I\'m Summer, a mouthy, sarcastic bitch. I\'m passionate about natural birth, long term breastfeeding, and living naturally. I curse too much, love tattoos, and will some day be crushed to death by my book collection. I homeschool, dream of gardening, and swing to the left. 
If Only I used My Powers For Good Instead of Evil
So I’m standing at the dryer pulling clothes out, sticking some on hangers, and the rest into a pile to be folded later. And I’m wearing nothing but a green t-shirt and purple panties. Charming, I know.
Somewhere in all the hanging and tossing I pull out the pair of jeans I want to wear today. And I lay them across the back of the couch before diving back into the sorting and hanging and deciding what I’m tossing in the washer after I get the stuff from the washer into the dryer. ‘Causes I’m totes behind on laundry.
So somewhere in all of this I hear the boys fighting outside. I pop my head out the door and ask them to calm down. A couple minutes later, same thing. By the third time Trey is screaming hysterically because Evan looked at some rock that Trey thought about playing with two weeks ago and possibly parked an air molecule on. Meanwhile Saffron is up from her nap and screaming her head off unhappy.
And there’s still laundry to put away.
Frustrated and tired I march to the front door, swing it wide open, and shout as loud as I can at the boys to leave each other alone or else they’re coming inside and cleaning their room and I mean it this time.
And standing on my front porch is a very frightened and confused looking mailman, about 4 inches from my face and holding an envelope in his outstretched hand.
Did I mention I’m still not wearing pants? Yeah, that dawned on me about five seconds too late.
I bet that mailman will be quieter from now on. Hmph!
Haha! Oh..it is ok to laugh,right?

That is totally the kind of stuff that drives me nuts. I bet my kids know it,too.

Oh, man. This is like my worst nightmare and the funniest thing I’ve ever heard all rolled into one. I feel your pain, is all I can say.

Or perhaps the mailman will be much louder in the future to alert you of his arrival!
(P.S. I thought of you the other day. I was in the ER and had to take off my pants and put on a robe. I was at first embarrassed that my legs were insanely hairy, and then I thought of the time you wrote something about how having hairy legs never killed anyone and I felt better. So thanks!)

You’re very welcome Sally! It’s so normal to me now that i don’t even think about it, but I haven’t shaved my legs in maybe 3 years now. So add that visual detail into the story. LOL
Awesome. I can totally see myself doing the same thing.
Makes for a great blog though.
The mailman has probably had a lot of interesting views. lol It was hard to find where to make a comment on your blog. Happy IComWeLeave.
Laura´s last blog ..What Would Iva Messy Say?
That’s hilarious! Nice to know I’m not alone. One day I kept getting stares from the Sushi guy at Kroger I looked down and my top 3 buttons were undone. Nothing like a good peep show to get ya going in the morning.
