We are only half way through summer here is suburbia and I have come to the realization that I could easily be replaced by a well timed tape recorder …or maybe a record with a couple of scratches in just the right places so once in a while it could get caught skipping!
Time for breakfast.
Hurry up a little please.
Did you brush your teeth?
Did you brush your hair?
Did you do a good job?
Oh Honey, let’s go do it again.
Yes Dear.
No Thank you Dear.
Go wash your face.
Pick up your clothes.
Who’s wet bathing suit is this?
No you can not have that.
How about milk instead.
Say Thank You.
You’re Welcome.
Wash your hands please.
Wash your hands please.
Wash your hands please.
Did you wash your hands?
What would you like for lunch?
What would you like for lunch?
Use your fork please.
Who wants to go outside?
Did you grab the sunscreen?
Will someone let the Dog out please?
Can no one but me hear the dog??
The Dog needs to come in now!
Girls, someone left the TV on.
Did anyone feed our fish today?
Do you need to use the washroom before we go?
How about you just try?
Yes I do need a hug.
Turn off the lights please.
Time for dinner.
Wash your hands.
Yes I know you had a shower only yesterday, but you have to have one today too.
Time for bed.
Pj’s on.
Good night girls.
I love you.
I love you.
Good night girls.
Girls GOOD NIGHT.
I love you.
If I taped myself today, I bet tomorrow, I could just press play.

Hi there…found your blog after you commented on mine. Yours is GREAT! And oh, how I will laugh the next time I find myself repeating for the millionth time “Did you wash your hands?” (On occasion, I ask so many times that my oldest will say, “yeah, mom…smell them!”)
Tami says
LOL, I’m going to do that, record myself and just constantly leave it on REPEAT! LOVED YOUR POST!
blueviolet says
You sure nailed it!
becca says
omg… i was so thinking this the other day! I live in “Groundhogs day” over here too. Thanks for finding my blog and checking it out! I am glad I now found yours!
Courtney Kirkland says
Love this post! I imagine all of usu mothers…and wives…are the same way. Seems as if we find ourselves repeating the same things endlessly. Random Question…where did you get your font for you post titles, etc. And how did you install them?
LZ @ My Messy Paradise says
Just add “Take your hands off your sister” and “She doesn’t like you grabbing her like that” and I’m right with you!
Missy says
Send me a copy! LOL
Brittany says
haha, love it! I teach 4th grade and I post signs up around my classroom (or I write assignments on the bored) and just point to them instead of saying the same thing a million times!
gaelikaa says
You are so right!
Working Mum says
Just add “Lean over your plate” and then send me a copy, please!
Lemonade Makin' Mama says
Oh man, we’ve all been there!! I think this is a great idea actually, I might have to give it a try! It would work really well at dinnertime.
Stacie's Madness says
ha, yes….this is spot on sista…spot on!
bluecottonmemory says
I’m always amazed at how old my kids are and I still have to remind them to brush their teeth!
I still say those things every day! Eat in the Kitchen is one of them, regardless of the age!
Too Many Hats says
LOL, I think I could do the same, even with teens I find myself saying many of the same things – I cannot wait until I don’t have to ask the 12 year old if his teeth are brushed and his deoderant on.
Busy Bee Suz says
True story here too. The same things over and over and over and over and over….
Very cute. Have a great day!
