Don’t you just love these ecards? They are always spot on and so so funny! Here are a few of my favorites that totally describe me! And most likely most moms…

Now, if you’ve called me between the hours of 7am and 7pm you understand this. It seems the second I put a phone to my ear my kids need me for something. You know the usual, they get hungry, thirsty, they start fighting, get really hyper, throw a major temper tantrum, need a diaper change, etc etc. I’ve been known to lock myself in a room just to make a phone call….but usually theres a kid banging on the door from the other side. 

I have to admit we have yet to take a real vacation with the kids. We’ve done day trips and thats enough for me. This summer, I think, is going to be our first real family vacation. Which, if I’m being honest, scares me a little bit. Truthfully, no matter what you do with kids its work. It’s constant worry, constant watching, constant correcting, constant following. I don’t even get to enjoy a visit to someones house anymore. So yes, Target alone is a vacation to me. I don’t get to do it often but when I do….it’s glorious!

Oye! Shopping with the kids. I say a prayer as we leave the house, in the car, as we walk into the store. Please God let my children behave! For the most part Kamryn and Logan are seasoned shoppers. They do pretty good. Actually, Kamryn is really good. I will admit I do have to buy her a surprise 75% of the time but as long as she does well and doesn’t run away from me and doesn’t break anything, I’m happy to buy her a $1 toy from Target. And remember its not every single time! She seems to do the best when it’s just her and I. She loves one on one time! But…..Logan, oh Logan, he is a ticking time bomb. It’s like get in get out, as fast as you can! No browsing! Once he’s reached his time limit, it is on! I will not go food shopping with my kids unless Mike is with me. That is a nightmare! We need one person ready to take the kid to the car if they start to act up. Who likes food shopping anyways? I don’t blame them!

It’s so bad….I’ve never stepped foot into a gym. Like, ever. Never taken a boot camp class. Nothing! First of all, with the kids being so little, I don’t have the time. Second of all, I never had to worry about my body, I was blessed with a great metabolism. Well, until I got pregnant with Logan. Then things shifted, my body holds the weight differently, my metabolism changed and now…well lets just say I’m not so lucky anymore. This could be due to having two babies and this could be due to age, I think its a little of both. But someday I’ll make it to the gym! Until then, watching what I eat, my yoga videos, my elliptical and walks with the kiddos will have to do! Plus, my body made two pretty incredible human beings, so bad metabolism or not, they are 100% worth it!
