Mommy

You know you’re a mom when:
~you can no longer wear black, for fear of massive spit up marks

~you sing “Dora Dora Dora the Explorer” in the shower.

~play dates have taken over your life!

~you sing to the Elmo CD that has playing over and over again

~you can’t wait to hug your own kids after you see something troubling on the news.

~you use your finger to wipe the face of your child's nose and it's not gross to you anymore!

~your baby is sick down your front. It misses your t-shirt and trickles down your chest and you are actually happy - because now it saves you having to rake around trying to find anything remotely keen to wear.

~you reach into your pocket and pull out a crayon, a matchbox car and a dirty sock.

~you have no issues sniffing another person’s butt for a poopie diaper.

~you think yourself is lucky to get out of the house without visible a spit up stain

~a night on the town means taking the kids out past 6 pm.

~a packet of crisps (chips), and a chocolate bar is considered a hearty breakfast.

~you count the days until your next girl’s night.~

~your purse contains packages of Pepperage farm goldfish, a juice box, assorted wrappers and a binky

~you give up your cool car for a minivan, and within a few weeks, you really start to like the van, and use phrases like “It’s just so convenient.” And you really mean it. (That was for you Steph Ross!)

~you ask where “the potty” is.. …you’d rather listen to your 6 year old’s music than your own.

~when you walk into another room in your house to get something and by the time you get there you forget what you were going to get.

I had such a wonderful Mothers Day, thank you for everyone who was a part of it! Tony spoiled me all weekend long, I am truly that luckiest wife and mother out there.

Motherhood is such a great blessing and a challenge all bundle into one! I know having hard days make the good ones even better~ how can you not love that smiley face and squinted eyes, I cant stay mad at her too long! Callie is such a miracle and I love every moment I get with her.

Callie, thank you for teaching me so many wonderful things, that no one has ever taught me before....I know there will be many more NEW (good and bad) experiences with you to come, and I look forward to them all! Thank you for making me a better person! I love you more then you will ever know.
