Mommy Thoughts Vol. 1

So it goes without saying, that a lot of things change when you become a mommy. Here are some of my newer observations and mommy thoughts..

On mess making...
Thanks to the evil that is spit up, baby E goes through a good 2-5 outfits a day. However, mommy-who often takes a good bit of the spit up- usually stays in the same clothes. This makes for a lovely afternoon scent to greet the hubby with haha! In general, messes just don't matter as much when your a mommy. It's just life.

On the kindess of strangers...
When your a mommy, almost anyone and everyone volunteers to open doors for you. With carseat and baby in tow, chivalry is alive and blooming! I was especially touched the other day at Target, when as I was putting my many bags of groceries in the trunk and securing the carseat, I stood up to notice that a friendly stranger had taken my cart(without asking) and took it back to the store along with hers. Besides making my day, her thoughtful kindess was completely inspiring.

On my dwindling patience...
Alot of things about being a mommy can unearth a great well of patience you never knew you had. Except that is, when waiting in lines at craft stores. And there's only one line open. And there are four people in front of you. And the lady currently at the register is debating a sale item that is ringing up full price. Naptime was so 10 minutes ago, and it's so stinkin hot outside...you get the idea.

On baby love...
When your a mommy, nothing melts your heart like the face of your sweet, sleeping baby. No work is more rewarding, no paycheck as valuable, no time better spent, no smile as beautiful, and no love so special as a mama's for her little chipmunk cheeked babe. :-)
