I like being a mom.
But can I have a life?
I mean I don't even know where my ipod is. I haven't seen it for three months.
I haven't finished a book in two months.
I am washing my hair twice a week.
Secrets:
I started throwing away my children's most annoying toys. Anything that my one-year old could fit entirely in her mouth, trashed. Toys with a million pieces, hidden.
4 sign your pity:
before mikah was born I started picking up all the "chokables" i have a little tote for them. SHoe box size. Then, i thought it would be cute to put those small things into canning jars on a shelf- a little collection display- but if the kids want to play with them when she is napping they could break, so I switched to plastic jars (peanut butter) and it looks cute on Jakes dresser to have the little collections. Now, if he would only put the toys back - i think if he leaves them out once I will put them away forever! I'm still finding chokesize rubber frogs in Mikah's mouth!
Ahhh.. the joys of parenthood! I remember those days. But in all honesty, Sarah, I think you are a wonderful mother and do so well. We all have our moments and are not perfect and wonder what the heck did I get myself into, but if we really stop and think of life without our little ones we all wouldn't have any other way. Doris and I would love to watch the kids when you need a "break" sometimes. Use us and take advantage of it. I think you would love it and Doris and I would love it. A win-win all around. Love you.

welcome to being a stay at home mom! last week i hid cora's book of mother goose. it's like 120 pages and she wanted to read them all all day long!!
Yes, yes, yes! Those are all things we do as mothers. I am lucky to have uninterrupted bathroom breaks, forget about showers and clean hair!! Oh, and hiding stuff keeps sanity and your kids don't really know.
