1. Sweeps dirt into one special corner of the house and lets it accumulate before cleaning it up.

10. Drives around with a package to mail for months on end.
11. Reads so many books out loud each day that she likes to mix it up by changing the plot midstream just to see if she can keep the continuity of the story even with her plot changes.

I think we might be long lost sisters. Really. =)
Lol! No, you are definitely NOT the only mama who does these things! Clothes on the line for a few days? Or until the next laundry cycle, or until I wear them again, or until the line is just too darn full to hold any more clothes...I relate to almost everything else you listed, too. Thanks for the laughs! :)
I also do #3 (we use tea tree oil on her) and #5, especially if she's sleeping. And #13, but only if it's off my floors even though said floors haven't been mopped since we bought this house and moved in in July. Shh! Don't tell anyone!
1, 4 (except she's 3 months), 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 14....glad to know it's not just me!
ROFL!!! Not the only mama at all! I can relate or could have related to every single line.
Thankfully the toddlers do grow up and eventually give you back your boobs, learn how to feed themselves real food, and eat off plates instead of the floor.
I would NEVER do any of those things. Gah.
