I was going to start this post with, it's early in the morning, I have a cup of coffee in hand, and the house is quiet. That is how I planned to sit and write on my blog this morning. However, the baby woke up, it's 8 o'clock and the others are playing there DS enjoying a little break from school. I do have a warm coffee though. It's the little things that please us.
Having kids makes us enjoy the little things. The essentials we'll say. For example: sleeping, going to the bathroom,taking showers. Maybe the "essentials" is why people are willing to pay five dollars for a cup of coffee. You know, the truth is, I wouldn't change it. True, I would like more showers, but now I truly am thankful for them and if left in there long enough, miss the craziness of it all. Or at the very least feel sorry for leaving my husband alone with the natives.
Kids are great and they add such a dynamic to a household that one can never dream of before hand. In putting some thought into this, I came up with a list of ten things I never thought I would hear myself say before kids.
1. When is the last time I showered?
2. When is the last time you showered?
3. Is it okay to wear to Wal-Mart what I slept in last night?
4. I think I have adjusted to the smell.
5. Never, never put something from your nose in mommy's mouth or anybody else.
6. I love you, but back up from me for a few seconds while mommy counts.
7. I never even imagined that I would ask for a description of bodily fluids. Although, this does come in handy during sick season.
8. Are you sure you want them to spend the night? I know you are the grandparent but, it's a lot of work.
9. What's in your mouth? Should we call poison control?
10. Yes, she is growling. We are trying to teach her not to do that.
It is a great time of life. After all, a cheerful heart does the soul good like a medicine. When I loose the ability to laugh then I become out of focus. If there is something you've said you never imagined either, let me know.
