If you hand a mom a snooze button, you can bet she’s going to hit it.
Once she hits the snooze button, she’ll end up running late. And when she’s late, breakfast will consist of granola bars for the kids. Those granola bars? They’ll inevitably leave a trail of crumbs in the car on the way to school.
When those crumbs end up scattered throughout the car, mom will find herself facing the daunting task of tidying up. But let’s be real—cleaning the car is not high on her priority list. It’s a minivan, not a luxury vehicle, and those crumbs have practically set up camp. “Welcome home, crumbs!” she might say, as they mingle with the stale french fries and that mysterious sticky substance in the cup holder.
If a mom were to clean up every crumb from the chaos of her kids’ snacks, she’d need to muster some serious motivation. The truth is, she’s too exhausted to care. Since the day the doctor shouted “Push!” and she shot her partner a look that could kill, sleep has been a distant memory.
Imagine if she had been able to breathe through that experience like some sort of superhero. Not the iconic comic book figure in a spandex suit, but rather a relatable Wonder Woman rocking jeans and a comfy tee, ready to tackle the school run, grocery shopping, or even the work grind to afford more granola bars. She’d probably save her remaining energy for the moment her child hops off the bus, frantically announcing a surprise project that he forgot to mention earlier in the week.
Mom would stay up late, armed with a blow dryer to finish that volcano project that her son didn’t complete. Once that’s done, she might decide to tackle another task—like cleaning, packing lunches, or hunting for matching socks. Or maybe she’ll just pour herself another glass of wine (because after drying a volcano, she deserves it) and binge-watch her favorite shows, especially since those socks seem to have made a habit of going solo.
If she can’t find any matching socks, she’ll likely try to get some shut-eye, but instead, she’ll end up tossing and turning until the clock strikes midnight. Even then, her mind will race with thoughts of permission slips to sign and checks to write. And wait, what’s that smell? Oh, right—how long has that load of laundry been sitting there?
After stumbling into the kitchen to locate her checkbook or creeping into the laundry room to investigate the source of that odor, if she still has any energy left, she’ll end up scrolling on her phone until the wee hours of the morning. And guess what? If she stays up too late, the next morning will surely start with her hitting that snooze button all over again.
