10 things i only do because i'm a mom

1. wake up before noon on saturdays. 7am to be precise.
2. sing the national anthem opera style in an attempt to keep a 2ft tall person entertained while he is sitting in his bouncer watching me cook dinner
3. take 30min to get ready to leave the house to run 1 errand
4. avoid places without a drivethrough - subway, chipotle, 7-11 ( i miss you slurpees!), other convenience stores, etc
5. come into contact with someone else's nasty bodily fluids...vomit, snot, poo - you name it.
6. work part-time.
7. wake up at midnite and 3am to give someone a snack...every nite for the past 7 months.
8. get annoyed at people who park in the "customer with child" reserved parking spots when, in fact, they do not have a child accompanying them
9. read the same book 5x in a row...in 5 minutes
10. sneak in and watch someone sleep because they are the most adorable little dude in the world!

  2. Now you know why this mommy still loves and dotes on her 30 year old son. And why she can't get enough comments from Sharon and pictures of Miles. I live this life from afar.

  3. My songs were I heard the crash on the highway, Teen Angel and The lion sleeps tonight. He didn't have a jumper so my little angel rode my hip from the time I picked him up from church nursery each day un til supper, bath, then bed. Yes he was quite spoiled and I loved it. As for bodily fluids etc. one morning when miles is standing in his crib calling for you, he will proudly present a horrible suprize. Keep the crib AWAY from the wall.
