Did I Really Just Do That..

Okay, so if we as mothers are really honest with ourselves and others, there are many things we do throughout our days that seem perfectly normal to us, but may be a tad weird to others. I started to think of all the odd behavior I exhibit after walking past a few unattended chicken nuggets and thinking how much I wanted to inhale them! WHY on Earth would any adult want to take a dinosaur shaped piece of chicken away from their sweet child?? I can't say for sure, but I was able to talk my son into giving mommy just a little bite! It led to me remembering that I actually do have somewhat of a more sophisticated palate as far as some things are concerned. The chicken nuggets gave to way to my thinking about other things that moms (and some dads) do when in the throws of child rearing. The past two weeks have brought runny noses off and on, and a tissue is not always on hand. While you are reading this go ahead and raise your hand if you also have used your shirt or coat or even your fingers to wipe a little nose! I mean seriously, how long can you let it run down their faces, or watch them try and lick their faces before you go to such an extreme? In my experience...not very long! We are usually stacked with tissues all over the house and in the car, but every once in a while you gotta do what you gotta do. I have found myself "helping" with school projects to the point where I have sat and completed the project before my oldest two have even gotten home from school. I wish I could have done that with my own school projects! I have let my boys pee in or on countless parking lots, driveways (don't worry, not yours!), trees at the park...ect.ect. They don't seem to be able to hold it as well as the girls. I think the worst thing is when I catch myself singing, and happily singing a song from Yo Gabba Gabba or Dora the Explorer. While doing the dishes or folding laundry, I can find myself getting down to "Don't Bite Your Friends"! Hmmm...good advice at any age!!
