I have this amazing friend-her name is Stacy. She is one of the smartest & nicest people I know. I haven't known her for very long-we met through our husbands. Her husband aka "Hot Sauce" (as he likes to be called) & Danny were best friends & next door neighbors growing up in Salt Lake. Mike & Stacy have moved down here & we have gotten to hangout with them several times & I just love them. Not to mentionn that Mike is literally one of the funniest people I have ever known. I have learned a lot from her & she is such a good listener-I feel like I could tell her anything & she wouldn't judge me. She is also the mother of 2 (almost 3) adorable kids. She is a great example to me & I so glad to have her in my life. Love ya Stace! Anyway-on her blog she did a hilarious & honest post about all the things she thought she would NEVER do as a mother. I loved it so much I just had to copy her. So here ya go-these are just a few of the things I thought I would NEVER do as a mother:
1-While changing a diaper, I think, "It needs to be wetter than that" and I put it back on
2-Put my kids to bed dirty
3-Put my kids to bed in their clothes
4-Feel good about taking a shower at 3:00pm because at least I got one in today
5-At 7:05 I might say to my child, "It's almost 8:00, it's time to get ready for bed." Thank goodness they can't tell time yet!
6-Turn several pages at the same time of a really long book-although Averee is catching on to that one!
7- Change a diaper in the trunk of my car
8-Sleep on the floor of my childs room until they fall asleep
9-Feed my kids cookies or cake for breakfast
10-Go grocery shopping at midnight
11-Feed cold cereal for breakfast, lunch & dinner
12-Be reading a book to one child while nursing the other
13-Be pregnant when the youngest child can't walk, speak or eat by herself
14-Love snuggling with my kids so much
15-Clean up so many messes of so many different kinds-sometimes I don't even know what it is!
16- Let my kids run around naked in the sprinklers in the backyard
17-Be so upset at someone so small
18- Wipe my kids nose with my hand & then wipe that on my jeans-YUCK-I know!
19- Ignore my child while they throw a traffic stopping tantrum in the store
20- Bribe my child with candy NOT to throw a traffic stopping tantrum in the store
21- Forget details about my children such as current weight, height or year of their birth!
22- Love getting slobbery sticky kisses
23- Worry so much about three little people
24- Learn to love pink
25- Enjoy staying in pjs till lunch time-& beyond!
26- Enjoy cartoons & Disney movies
27- Take less & less pictures of each consecutive child
28- Think of the park as the cool place to hang out
29- Consider the Wendy's Drive thru a lifesaver
30- Love so completely & so fiercely
Well, that is enough embarrassment for one day. :0) Hope you enjoy my list & I would love to see one from you...

Thats so funny, I totally can own up to all of those. And no, i didnt text you about inn and out, however, I have been twice already and both times the wait wasn't that bad! the drive thru is only 15 mins. yum yum!
That was hilarious! Probably more hilarious because I could relate to all of them. I never thought I would be watching Barney and Elmo literally 20 times a day! And last night for dinner Brooklyn was screaming for Sour Cream and Onion Pringles until I finally gave in! Oh the things you do sometimes!
I love this post. Oh, the things we never thought we'd do. I've probably done all of them and I only have 1 kid!!!! I must be weak. :)
Wow, I need to get to know Stacie! She sounds like a great person! Are you replacing me already? ;0) That list is priceless! I think all mothers have one that's very similar! It's good to know I'm not alone!
Maryn,
Your post was way too nice about me. I love the ones you added to the list and yes if I would have spent a little more time I would have thought about the tantrums and nose wiping. Anyway, I Love You and think you are an amazingly put together and patient mother and I need a little of you to rub off on me. So we'll have to hang out MORE.
Oh, I loved it! I could totally relate. Thanks for the smile about some of the highs and lows of being a mom....
I love that, I don't think there is anything I'd change but I would add how I used to swear I'd NEVER say some of the things my mom said and I catch myself using all the same lines.
