11 Ways...

11 ways to know that you're a mommy of a 2 1/2 yr. old and a 5 mo. old:

1. You start to notice that around 11 a.m. you have the shakes only to remember that you gulped down the whole pot of coffee in attempts to wake up and never ate breakfast.
2. Sitting down to eat a meal is a luxury. You take a bite here, a bite there while you can.
3. You wonder why you even get dressed some days b/c spit up takes over every outfit. (i realize this may not apply to some people; any suggestions to help the spit up are welcome.)
4. When you do get dressed it is in total segments. Like the meals, a shower here.... makeup there...
5. You know every word to Cinderella and all praise baby video songs in complete order.
6. Going to Mcdonalds playland is condsidered a good 'getting out'.
7. You seriously wonder if there is a laundry curse against you somewhere. HOW does so much accumulate???
8. You hear yourself saying the dreaded words "Because I said so."
9. The sweet smell of a baby is the sweetest of all!!
10. Short term memory?? doesn't exist... i.e. thinking of something that needs to be on the walmart list, however, by the time you make it across the house to the walmart list you can not at all remember what it was.
11. You are SO tired by the end of the day but can't fall asleep b/c the words to the Wonder Pets theme song are stuck in your head. Serious.

Hey Ginger. It's Kristi Patrick. Mrs. Freddie told me you had a blog. Your children are so cute. Mary Elliott and Claire look to be about the same in size and both have a lot of hair. Your comments are so true! I can't imagine having two bc I can barely get ready with just one! Check out our blog www.joshandkristiwilliamsfamily.blogspot.com
