Observations from a Mother

*The best time to tear the couch apart is when Mom is exercising on the elliptical.

*When the baby is sick the only person who can hold her, change her, feed her, make her smile and get up with her 50 times during the night is Mom.

*The best time to raid the cupboards is when Mom is in the shower.

*You're lucky to get at least (1) thing done on your daily "To Do List".

*Mom's agenda is never in agreement with the anklebiters.

*Freshly done, darling hair will always be tore out within the first 5 minutes when you are 19 mos. old.

*A book that has been read 10 times over the last 2 days is still fun and new the 11th time.

*You can learn all of the songs from the Disney movies and you will sing them every time they come on. Pavlov's Classic Conditioning plays a role here. Once those first few notes are heard...the words flow, just try and stop yourself.

*Hot chocolate helps wake up grumpy 6 year olds in the morning.

*The best, most comfy bed is Mom and Dad's bed.

*You can convince a 3 year old the meal they just turned up their nose at is their favorite by simply telling them it is.

*Mom will inevitably, without fail, always double schedule something every month, even as often as 1x a week.

*Mom's lap is the safest place to be.

Another good time to get anything you want is when mom is on the phone! My kids always work that one!

amen to that, I so agree, my children love when I am doing something that distracts me from them and they can get into anything and everything and imagine to mess everything up with in 25 minutes or more. But what a blessing it is to be mom!!!!!!!!!

It was so fun to read your latest addition to your blog. The kids are so cute and with your words, their personalities jump out.

Don't know about the whole "mom" thing, but I'm pretty sure my dog has Prater Willie syndrome because he eats everything in my house. He has managed to eat a loaf of bread once a week, and he just ate an entire bar of soap and barfed all over my floor. Gross.
