Truly, there are a million surprises when becoming a mom, but here's a few.
- I would say the line "brush your teeth 16 billion gazillion times."
-That by trying to make things nice, you enable and spoil your kids.
-That there is a spot, when you put your cheek next to your childs cheek, and kiss right in front of their ear, you can feel magic.
-That I would be the soul person in a family of 7 who would ever sweep the floor.
-That I have no desire to buy new things for myself, because invariably, it disappears into someone elses bathroom or closet. Hence, why mothers dress ugly.
-That i can pay $420 for softball fees. Buy $100 of shirts, Pay for team treats, dinner, and after game meals, but, when I have only change to offer after 1! game, not paper cash, I get the door slammed in my face. I just sat thru a FREEZING game in a dress because I just came from my friends moms funeral. Bad day.
-Just because I want something crazy bad for a child, doesn't mean they want it.
-and, just because i grew them in my belly, doesn't mean we will have the same priorities.
- and even after a really bad day, I will stay up all night figuring out how to fix the world for my child.
-That raising teenagers now, is harder than it was being one.
-That I would look at mean kids, and struggling kids, and competetors of my own kids, and still see them as someones child- learning to navigate the world as well.
and one of my questions....
-How many spots have to be on a shirt before we are considered to be to the 'dirty family.'
