Mommyhood

Text ColorBeing A Mom is the best job in the world. If you were to ask me what im doing today i might tell you "nothing". but 'nothing' is really 'something' and that "nothing" takes up my entire day! Every minute of everyday my "nothing" day goes like this..


changing diapers, feeding, nursing, playing, teaching, attempting nap times, reading books, holding, cuddling, talking to, picking up after, wipping off sticky hands and face, bathing, trying to prevent outbursts or crying fits, and also calming down a baby who is having an outburst or a crying fit. running errands, cooking dinner and much much more uninteresting things. And theres my day of "nothing". Believe it or not, these days are the most fullfilling days ive ever had.


Before having a baby, id go to work, shop, and go out at nights till 3 am, weekends id sleep in till 11am and then take 3 hours to get ready (because i could!) Now going out is staying out till 8pm.(and thats pushing it) im lucky if i can sleepin past 7am, my shopping days are only to the grocery store.. and getting ready for my day is a 1 hour event (on a good day..and that is if i can get a shower in. unless its the weekends and zak is around to help.) Jealous of my life? you should be. I wouldnt change it for anything. i LOVE being a mom!
