I know May is officially the month of Mom but I was thinking about it recently with all of the babies being born and all and I have realized that being a mom involves a lot of crazy things that people never tell you when you are going to be a mom.
Such as the fact that I am no longer a mom to just two little girls I am also a mom to O's baby and kitty and L's Lamb. I have to keep an eye on them at all times. Make sure that they are available at the drop of a hat and keep them clean.
Moms must be excavators when they have had kids. I currently have had to dig through stool samples every week for the last month from O to bring into the lab to try and figure out what is wrong with O.
Mom's must be interpreters because no one else truly understands what Stella is saying when she points to the bread and grunts and grinds her teeth which means, "Hey O got bread I want some too"
Moms must learn yoga and even though I have never done yoga I know that I can stretch all of my fingers out and carry a grocery bag on each one while carrying both of the girls and their stuffed animals.
Moms have to be strong and superman when their kids are having blood drawn and try to struggle out of it and say "Mom make it stop"
Moms have to be very creative especially when the kids decide they want you to read a book but they will not actually let you see the book they want you to read.
Lastly, Moms need to know all kids songs because O will say one words such as monkeys and want you to sing the entire song for her on the spot. (This goes back to also being an interpreter)
It is very hard work but I love that job more every day.
