1. You will NEVER go pee alone again.
2. Kids start asking "Why?" really, really young.
3. There is not enough Kleenex in this world to catch snot.
4. Babies can vomit a REALLY long ways, whilst one is driving.
5. Throw up is hard to get out of your car. (No, I didn't learn this in my youth.)
6. The magic of your kids saying, "I love you Mommy." can't be matched by anything.
7. I need less sleep than ever.
And finally.....I have lost about 85 pounds.

I just smiled the whole way through this. The womanchild is 15, and I still don't get the bathroom to myself. The whys just get trickier, but I'm glad all but the I love yous are past tense for me. Chasing kids will chase the pounds, won't it. I am so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you checking in...The kid list is very familiar to me and does not completely change just adjusts a bit.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you lost 85 lbs... that's amazing!!! Can I borrow a couple of those kids for a month or two... I bet you look amazing, you always do no matter what you weighed...
You sound like your spirits are flying and you are doing well, I'm happy for you and hope you are in good health. I guess the job hunt is off... with 5 kids and all. That is way too much to hold down two full time jobs...ie, kids and work. Isn't funny how God made things work out? Like he almost planned it down to the last detail...hmmmm? makes you think...
Miss ya bunches and I frequently check your blog for any updates. It makes my day to hear from you too. Thanks for visiting.
Take care of yourself,
xoxo
Like Cynthia, I think if I grinned any wider my face would split in half.
ReplyDeleteThis is just great. I am thrilled for you, my dear friend. xxooxx :-]
:) Shared bathrooms? I make sure my wife doesn't have one :)

Heh ... yeah, I've gotten to a point where I know that I need to go to the bathroom at WORK so I can have a bit of privacy.
ReplyDeleteChildren are wonderful re-educators. Isn't "I love you" the best grade you've ever received?

Yep.
ReplyDeleteYep.
Uh Huh, I hear ya.
And I only have 2 kids!
There is some beautiful truth to Motherhood they don't mention in the hospital when you have them!
Wishing you well this week.
This list is really cute! And oh so true. lol Now....if I only had a way to loose 85 lbs without having to adopt 5 kids? Hmm....any suggestions? :)
