Happy Mother's Day!

I have had the joy and privilege of being a mom for over 4 years now,
here are a few things I have learned.

*****************************************************

• Pre-children don't ever be the person who says: "My child will never _______ (fill in the blank)" because mostly your child will end up doing just that.

• I will not feel guilty about allowing my kids to watch t.v. ...they are not in school and they are awake on average 14 hours out of the day.

• Parenting is truly the art of distraction... distracting them out of a fit, distracting them away from the toy isle, away for the soda isle, away from the candy isle...distracting them so they don't cry or talk during church.

• I am so happy both my kids love books.

• I used to really read food labels, now if it contains any amount of vitamin C it is edible, regardless of the sugar content :)
  

• I will never be okay with vomit.

• Little boys will pee on you, and little girls will color for hours.
  

• I have become an expert at fishing out small objects from tiny mouths

• My kids don't look like me, at all.
  

• Coffee is now a major food group in my life.

• I dread kindergarten, I dread college, and I dread the day they will move out forever.

• 12 hours sleep by 12 weeks old is the best book I have ever read, & I tell everyone about it.

• Sometimes I find my self watching the end of a cartoon or kids show, even when there are no longer children in the room.
  

• I pray daily for their lives and thank God for the blessings he has given me.
  

• I have learned never to ask people when they are going to have babies, you might not really know how painful that question can be.

• My kids only get one childhood and it is my job to make sure it is a good one filled with love, a million hugs a day, and tons of sticky faced kisses.
