Being a mom


I've been a mom for 3 years and 2 months.
That is definitely not long enough to be giving any advice on the subject of motherhood.
But, in my short time as a mom I have learned a thing or two.
::You get use to getting peed on, spit up on, the smell of poo, and even having poo touch your hands::
::My shirt will no longer ever be clean. It is okay to have snot, baby food, and remnants from dirty hands on my shirt::
::It's okay to feel like nap time is the best time of day::
::Sunday is no longer a day of rest. Fighting my kids through three hours of church often results in a harder workout than gym time::
::Days when I don't have to go anywhere are heaven sent::
::I can get more enjoyment from watching a Disney movie in the middle of the day with my two little girls than I ever thought possible::
::Peanut Butter Sandwiches are a great lunch::
::Every child has their own time table to develop::
::Mother's intuition is REAL::
::It's okay not to shower some days::
::A runny nose doesn't ruin a kiss from my kids::
::A diaper bag can never have enough toys or snacks in it::
::Playing at the park makes everyone happy::
What have YOU learned?

Love this. I agree with all of it! You've updated a lot since that last time I checked so here are some of my comments. Wohoo to your dad! That is just great! I will have to tell my dad. He will be so excited. He has been so worried about your dads deterioting health he'll be so happy to hear the good news (if he hasn't already) That is awesome about your job! I'm glad you love it. If you love your job it makes it a little easier when you have to leave your kiddo. Plus you get school paid for?? How awesome is that!!! Oh and as for Cooper making hurtful comments.... Peyton has done that a few times and I learned that she was picking up some of it from one of her friends. So as mean as I am I won't let Peyton play with her anymore. I've also noticed she's picked it up from some cartoons so now I'm being very careful on what she watches. Don't take offense. They are only 3 and don't even understand what they are saying really. I think they just hear it somewhere and repeat it when they don't get something they want. Well I I'm probably typing too much but it was soo good to hear your updates!
