in the sack for ONE calling me mom and B calling me old!

Monogram Queen said...

Somehow I knew you'd win that appeal. Congratulations!

Sandi said...

CONGRATS on your appeal! And thanks for the hot water tip. I usually just throw in any kind of soap that is sudsy; dove bar, dog shampoo, my very expensive face soap. You know, whatever. I'll try your trick next.

eyes_only4him said...

Patti,
thanks, I was sure as hell hoping I would win;)

Sandi,
well, I wouldnt call it a tip, rather just lazy on my part..haha

dog shampoo, I have tons of that...

*thinking it might just work*

Tom said...

When I was a kid we called a neighbor's mom "lefty" she thought it was funny. She was left handed and would hit fungos to us.
I always called mom "mum" (My Boston accent).
Very happy for you!!!!!!

Haphazardkat said...

hurrahhhh on winning you appeal! :D

...love the bags that grip the sides.

...I'm called Momma too :)

Halfmexican Mama said...

I HATE BEING CALLED MOTHER!!
Next time u run out of dishwasher detergent...use one quarter cup of baking soda...if you ever need a substitute for anything just gimme a holla! Im the queen of Substitutes!! Hard to believe I havent seen you in the flesh for 2 months now...where the hell does the time go?? Wait getting off on a different tangent here. sorry. my bad.

just a kat said...

lurker...first time poster..the WINNING that appeal made me post! YEAH GIRL!!! Way to go!!
For the record, I am called mommy by my 13 yo girl. Unless we are in public or basketball practice, at which point I am referred to as Sid. Why Sid, you ask? Sid the sloth, from Ice Age, of course. I referred to my mom as Ma, unless we were in a crowd and then she was Moo - it worked. Calling your dear mom something OTHER than what everyone else is calling theirs really makes you stand out. And it proves yet another point: Weirdness IS genetic.

Halfmexican Mama said...

I was just reading your reply to Slick...and if I told ya once Ill tell you again! 2 comes after one, NOT B!

eyes_only4him said...

Tom,
mum is kinda British..u sure your not a Prince or something?

Kat,
thanks..

and those bags kick ass;)

HMM,
baking soda huh?...your like my little Mrs Clean..

Lil o Me,
well thanks for posting!

Now I think Syd is pretty dang funny, I love that movie..I do think girls will call moms momma or mommy until they get a boyfreind..but boys, the cut off is when they make freinds...lil pissers.

please post again..and thats an order damnit.


HMM,
well u better come here and learn me how to talk.

Halfmexican Mama said...

Unknown said...

Patricia Heaton's book mentions that kind of holler for "Moooom" just before they puke. Sorry, this just reminded me of the different Mom enunciations. :)

Humincat said...

The Boy needs an ass plug.-Do you realize how many weirdo's you are going to attract with that??? And YEEEHAAAAA on your win! And I always called my mom "MOM", and it does come across kind of like "Mary" and puts the child on a similar level as the parent, but to be honest, my kids could call me Slick Rick or Young Yolanda Yorgenson (from Dr. Suess' ABC book) and my heart would still flip. Unless they call me by my first name. That may get their mouths washed out with soap and all their Christmas presents returned to the Yard Sale next door.

Fantastagirl said...

So glad you won your appeal - you rock especially for an old woman...

*DUCKS*

eyes_only4him said...

Bradley,
well, if u insist.

MM,
I need to read her book, still dont like being called mom though, makes me feel old.

Humincat,
I rather fancy Yolanda...they can call me that..

Fantstagirl,
thanks....and u better watch your mouth;)

Bella said...

Whoo hoo! Glad you won your appeal.

Hope you have been well, and keeping out of mischief.
I hope to get back to regular blogging again, now.
Take care, and have a great weekend.

Anonymous said...

The font you're using just makes it look like I typed some bad shit...I'd never do that!

Besides, you mispelled "lick". It doesn't start with a "K". ;)

Congrats on winning your appeal!

Cliff said...

You made me read thru all that before you lay the best line on me? Great news. Congrats!!

Anonymous said...

I use hefty "grippers" and there you go. don't be a sassin me on that

Me said...

I hate it when Big Sissy calls me "Mudder", "Mommy", "Mother" or anything other than "Momma". I'm Momma, plain and simple :)

Me said...

Oh and congrats on the appeal :)

Anonymous said...

I've not commented in a few weeks and there's a hearing?!?! Sheesh. :) I've missed out on so much. I guess I will have to catch up a bit. I don't mind them calling me "Mom". The problem that I have is the frequency in which they are always calling my name. Mom MOM Mom Mommy Mom . . . it never stops! :)

MamaMichelsBabies said...

COngrats on winning the appeal, now.. if you could have seen their faces when they were told that you won it, that would have been priceless.

Mine still call me Mama... Mom sounds so damn formal I hate it. Mother is what my oldest calls me when I am embarrassing him, which happens often. Hehe.

eyes_only4him said...

Slick,
OK, I dont even know what to say to that..Me and my damn spelling errors;)

Cliff,
well it was a last minute add, sorry for the torture;)

Dozer,
