Digital Mothering

We've hit an all time lazy.

You know how I'm so pregnant that I can't get off the couch? Hanging out on the couch gives me lots of time to devise new ways of making sure I never have to get off the couch again. At least until the baby is born.

My newest strategy involves a cool little invention called a digital camera. Yesterday I asked Victor to clean up the front entryway and Persistence to clean up the bathroom. Instead of getting up to check the rooms when they were done like a good Mother is supposed to do, I had them take photos. Then we looked at the photos together and went over each spot they missed. You know, the toys and clutter that are invisible to everyone but Mom?

All clean! The kids had fun with the photos and I didn't have to get up! Ingenious or lazy? You decide.

I just realized though that this plan isn't fool proof. I mean, look who they're related to. What's to stop them from kicking their dirty underwear out of the way while they take the shot? I wouldn't put it past the lazy little trouble makers.

I would have to forgive them though considering my ten year old made me pancakes for breakfast, bacon and eggs for lunch, a spaghetti dinner and my eight year old baked strawberry shortcake for dessert. I can't wait to find out what's on the menu for tomorrow. Am I spoiled or what???
