Glamorous Motherhood

This is my second attempt at this post. The last I accidentally deleted. And I had some good things on there. Darn. I would like to begin by saying I do think that motherhood is an absolute blessing, a special privilege, a true gift from God, and the best job in the world. That we have all heard. These are the things that no one tells you before you enter into being a mom. You can stop reading now if I have scared you about being much too honest. I was thinking these things are too funny not to share. 1. Boob leakage. The other day at a crossfit class I had just put my sweatshirt over my top when I felt the milk letdown. I looked in the car and sure enough there were two round milk spots. I worry about leakage all the time. I have extra pads wherever I go and constantly am looking down to check out the situation. 2. Spit up. We were at Target a few days ago and I kept smelling spit up. I would smell Eden, her blanket, then her again. But she was in the cart and I was still smelling a strong whiff of it. Finally I realized it was actually coming from my hair. Nice. And I had just washed my hair that day. I would just have to lice with that smell for a few more days before it was time to ash my hair again. 3. Pee. After two kids, it's sometimes hard to keep all your pee contained, even when using your special muscles. I have to laugh in classes when we have to do a ton of jumping jacks or jump rope, because I know for a fact a little will escape. So if you see me in a class smiling during these horrific intervals, now you know why. 4. Dirty. Sometimes I don't brush my teeth until noon. And I have a three month old. That's just how it is. 5. Cold coffee. I heat up my coffee at least 4 times every morning, some days more. If I could get through one cup and it be hit the entire time, that would be a miracle (or would be called a vacation from children). 6. Sweats. Sadly, I don't wear cute jammies anymore. Or at least not for the time being. Not when I have to get out of bed in the cold to change a diaper and feed a baby. Those cute little shorts and tank that match and are supe cute are shoved way in the back of the dresser. Do you know what is up front? Sweats and my sorority t-shirts. Sorry honey some day I'll be back to wearing real pajamas instead of "What Not To Wear" attire. Ps: p,ease don't sign me up to be on that show. I will return with more examples if I think of any. These are just a few, and I am thinking that I should consider using my time wisely to clean instead of sharing myself in all my glory and glamour. ;)
