We could not help but laugh and nod as she recalled her morning through a Facebook post.
She started it by saying: "My apologies for not being around much this week."
And little did we know how it was going to unfold...
A dog needing full time care, a sock that almost burnt down the house and a dead squirrel were all part and parcel of her typical morning.
Describing her son's sock that got caught on a light fixture and almost set the house on fire, Tara effortlessly makes us laugh. She describes the event by saying:
"I started getting panicky so I shook Garrett awake while low key screaming 'WAKE UP SOMETHING IS ON FIRE BUT I CANT FIND WHAT IT IS AND WE'RE ALL ABOUT TO DIE I THINK!' He was all 'What now?' And I was 'B**CH SOMETHING IS BURNING IN THIS HOUSE AND THERE ARE SIX KIDS AND A HOBBLED DOG AND WE ALL NEED TO ESCAPE RIGHT NOW PUT ON YOUR PANTS AND HELP ME NOT DIE WOULD YOU?' So he was moving at a glacier's pace although he could smell the burning whatever as well."
Thankfully however, the house did not burn down and the mom-of-six explains how she saved the day. She said:
"And while I'm standing in a chair and using one of Marigold's dolls- which now has a disfigured, melty head because it's what I used to push the flaming gym sock off of the bulb and onto the floor, Leo just sheepishly shrugged his shoulders and said 'Sock Fire' would be a cool band name.'"You can read the entire post here which is guaranteed to make you nod and think "yep, that's the joys of being a mom."
