THIS is why parents never complete any tasks
Blogger Jordan Harrell had every intention of cleaning her kitchen. In fact, when she walked into the room that day her sole intention was to clean it.
But no matter how good her intention was, Jordan never completed her task. Why? Because she's a mum and has a million things to do at once.
Taking to her facebook page, the mum wrote an open letter to her husband that we can all relate to.
The letter was not an apology or a dig, it was just Jordan being frank about her day, highlighting exactly why she never gets anything done!
"First, I walked in to the kitchen with the sole intention of cleaning it. I picked up the hair brush and rubber bands off the kitchen table and walked to the bathroom to put them in the drawer," she explained on her Facebook page.
"While in the bathroom I noticed a pile of towels on the floor that had been laying there, fermenting for several days, so I grabbed the towels and headed to the laundry room.
"Once there, I decided to go ahead and do a load since both hampers were spilling over and the room smelled like cat pee and B.O. had a baby. I cranked the dials on the washer, shut the lid, and headed back to the original job: the kitchen [sic]."
Continuing, Jordan explained that when she did go back into the kitchen he was confronted by Child B, who was feeling "hangry".
Child C's cape then fell off which needed to be mended right that second.
A quick look at the oven clock told Jordan that she needed to collect Child A from school.
"Then, I headed back to the computer to … what was I going to do? Fifteen minutes of Facebook later, I shut the computer.," the mum-of-three wrote.
"Because, of course, I was in the middle of cleaning the kitchen.
"I walked into the kitchen only to realise the oven clock showed it was time to pick up Child A from school.
"So, no. It's not clean. Nothing is ever clean. My life is just a constant state of doing and never completing.
"I just thought I'd let you know the situation, so you won't ask about the state of the kitchen.
"Not that you ever would."
Oh how we can relate to this post!
