Yesterday was a great day and I felt very confident as a mother. Nate worked a night shift so he went to bed as I was getting up at 6:30 am to feed Isaac. I got the boys and myself clean, fed, and to church on time! Never mind I got up at 6:30 for a 10 am service.:) What a feeling of accomplishment! In the afternoon, some women in my church threw us a baby shower! I was very touched by the number of people who came and we received some cute gifts. They even gave Caleb some gifts, very sweet. My Mom came out for the shower as well, lots of fun.
Of course, today starts out totally different! Caleb seems to know when I'm feeding Isaac in the morning and get up right then demanding breakfast.:) Later, both boys are crying inconsolably. I'm trying to figure out how to use a sling I was given for Isaac, but he screams even more. I wanted to lock myself in the bathroom until they stopped crying! Thankfully, that didn't last too long. However, I went to the grocery store with the boys for the first time-another accomplishment!
I was thinking yesterday about some "laws of motherhood." Like
-the baby always spits up on the cute outfit you just put on before walking out the door
-the toddler has to use the bathroom or is dying of starvation as soon as the baby starts nursing
I could think of more, but I thought it would be fun to hear some of your "laws of motherhood"!

Motherhood: just say no =) ok, ok, I'm not really cynical. Well if patient care can be compared to motherhood, then perhaps you could say "the longer you explain something the less they will understand it..." That's my best shot :)
Dirty dishes will immediately appear the minute you finish draining the dishwater and have the dishwasher running.
The hour before daddy comes home will be filled with repeated meltdowns.
Someone will sneeze a big old wad of snot when you are nowhere near a tissue.
You will say things your mother said...repeatedly.
I'm sure I'll come up with more, probably as they happen to me. I'll post them when I think of them. :) Can't wait to see the others...I'm sure Kimberly will have some great ones. :)
The minute you begin to clean, a mess will follow!
The "FIT" will come when you are in public!
If you pour milk, they want juice, upon being given juice they scream for milk!
Just a few of mine today and it's only 10:00 am!
All children know when their mom's are tied up on the phone and they immediately do something naughty!
