I didn't know becoming a Parent meant...
1. Stacking today's unread newspaper on top of yesterday's unread newspaper.

2. Eating dinner like we're trying to break a world record for the most pasta swallowed in the shortest amount of time. Standing up

3. Figuring out how to pee without putting the baby down.

4. Wearing a bra that looks like something from a 1930s catalog.

5. Spending three hours getting the baby to sleep and then waking her up two minutes later to make sure she's still breathing.

6. Forgetting what you were...

7. Goodbye late mornings, hello late nights.

8. Making it til ten pm was an accomplishment.

9. Mastering the art of 'gibberish'

10. rendering over the television set to watch cartoons all day.

11. you become immune and to boogers, vomit and other bodily functions.

12. you understand what your own parents have grey hair.

13. eat hamburgers for breakfast and cereal for supper.

14. you lose touch with all the so-called-friend that you should've ditched a long time ago.

15. you burst out laughing at 6am because someone wakes you up by saying "wake up mommy I a tiger, roar!!"

16. you lose the right to pee in private.

17. you figure out quickly that "ketchup" is a staple toddler food.

18. you realize that mommys bed really is more comfortable.

19. you find toys in the fridge and food in the toybox.

20. although very sticky; suckers can fix any problem.

21. "boo-boo stickers" cure toddler headaches, stubbed toes, and brainfreeze.

22. That the water bottle works as a "Monster Spray"

23. That a 10 minute Shower really is a luxury, and if you manage to shave your legs in that time period, you will tell your other Mommy friends, cause by god you are good!

24. That unless the kids are asleep, you will never be able to have a treat to yourself, you will have to share.

25. Drive Thru's are Awesome!!

I'm a first time expecting mommy so I have all these wonderful things to look forward to! But at least it helps to see that there can be some humor to it all
i am lucky if i can get one full leg done a day! it rotates each day on witch leg gets to be shaved... i wish i had the 10 min.. its more like 6 before he comes in wanting to put his toys in there with me so i have something to play with! !
I agree totally and I didn't know (but soon found out) becoming a parent meant everyone in the entire world had the right to stop and tell you how good or bad of a job you are doing. Now that I am a mother I have a new found respect for all mothers!

I agree so much. And something else I thought of while I read your comment was that the people you had been friends with can't understand why you don't have time to hang out with them, or energy to go out anymore. I have that one. But it's all worth it in the end. We have these beautiful little people that love us more than we ever could imagine someone loving us. Great thoughts!
Don't forget the all-important job of referee. From kid vs dad to kid vs dog and everything in between (including cats, aunts, uncles, and grandparents). I have an only child until Sept., so I don't know about vs siblings. As for the 10 min shower, as long as I only shave from the knee down, I can do it about 10 min if I want to. :-D
