10 Truths I've learned since having kids...

These were in my head this morning so I thought I would write them out...

1. No matter how big you think your house is when you buy it, add in two people (or even just one!) with all of their gear and toys, and your house becomes infinitely smaller and seems completely inadequate, lol.
2. No matter how much you think you love your pets before you have kids, things change once you do. You probably won't ever feel the same way about them again. I realize this isn't true for everyone...but it's definitely true for me.
3. Your children will not need you for hours, but then as soon as you become indisposed doing something important, like making dinner or a phonecall, they need you DESPERATELY.
4. The number of times that I have said, "I love you," and, "Please leave your sister ALONE!" are now probably tied.
5. Bedhead never looked as cute on anyone as it does on your kids:)
6. Before you have kids, you will make lists of all the terrible things that your kids will "NEVER DO." After you have kids, you throw that list out the window when you realize it's impossible to control your children's actions.
7. No matter what you make for lunch or dinner, there is a 99% chance that someone won't like it.
8. Your children will embarrass and infuriate you in more ways than you ever thought possible, but at the end of the day you will tuck them in, kiss their faces, and let it go, because that's part of being a good parent.
9. The more expensive a toy is, the more likely it is to be completely ignored 80% of the time. But if you spend $.50 on a piece of junk, your kids will spend the entire day fighting over it.
10. Nothing has ever melted my heart more than hearing my kids say, "I love you, Mommy."

Happy Monday!
