What my childen have taught me

Becoming a mother was something I always wanted to do. I knew it would not be easy, but I knew the good would outway the bad. Although along this crazy road called parenthood my children have taught me some lessons that I did not think of before hand.

1. You will never go to the bathroom alone! Even if you lock the door you will have someone knocking on it or crying on the otherside.

2. Once a kid learns how to talk they do not stop! From the minute they wake up until they go to sleep your ears will not get any rest!

3. Along with the talking you will be asked 5 billion questions throughout the day.

4. Just because they love a certain food this week does not mean they are going to like it next week

5. It only takes about 1 minute ( if that) for a big mess to be made

6. If your house is quiet, as much as you are enjoying it, it is probablt a sign that the kid(s) are doing something they should not be doing

7. Kids are smarter than you think, especially the first born. Everytime you think you can trick them they will prove you wrong

8. Kids have amazing memories....and they will not let you forget ANYTHING!!!!

9. No matter how small, short, skinny your kid(s) are they will find a way to take up an entire king size bed so that you have no where to sleep

10. And last but not least they have energy that never ends. Kids can go and go and go and go and go and go..... and just when you think they should be worn out they will surprise you and keep going!

Those are just a few things I have learned from my children. But tomorrow is a new day which means there could be a new lesson to be learned. I do not think being a parent is hard, but I do think it is tiring, stressful, fun, and something I wouldn't trade for anything. There are days I laugh all day at/with my kids and there are days that I would love to grab at cold beer by 10am. But this is the path I choose and I am happy with it, my kids are happy, and at the end of the dya that is really all that matters.
