Today I was a mom

I saw something similar to this on another blog I follow, so I thought I'd adapt it and make it my own.


Today I Was a Mom


*I am woken up at 7 am by my children.
*I fixed two bowls of cheerios.
*I added extra cheerios to Hannah's bowl, because she said they weren't "even" with Austin's.
*I referreed a pillow fight.
*I kissed boo-boos as a result of the pillow fight.
*I actually used the phrase "Don't put that in the dog's butt!"
*I let the kids entertain themselves in the backyard by taking turns pouring cups of water on me.
*I folded a load of towels.
*I re-folded the load of towels after my kids UN-folded them.
*I re-folded them AGAIN after my kids un-folded them. AGAIN.
*I got to listen to my four year old say "I'm not your friend anymore!" after I told her she could NOT unfold said towels again.
*I picked up the living room. Twice.
*I went grocery shopping by myself for a change, and actually enjoyed my few moments of solitude while standing in the middle of Wal-mart.
*I sat down to indulge in a good book.
*I read three pages before interrupted by my wonderful sweet babies who wanted to play playdough.
*I separated the different colors of playdough and made sure each had a lid on it so they wouldn't dry up, after my kids got bored with it.
*I explained, once again, that there is no such things as monsters.
*I listened to the most precious sound in the world, my sweet children saying prayers with their daddy and me.
*I made sure everyone went potty.

*I kissed two sets of lips.

*I realized that I'm officially old, when I went outside and yelled at the kids next door to "turn it down before they wake up my children!"
*I sat down and relaxed for the first time today, at 9:30 tonight.


I love being a mommy.
