Before Kids I...
I was over at Mama Kat's reading her post of the day, and one of the first things that came to my mind was, "before I had kids...." And I thought it might be fun to share some of those thoughts with you today.
Before I had kids, I could never understand why...no...HOW mothers could let their kids run around with their hair all askew. I mean really haven't they heard of these little things called brushes. Don't laugh. I said, "BEFORE."
After I had kids, I realized very early on that it does not matter how nice they look when you are done brushing their hair, because 10 seconds later it looks like they just rolled out of bed.
Before I had kids, I couldn't stand to see babies without shoes or socks in the winter. What are you thinking!? I even would feel this way after the teen was born.
After I had Little Middle, I realized some babies simply do not like things on their feet. And from the time she was born I could not keep socks on her. And when you are a preemie which she was, keeping body temp is hard work. Keep your socks on child! Still doesn't like shoes or socks to this day.
Before I had kids, I would see kids with stuff coming out of their nose holes that should be kept inside where no other human being should ever have to see it. WIPE YOUR KIDS NOSE! That is DISGUSTING! NOBODY wants to SEE that! Did I say that? Of course not. Did I feel like saying that? You betcha!
After I had kids, I found out that sometimes you just don't have something, anything handy to wipe away that nasty mess. Like the time I was walking Kristin to her class on her first or possibly second day of school when she was in Kindergarten. Emily was 2 at most. She also had a nasty cold. She sneezed. I had nothing. It was bad. I got some seriously dirty and disgusted looks. Oh well. Lesson learned...Ialways almost always have tissue now.
Before I had kids, I would see someholy terror child screaming, running, throwing a raging tantrum. I would think...oh please go home! Oh yes I did.
After I had kids....well....you know.
What did you say or do then that you are totally eating crow for?
