Have you ever caught your own self doing something? I mean that if you were someone else looking in at you, you'd probably shake your head saddly at the pathetic sight you were witnessing. Well yesterday was my day, since Muffin is well into the "feed myself" zone she is supplied with torn up bits of wheat toast, and balls of puffed baby cereal and even though she's gotten pretty good, small portions still end up lodged in the cracks of the highchair, down her shirt, and somehow mashed in her hair. These free roaming chunks of course fly free while she is being removed from the highchair, this is where the sadness comes in....
As these chunks of food (sometimes half chewed) are falling out I'm picking them up and eating them! Yes yes that's what I said, shoveling them into my mouth like some old starving city bird! I know at this point that motherhood isn't all grace and charm, but come on! This really is a new all time low! I'm constantly trying to convince Muffin NOT to put things in her mouth that she finds on the floor, oh well Muffin for the record Mommy's sorry for modeling bad behavior, but Mommy doesn't like to waste food!
That's my rationalization, and I'm sticking to it....
At least you're not like the mom on Oprah who admits to using one of her children's diapers in the car, rather than waking up the two sleeping kids and going inside the rest area bathroom. That's way worse than eating off the floor. Way worse.
