I am a MOM!!!

I am a MOM!!!

  • Some days I feel like I'M the one that should be in time-out!
  • I think Mother's Day Out was one of the greatest inventions ever!
  • I desperately need a tan!
  • I desperately need to exercise!
  • I give kisses that make bo-bos all better!
  • I'm lucky to make it out the door most days!
  • I sometimes eat lunch at 3 pm because that's when I got around to it!
  • I bribe my child with dessert!
  • I LIVE for naptime!!! (my child's, and if lucky- my own!)
  • I have a song, rhyme, or poem for any topic imaginable!
  • I am a professional at giving people the "I'm so sorry my child is screaming in the grocery store" look!
  • And I'm also good at the "Don't worry- my child screams in the grocery store too" look for other discouraged mothers!
  • I find it very hard to watch TV shows or see those magazine ads about children with disabilities!
  • I'm still trying to figure out where my boobs went- if you see them, give me a call!
  • Daddy coming home early is music to my ears!
  • I rarely get through a phone conversation without disciplining my child!
  • I don't wash my hair every day (I used to swear I would NEVER do this!).
  • I don't wear makeup every day (two days in a row is a record!).
  • My typical day is a cycle of laundry, dishes, diapers, cleaning...and it just keeps going and going and going!
  • I hear the word "Mommy" about 5000 times a day! (Luckily I was used to hearing Mrs. Doyal about 5000 times a day so that got me prepared)
  • I constantly say the words "no," "come here," "don't touch that," "in a minute," "you're getting on my nerves," and all of those other things you're not supposed to say too much!
  • I own a tankini!
  • I lick my fingers to wipe dirt off my child's face!
  • I almost died during childbirth, but would do it again in a heartbeat!
  • I'm a little too addicted to Facebook!
  • I love to peek in my little girl's room and just watch her playing or reading stories or singing songs!
  • I never realized how BIG my love could be for someone so LITTLE!

  1. I LOVE this!!!
    It's great getting to keep up with my girls' childhood friends, as they experience their own children's childhood.
    Thanks for sharing, Holly!
