Today I am linking up with Andrea and doing Show and Tell Tuesday! Today we are talking about our "momfessional moments"!
1) When I was pregnant with Riley, Charlotte would get up and I would fix her a cup of milk, get her Cheerios for breakfast, bring her back to my bed and put her cartoons on. I would then sleep for another hour because getting out of bed was just too difficult for this momma! I was always super tired when I was pregnant with him, and luckily Charlotte would let momma sleep a little more!
2) I let Charlotte eat in the car! Sometimes it's the only thing that will get her to stop crying! I wasn't allowed to eat in the car as a kid and she's not allowed to eat in her Mimi's car but for me and for her daddy she is allowed to eat! I remember Scott giving her a bisquits to eat and we had to dump her car seat out it was so full of crumbs!
3) I am not the neatest person and my house is always a train wreck, up until the husband is coming home. I don't want to deal with the what have you done all week conversation so I put the kids in their respective areas and clean all the toys and books off the floor and clean the kitchen. It has become routine! Any other day I tell myself it will just become a mess again so there is just no point cleaning it haha!
4) At this point my kids are young and follow me everywhere, including the bathroom! So I can't hide or do anything like eat chocolate watch, tv shows, or paint my nails until the kids are in bed. Having said that I may have put the kids to bed an hour early just to be able to have some momma time! They are young so sleep won't hurt them! :)
5) I may turn cartoons on for my kids, put them in my bedroom and lock my bedroom door just so my toddler cannot open the door so that I can take a quick shower. This doesn't happen everyday but when I've just had enough and need a shower that is what happens!
6) Instead of fighting with my toddler to get her to eat, I hide her food. I remember one day she only wanted to eat Mac and cheese so I sat and hid the chicken in the Mac and cheese and she ate it all without scrunching her nose up! On days she is just too smart for mommy she gets turkey and fruit and cheese and bread for dinner, or some other assortment of food thrown together just so she will eat more than just cheese or more than just chicken! She such a picky eater now that her brother is here and instead of battling her I try my best!
I love my children and I do my very best to be the best momma to them i can be! Having two under two can be difficult some days but a blessing the next! I couldn't ask for better children and I may have my mom moments but I wouldn't trade them for the world! And I'm sure they will get worse as the kiddos get older!
i let my daughter eat in the car too! ha! its a mess but it keeps her happy! so glad i came across your blog and hope youll stop by mine!
