Without Kids, Life Would Be Far Less Interesting

I would have never mistaken a glue stick for a lip balm, like I did today, if I were not a mom. Because I would not have glue sticks in the house if I were not a mom.

I would have never helped K make a playdough porcupine.

I would have never helped S make a pinewood derby car festooned with Green Bay Packer stickers and colors, even though I am a Vikings fan, if I were not a mom.

I would have never bought Barney dinosaur and Dora the Explorer videos if I were not a mom.

I would not find myself spending countless hours on a pool deck, or at various baseball tournaments, softball, soccer, basketball, and football games if I were not a mom.

Glue stick not withstanding, I am so glad I am a mom.

Carrying children through Disneyland is Super-Human strength. Especially with the crowds!

"Finding Nemo" for a long time was our "nebulizer movie". K would not stay still for her nebs when she was a toddler, and "Finding Nemo" really helped. I have been known to exclaim, "Heeeerre's Brucie!" at inappropriate moments!
