24 Hours With The 21st Century SAHM

8 Questions & Answers that will explain everything. Why 8? Because that’s all we had time for.

Karen Johnson is a sarcastic and often swear-y writer at The 21st Century SAHM. She is also assistant editor at Sammiches and Psych Meds and has had her rants featured on sites such as Babble and Scary Mommy. She’s a bacon-loving, beer and wine drinking, mini-van driving, helicopter mom of 3 who whines about motherhood but obsesses over her kids.

Karen Johnson of The 21st Century SAHM, you have 24 Hours To Live! (And by live, we mean you somehow finagled to get away and get 24 hours of kid-free, no responsibilities, me-time!)

You have 20 bucks in your pocket. What will you do with it? Buy Doritos, a 6-pack of dark beer, and call a taxi to take me away.
What will you be wearing? Something comfortable (probably my “nice” yoga pants without stains.)
During this 24 hour period, you have to complete a challenge – Would You Rather eat chicken McNuggets for 1 full hour (no dipping sauce), OR, make out with a live chicken for 10 seconds? Why? Um, easy. Eat the nuggets. Because they are freaking delicious. WHO PICKS CHOICE #2??
What are the Top 5 things you’ll want to have with you? My phone, my phone charger (obviously), a book, my Doritos, and my beer.
What will you be drinking? See above. It might have pumpkin in it. Don’t hate. I’m on team pumpkin.
What Game Of Thrones character would you do, and why? I’ve never seen G of T. I know, I know. HOW HAVE I LIVED?
It’s hour 23. What will you do with your last hour? Get an expensive coffee (pumpkin spiced, obvs) if I have any of my $20 left, and walk around a book store or sit in a coffee shop. Lame, I know. But this is what motherhood does to a person.
How will this 24 hours have changed you? Helped me relax, remember that there is a world outside of my poop and pee filled SAHM life, and maybe allowed me to miss my kids. I don’t know though… 24 hours isn’t that long. Also, I am not sure how willing I’ll be go to home. Did I run out of money? And now I can’t take a taxi home? Oh shit. Guess I live at that quiet book store now. (Sad face emoji.)
