Hit that snooze button. Go on, do it again. You’ve earned that extra sleep! Tomorrow is another chance to tackle your fitness goals. When you finally roll out of bed, crank up your favorite anthem and soak in those vibes for a solid three minutes. Belt it out with your hairbrush if you feel like it. Then, shake it off and get moving.

Look at that mountain of laundry. Just let it be for now. Bills? Don’t even glance at them. And checking your bank balance? Nah, you’re better off not knowing! Go wake up those little ones. If they groan, “I don’t want to go to school!” play the single parent card. A little guilt can work wonders. Remember the classic joke? “How many Jewish mothers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?” “None. That’s okay, I’ll sit in the dark.” Channel that energy.

Time to whip up those lunches! Sorry, you can’t skip this part. Lunchables don’t count—they’re basically a health hazard. But hey, if you’re racing against the clock at work, you could toss in some leftover marshmallows from last winter. Your kids will think you’re a hero! Breakfast sitting down? That’s a laugh—don’t hold your breath until at least 2024.

Walk both the dog and the kid to school at the same time, but don’t mix them up! Your child gets dropped off, and the dog gets schooled if he doesn’t do his business. Hurry up! You’re running late. No time for dry cleaning; the smell isn’t that bad.

Seriously, take a breather right now. It’s fun, I promise!

When the school nurse calls to say your child has lice and needs to be picked up, find it funny—then apologize profusely. You’re on a business trip in Tanzania, okay? Just rustle a candy wrapper or something to sell it.

Master the art of deception. Tell your boss you have a meeting when you leave early to pick up your kid. Let the school know your commute was miserable when you arrive late. And reassure your kids, who are the last to be picked up, that you’ll make it up to them someday.

On Monday, cook enough chicken to last the week. By Thursday, when your kids are begging for “anything but chicken,” remind them how fortunate they are to have food while others in Africa are starving. They’ll roll their eyes, but don’t worry—they’ll still be posting goofy dinner selfies on Snapchat. And honestly, don’t even try to understand Snapchat; it’s a whole other world.

Those dishes in the sink? The little one needs to be tucked in. You have a choice: kid or dishes. Just say screw it. Blast some music and have a dance party instead!

It’s 11:33 PM, and you’re just now tackling emails? Seriously? Go to bed! Those fingers can be put to better use.
