So you think you want kids, do ya?

In the middle of the busy grocery story with the baby-girl:

She leans her head on my arm, looks up at me sweetly, and exclaims loudly

"Poor mommy has her period."

To all the pregnant women out there: THIS is your future.



:D

EVIDENTLY ...

screaming "I'll be your baby, Justin!" at the TV,
while the baby-girl is watching the Bieber movie, is embarrassing.

So I asked her what I could possibly know about embarrassing;

I walked around with baby-puke on my t-shirt for 6 months.

Overheard on the way home from school...

4th grader:               HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Crossing-guard:       I've been waiting all week to hear that!

4th grader:              How was I supposed to predict your feelings???

was supposed to be on Tooth Fairy duty ...

AGAIN last night. 

Totally forgot ... and had to have a long conversation with the baby-girl this morning, explaining the productive inefficiency of non-profit organizations.

After I took a shower, I asked the baby-girl to put lotion on my back.

She said, “Um. Mommy? I think I should do your butt too!"

I asked why.

She exclaimed, “Because I have A LOT left on my hands.”

Psssssht. Whatever.

Twenty bucks says MY kid has a pink leash and tutu on it by Wednesday.

~

just yelled up the stairs ...

"Come get your DIRTY SOCKS out of the living room ... that's so GROSS!

And grab mine too, while you're at it."

:D

You know you're a mom when ...

the baby-girl has a clay-mask on and you still recognize the
"I'm tinkling in the tub" look on her face.

:)

I am only 7 inches taller than my 9 year old ...

Any minute now, I'm gonna lose the appearance of having control of the house.

What I got for Mother's Day ...

I got TWO cards, huge hugs, my face smothered with smooches and a lotta “I love you, mommy”s.

THEN, I was told there were no bowls clean for someone’s cereal.

AND THEN, I was given a note from the school that someone needs cupcakes for a fundraiser.

The day's still young! I bet I get MORE!

;)

<3

I'm wondering ...

Is it wrong to think the part of Mother’s Day that includes silent, still cartoon-watching is the best part of the day ... ?

(OK, OTHER than the hugs’n’kisses’n’presents’n’ blah blah blah)

;)

was at H&M with the baby-girl yesterday ...

Showed her a romper I thought was super cute & the look on the kid’s face said

“my mom is gonna make me wear something dumb” ... so I put it back.

And hence, the circle of abuse has once more been broken.

:D
