Mother (part 1)
May 11, 2006 – 5:50 pmNew talents I never thought I would aquire….Thanks to Mother Hood.
-Awaking at any hour of the night and being able to find a binki, make a bottle, or give the correct dosage of medicine. Ect.
-Applying makeup in the car. Sometimes over the old makeup I was too exhausted to take off the night before.
-Breastfeeding. This still shocks me that they feed off my own body!!
-Dressing children for church that starts at 9am in the morning.
-Washing insane amounts of clothes.
-Bloggin’
-Scrapbooking.
-Quilting
-Reading
-Multitasking
-Cooking (Just ask the Band how much I have improved. But I still occasionally burn toast.)
-Bathing when only absolutely necessary(this usually means 2-3pm daily-during naps)
-Being thrown up on and not even gagging. I am not sure anyone else but my children could do this. No I am not willing to test the theory.
-I could play professional soccer with all the practice I get kicking canned goods so they stop rolling down the grocery store isle.
-I can now set a schedule and maintain it with ease.
-Photos with my digital camera.
-Sewing PJ’s, Blankets, and Pencil cases.
-Eating large amounts of cereal Fruity O’s if you must know is this week’s fav.
There are so many more. Notice patience is still not listed. I was cleaning out my kid’s room- The room Thing 2 has yet to sleep in for an week straight - & I came across their baby blessing outfits.
**These are when they are newly born and recieve a blessing in our church. They are customarily wearing white. AND tiny.
Instantly I was hit with the pangs of Baby HUNGER!! The little fingers and toes nuzzled close to your cheek. The way they curl up so softly into a ball and rest on your chest. Infant clothes, Breastfeeding, warm squishy scentless pooh in tiny diapers. The new baby smell. Night time sink baths. The naps. Oh, the many many naps with out fighting. Whispy, tiny eyelashes. Bright blue eyes. Hand socks that prevent them from scratching themselves.
(Distant, faint, growing louder)
Thing 1: "No! NO! NO! La-LA!! MINE!!!"
*And baby hunger satisfied.*
On with the cleaning, organizing, and straightening.

very funny. *and baby hunger satisfied* I spend half of my day baby hungry and the other half wondering why.

Cheers to motherhood!! And glad you added that last *baby hunger satisfied* line. I was beginning to get “baby hungry” reading the paragraph before that… and that would not necessarily be a good thing. Thanks for being sure to settle that for me and not leave me hangin’!

loved your entry.
they say motherhood changes you…. 
they are apparently right!

Your paragraph made me baby hungry, too. Of course, having my toddler get into my make up 4 times today helped ease that! I loved the image of you playing soccer with the cans in the store!

Cute post. I can relate to the skill of getting kids ready for 9 am church!
By Stephanie on May 12, 2006
How is it you can get kids ready for school by 8:30 by yourself and yet, with hubby’s help, you, me and everyone else, can’t manage to make it to a 10:30 service on time. It’s so hard!

Ah the baby hunger… you know, I hate to say it, but I sometimes get it too. Now I call it “Grandbaby hunger”. You’ll have more. You’re a great mom!
By Nanny on May 12, 2006
aaaaaah!
you ARE such a great mom!!
Happy Mother’s Day!

I second all of that! Happy Mother’s Day to you!
By karen on May 12, 2006
Happy Mothers Day! I second all of them except for the schedule one. Still haven’t mastered that. Must be the need for spontaneity in my life.
I remember now why I am done having children. That last part said it all.

Isnt it amazing what we as women and mothers can accomplish without mercy or even a second thought?! My husband stood there and scratched his head once, witnessing me nursing baby #3 in his sling, while vacumming. Men dont know how to multi task. Well, most men anyways, or heck maybe I just speak for mine! We have been pre programmed (thats why I KNOW a woman had something to do with our creation
) to be this way.
And the baby hunger, yes, it has smitten me lately with a force that I am having a hard time pushing aside. Then I go to dinner and witness a very sweet, very tired, 30 something mom, with baby #1, having a hissy fit in the restraunt, and throwing chips at anyone he could find aim. Then screaming that sounded like the girl in the horror movie that was about to get hacked, if mom took the chips away. Baby hunger, gone!

Often go to the front of the students to show off. I really miss that time, to a pair of red shoes, you could be happy for so long.
