10 Signs the End of the World is Near

by Jennifer on June 28, 2010

10. When doing laundry, I won’t have to distinguish between four different piles of my husband’s clothes on the floor (Are these pants to wear again?  Was this shirt ever put away? Is this just the spot where he got undressed?).

9. My son will eat a vegetable.

8. We will add to our emergency savings fund two months in a row instead of depleting it.

7. We will go longer than a month and a half without bringing one of the kids to the doctor.

6.  I will go away from the kids for more than four hours and not have a baby and/or appendix removed.

5. We will attempt to sell a house, and it will sell in a reasonable amount of time.

4. I will get my hair trimmed while it still resembles the previous haircut.

3. We will have a child who does not try to climb out of her crib prior to 18-months of age, thus resulting in no need for a toddler bed before she is emotionally ready for a toddler bed, nor giving up naps and bedtime due to the freedom no child that small should have.

2. Our son will not give his sister her yearly haircut, always on the right side of her head, thus sparing her from the half-mullet look she has sported for the majority of her almost three years of life.

1. A trumpet will sound, and Jesus will descend from heaven on the clouds.

This list is what my mind does while putting away laundry!  For more top ten fun, visit ohamanda.com .

I laughed so hard (while drinking my hot coffee) especially thinking of Caleb cutting Hannah Grace's hair. Does Hannah think he knows how to cut hair?
So off to work i go, hi ho, with swollen bottom lip to match my swollen left eye.
Thanks for the laughs. Love you,
Mom ♥

It's always more fun to read someone else's antics!! I think #6 is my favorite – for a while the only time I was away from my children was to give birth to another one!

I'm definitely ready for a get-away, but I'm also a little afraid of what I'll find when I come home!

LOVE #6&7.. we had a three week strech before where we had 15 doc appts… and were sharing a car at this time. So waking up at 530 to get everyone ready and out the door to get Eric to work on time *sigh*
Ha, and I joke whenever I go to the hospital that it's a "vacation" Free food, roomservice, cable. no diapers. What more can you ask for? ;)

Yes! And I would joke about how I loved the anesthesia for all my procedures/surgeries–it was the first time I had uninterrupted sleep! ;)

Hopefully the first 9 you listed actually happened…or WILL actually happen!

Sometimes I think the last one I listed will happen before the first nine! Chloe still has time to prove that she won't climb out of her crib, but I'm not hopeful on that one, either. :)

Suggestion for number 10. Give husband his own room and puit washer and
dryer in it. Eventually he will have to move piles either into the washer or into the
closet to get out of the room. When that happens, give him a biscuit and tell him
how proud you are of him and if he does it for three more months, you will take
the dryer out of the room If he successfully brings cloths from bedroom to dryer
and back into drawers and closet, you can then remove the washer. See how easy it is. Of course this is if can be done before Jesus returns.
Love
your neat freak Father.

If I can't laugh about my life sometimes, then I'd have to cry. I think laughing is the better alternative!

Hilarious! The haircut made me laugh out loud. Oh my!

The poor child–my prayer is that she will have long and beautiful (or at least symmetrical) hair by the time she starts kindergarten.

FUNNY list! Love the image of the mullet (wouldn't it be great if those would all go away before The End)!? ;)

Your list totally cracked me up! My husband leaves piles of clothes everywhere too. It drives me NUTS!
