The following is a list of the things that you get used to, but never thought you would have to, while being a Mommy. These are the things the parenting books don't tell you. Enjoy!
1. Going to the bathroom - Seems like an easy enough task that everyone does right? Not for a mommy. It doesn't matter if the bathroom has been empty ALL day, the second I close and lock the door, and sit down on the damn toilet, One of my lovely children starts banging on the door crying "Mommy I have to go right now or I'm gonna have an accident". Silly me, in the past, tried to call their bluff, and continued going potty myself, telling them to hold it. Guess what? I came out to have to bath and re dress a child. I swear they will themselves to pee the second I sit down. It also doesn't matter what time day or night, EVERY TIME!
2. Going to bed - Now from previous entries you all know by now that I am an insomniac. There is the rare occasion however when I do have the ability to sleep like a normal person, sadly on those occasions, at least one of my children are up for some reason or another. Mommy isn't allowed to EVER sleep~
3. Having a conversation - GOOD GOD MOMMY IS TALKING TO ANOTHER GROWN UP! MUST CONSTANTLY INTERRUPT SO SHE CANNOT KEEP HER TRAIN OF THOUGHT!!!! SCARE THE PERSON AWAY BY MAKING THEM THINK MOMMY IS CRAZY AND DUMB!!!!
4. Eating hot food - I have a memory of eating hot food, but I am getting to the point of thinking it is only a myth. Even if we eat out I do not get hot food. The Koala has to go potty, then upon returning to the table, so does Bean, return again, and Tigger is refusing to eat because there is lettuce on his sandwich, so in order for him to eat Mommy has to peel the little shreds of lettuce off, then the Koala spills her drink and I have to get her more, then Bean is still hungry and needs to share Mommy's food, that by this time is luke warm at best.
5. A Hot Bath - I have managed this on a few occasion, but only after 2 am and before 5 am. Good luck if you have light sleepers, the running water may either A. Wake them, or B. make them pee themselves.
6. Get clean clothes - I do the laundry, so you would think I would ALWAYS have clean clothes. Wrong! My clothes are washed last, always. I probably smell funny at this point in parenthood lol.
~~~~I have more, if you like this list, I will add to it.~~~~
**** I wouldn't trade motherhood for any of these "given" luxury's, just so you know, I now just have a bladder of steal, never eat, and smell badly, with no friends haha****
