Mom Olympics

I'm going to start a list here...PLEASE comment with your own "events."

I've decided that moms everywhere should start our own form of the olympics with special events that only we could come up with. Things like...

1) How to sneak in a meal in 3 minutes or less while your toddler isn't looking (since everything on my plate is immeasureably better than what is on his plate - even if it's the same thing!)
2) Going to the bathroom in 15 seconds or less - this includes running to the bathroom without your toddler noticing that you've left the room.
3) Events for the car - When driving how to keep your hand on the steering wheel, eyes on the road and somehow turn into a human pretzel so that you can pick up a dropped sippy cup, toy or book. When not driving - how to entertain a screaming baby from the passenger seat (first mom to calm her child will win)
4) How to cook dinner with one hand - for the moms with toddlers who insist on watching everything that goes into the cooking pots.
5) In the fun in the laundry room category - how to remove grass stains, chocolate, mashed cheerios, vomit, markers, and crayon stains from clothing.
6) In the personal hygiene category two events: 1) how to shower (including shaving and washing of hair) in 2 minutes or less and 2) how to hold down a toddler for teeth brushing time.

Anyone have a game to add? :)
