7 Disturbing Habits

I get emails, daily it seems, from Babycenter.com. Usually, I just delete them after reading the title but today I was intrigued by the 7 disturbing toddler habits title. I was fully aware that the 2 toddlers in my household probably did all 7 of them. I even assumed that our household may be over achievers and could add, at least 7 more to the list.

A Boy And His Puppy

I never had a “thing” growing up that I had to have with me at all times. Not a blanket, a doll or a pacifier.

You Know You’re A Mom When…..

  • Shopping for more “stylish” clothes means unripped and unstained sweats and sweatshirts.
  • You tell your hairdresser not to cut your hair because you like the look of a long pony tail.
  • You eat lunch at 10:30am because you had breakfast 5 hours ago!
  • You have more wine in your shopping cart than food.
  • You get excited when the mail gets here, because it gives you something to do.
  • You have kids show theme songs in your head all day and night.
  • You know what poop tastes like.
  • You say that you have to go “potty” even when the kids aren’t around.
  • Every purse that you look to buy seems too small.
  • “Me time” consists of cleaning the kitchen floor while your husband takes the kids upstairs for baths.
  • You have said, “do that one more time and you are going to time out,” atleast 5 times before noon.
  • You stopped having time to shave above the knee.
  • You feel more normal when someone else’s kid has a break down in public.
  • Taking a bath seems too exhausting since you would have to take the 20 animals and squeaky toys out first.
  • You get excited for kid free events because others get to see what you are actually “supposed” to look like.
  • You are asked daily, “Mommy, is that water or alcohol?”
  • All you want is time to your self but the moment you have it you miss your kids.
  • You start a blog so that you can air out your dirty laundry!
and…
  • You go on a much needed vacation with your husband and end up watching home movies of the kids when you get there.

Aim High, Class of 2025

Last night after preschool graduation, I excitedly looked through the packet of questions that Chase had answered. When I got to the part where he was asked what he wanted to be when he grew up I chuckled a little. Would he say a super hero or pirate since that is his latest obsession? Maybe his answer would be a farmer because of his love of animals or doctor since he likes to help people. Nope…..this is what he said, Continue Reading...
