A Mother's Day Story

Here's a quick little two-part story for Mother's Day.

Part One:

I opened the door to the boy's room to see if he had any dishes in there as I was getting ready to do all the dishes.  You know how boys are.  I turned the light on and Tally, our fat lady cat, jumped out from behind the window curtain, scaring the crap out me.  I jumped and screamed.  And she went tearing out of the room just as fast as her fat little butt could waddle.  

He'd left for work a few hours ago so the poor little thing must have been in there the whole time.

Part Two:

The boy only had one coffee cup in his room.  I, on the other hand, had 3 cups and 1 glass on the coffee table, 1 cup and 1 glass on the desk, and 1 cup in the laundry room.  

I'm not doing this Mom thing right.
