You know you’re a Mom when…

Mama Kat's weekly writing prompt exercise...


I woke up in the middle of the night with the baby screaming. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. When I went to pick her up I realized that she was drenched in sweat. I stumbled around for the light switch so I could see better. Why was she sweating so much? Is she sick? I was obviously still half asleep because it took me a minute to realize that I was dripping with sweat also. Yup, the A/C is still broken. I had hoped that they had fixed it but that is clearly not the case. I ran around the house trying to find things to cool her down. Now that she is back asleep I can't fall asleep. Boo!! 


Well at least this gives me time to catch up on my blog. I know how you all just can't go on with your day until you are blessed with my writing (Sarcasm)... lol. 


You know you're a Mom when... 

  • You get songs from Nick Jr. stuck in your head... "It's time to eat.. yeah.. yummy yummy.. time to eat... yeah.. in my tummy"- Yo Gabba Gabba
  • You use baby talk intermittently when talking to adults. "Then I had to go make her a baabaa." 
  • You start calling your mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, even without the kids around. 
  • You don't even realize the stains and hand prints on your clothing. 
  • You think sleeping until 9am is sleeping in.
  • You can't hold a conversation without bringing up your children. 
  • You are listening out for little foot steps and crying when tying to get your Marvin Gaye on. 
  • The person who is stumbling around, throwing up, and talking gibberish with a bottle in hand isn't your BFF.

    LMAO... oh, how true that list is! Only, I have songs from the Sprout channel and Disney Jr in my head... UGH... even when I haven't had it on, they creep into your brain in the middle of the night and plant themselves, don't they?

    Stains and hand prints? I haven't left the house in a "clean" pair of pants or shirt in two years! Can't get past breakfast without something getting on me!

    Thanks for the laugh. Hope your a/c gets fixed soon... terrible way to wake up!

    Stopped by from Mama Kat's

    Ahh yes, the person stumbling around vomiting used to be my college roommate. Times have changed.

    Ha! Great list - all so funny, except it reminded me that I slipped the other day and called my husband Daddy when I wasn't talking to the kids (ewww), which always skeeves me out when other people do it and I SWORE I never would. Sigh. Oh well, I also swore I'd never let the TV babysit my kids (who are watching Spiderrman as we speak).

"Have a New Husband by Friday"

Image
I decided to take Abbie to the bookstore a little over a week ago, on Friday September 21st. I was in hope of finding some book series that I could get her to read that would spark a love of reading. I naturally do not have a love for reading but rather lothe it.  When I was growing up I had several issues with reading and never truly felt sucked into a book like I would hear other describe. The star wars book were a huge solution to my parents struggle to get my oldest brother to read. He founds something he connected with and had a passion for. I want that for Abbie. We picked her up a book about a mermaid. We have yet to start it due to the chapter books she has to read for school. I am hoping to get back into the rhythm of things at home. I also decided that it is important for her to see me reading more, if I want her to read. I love reading the Bible and get so much from it but if faking a passion for reading would help her it is worth it. It might also teach me more discipli...

I Could Have Just Died (Most Embarrassing Moment)

Image
I haven't done a writing prompt from Mama Kat's Workshop, so when I saw that one of the prompts was to tell an embarrassing story I thought I just had to share. Hopefully, this will lift your day as it usually seems to get a good chuckle out of my friends and family. I don't usually embarrass easily, I contribute it to the fact that I am silly and usually like to do weird things. I have also stated that I like to be completely honest with people. There is a kind of freedom that comes with transparency. The day seemed like any other. We had gone to my mother in laws house to pick up Abbie, she was only a couple years old at the time. Any trip to my mother in laws house is not a quick one, and usually I don't mind it. I went and sat on her front porch to "catch some fresh air", which was my code for smoking a cigarette. (I am so glad that I am finally free from that addiction.) As I sat there I noticed how beautiful it was outside. The sun was shining but...

How NOT to Impress a Crush (Most Embarrassing Moment Part 2)

Image
I recently did a post on my most embarrassing moment inspired by Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop. After writing it I had comments asking me to share the other embarrassing moment that I had mentioned in the other post. So here it goes... It was pretty bad.  During my sophomore year of high school there was a guy in my home room that I had a crush on. He was handsome, was in a band, and was funny. We shared the same group of friends. One night his parents were out of town and he was having a pool party at his house after his band preformed. It was going to be the coolest event. When we got there he showed all of the girls where we could go to change into our swim suits. I had the chance to change and joined everyone at the pool. It was the most fun time. Time went so quickly and soon I had to run before I missed my curfew. I threw my clothes on over my swimsuit, jumped in my car, and got home. I had a strange feeling that I had forgotten something but quickly dismissed it.   ...
