Writers Workshop & 10 Things I Didn't Know Before...



From Mama Kat and her writers workshop. Take a look and jump in! Great for family history too! I went into the archives a little bit to see a post I liked and it was 10 Things I didn't know before parenting. So here goes...

1.Being pooped on, peed on and puked on would someday be something that did not bother me.
2.Sleep. Who needs it really?? Like Lindsey Lohan, So over rated.
3.I didn't know I would struggle to not lose who I am.
4.I never thought it would be so amusing to hide in a dark closet listening to the Panic that goes on when I can't be found.
5.I didn't know I would never pee again without interruption.
6.I had no idea the amount of laundry soap, dish soap, and fingernail polish I would go through.
7.I never, never thought I would buy a minivan and actually like it.
8.I had no idea how much solace I would receive at places like the park, splash pads, the city pool, and McDonald's Playhouses.
9.When I thought a long bubble bath was a luxury, now I revel in a 10 minute shower.
10.I need God. Although I wonder why I wait until I am frustrated, crying and irrational to ask for help instead of doing it first thing in the morning that will grant me the grace to go all day. Really Big Mama, when ya gonna learn???

I love your list and think you and I would get along great. Thanks for sharing with us. Nice to know I am not the only one doing those things.

Your "10 things" are a hoot. The concern of being pooped completely goes out the window when it's your kid's poop. LoL. #10 is a super true statement. Why do we wait so long to ask for God's help?
