Going Crazy

My ramblings tonight stem from a status message on Facebook, reading something along the lines of "I think I just might go crazy today!" My comment was, "I've been there for a few days now... it's not so bad, just have to learn to enjoy the white padded walls!" (little did you know, Rachel, that you would be the inspiration for my blog!) So as I re-read it tonight, I got to thinking.... (probably a bad idea) how many of us moms think on a regular basis that we might go crazy? I'm guessing the number is right around 100%. But as I smiled at my comment, I began to ponder, would it really be so bad going crazy, and if not, what would make going crazy such a possible option. So, I have begun to compile a list of Pro-Reasons For Going Crazy!

1. Someone would be changing your diapers, for a change!

2. Everything would be white, tidy, and neat.

3. No more millions of loads of laundry each day.

4. When you drilled or spilled your food, you wouldn't be required to wipe it up.

5. No one will blink twice when your voice takes a higher pitch and you start talking "baby talk."

6. You are so used to being around children all day that life will not seem as if it has changed at all... you can even have the same conversations.

7. When you repeat yourself over and over again, people will just smile and nod.

8. You'll be put to bed at a regular bedtime and may even be given a sleeping pill so you don't wake up until morning!

9. Your roommate (pre-crazy state, this would be your spouse) will be just as crazy as you and won't think anything of your off the wall remarks.

and finally....

10. You get to throw a fit and your food on the floor when what is being served is not something you enjoy.

So really, stay-at-home mom's..... would it be so terrible to go crazy? I'm thinking, probably not. =)
