Motherhood..What are some of your funny kid stories??

 I think alot about being a mom. Maybe it's because I hear mom, mom, mom or mommy, mommy, mommy consecutively over a hundred times a day from my youngest four kids. At times it's sweet and excited voices, and at other times it could be a cry from a hurt child, or simply one kid trying to get my attention just to tattle on another. Either way motherhood like any job has its ups and downs.For some, like myself, becoming  a mother wasn't an easy process. I do value my role as a mom even if at times I need to take a minute to lock myself in a room with a Diet Dr. Pepper to take a mommy moment for myself. I like to find humor in most everything, I have to with a teenager, ten year old, and four kids under five. I think to be a good mom, we must be able to laugh with our kids and let them know we can be silly too at times! Most importantly be able to laugh at ourselves and the craziness that is a moms world . My funniest memories and stories usually come from some "catastrophy" or "bad day" that I was succomed to as mom. Like the time my potty training son flushed a pull-up and my four year old ran to tell me it was raining in the house! Or taking my children to the grocery store only to have them running around crazy, getting into marshmello cream spending over two hundred dollars and ending up with mostly junk food, six different kind of cookies, four packages of $ 10.00 wall hooks that I didn't even know what they were or where they came from. I could go on for hours and that would probably just be that day!! I love to share these type of stories because it makes people laugh because we have all had those days.. So whats your funny stories?? I thought it would be fun to hear from all my mommy friends...come on don't let me down I know you have all had these kind of days..lets so who can make us LOL :)

Birthday Wishes..30 Years Old

Thank you for all your birthday wishes. They say 30 is the new 20, Ha I sure hope so...honestly, what a milestone! I remember when thirty seemed so far away and so OLD! Well guess what it wasn't so far away and kids no its not that "OLD"! Although, my cosmetics have changed over the last few years from acne control to "Age Defying" and Wrinkle Reducing and Collagen Filling. At one time I had maybe two things I needed. (cleanser & moisturizer) now it seems like I have ten products and need even more! You got to love when you go to the cosmetic counter at the department stores and they ask you what you use. Even if they are the same person who sold it to you.. "they act shocked "oh you don't have___"You need something else to add to your regimen! OK ladies you know what I am talking about!  Before my last baby people asked, "You have how many kids?" or "how old where you when you got married?" (code for maybe we can do the math to see how old she is)..LOL..  But at the beginning of this year I swear my body got word t was hitting the big 3-0. And bam like a comet from the sky it hit me. Wrinkles, dark circles, the "girls" falling, and every piece of chocolate I eat ending up hanging out for a while. Now, I know the tricks & "Hollywood Secrets" to hiding most of these imperfection
s. But you know what I am a mom my family comes first so there you go! On most days you stop by my house before noon I'm in sweats, no make-up, my hair in a clip and I'm probably running around like a mad woman. Well..Guess what?  From today on I'm not going to apologize. I'm going to embrace it, dang it! I'm 30 now! I have had 6 kids .. there are days I will get all dolled up for my husband and he might even think I look sexy, but come on really?I'm just going to say it.. Any mother, taxi cab (or mini van) driver, short order cook, maid, referee, teacher, tutor, seamstress, wife, errand running, calling holder, woman is NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE THE COVER OF GLAMOUR MAGAZINE at all time! Just saying..Is it just me?? well anyways I'm glad my husband doesn't mind me whatever way I am no matter how OLD I get :)
