It’s a Mom Thing

Being a mother of three kids, ages three, four, and five, I never get a break. I’m constantly on my feet whether it is cooking, cleaning, getting them ready for school, practices, dr. appointments, and so on. I never get a chance to sit down even for a second, unless a phone is involved with youtube playing for the kids. Then maybe I get a quick second before they start demanding 'mom, I want this and I need that.'

I don’t even get to pee in peace, can you believe that? If you're a mom then you know exactly what I mean. As soon as I try to sneak to the bathroom there they are, 'mom, you okay? You need anything?' But my goodness do dads have it super easy! They even get to bathe in peace. Man, that would be nice. Sometimes I don't even get to bathe, unless they go to sleep at a decent time and I'm not beyond tired. Then I get to take a nice hot bath. There's been plenty of times where I have forgotten to eat. Yes, it sounds silly but it's the truth. I'm too busy caring for them to make myself something. Oh, but when I do, the kids take my food away from me. I get my grub on when they are asleep.

My everyday look consists of a “Mombie.” Some of you may know this look and rock it often while others well, I will just explain it. Hair is up all the time (mostly because we don’t have time to wash it) with no make up (kids and makeup do not mix) trust me! And possibly kids putting stains on your clothes before even leaving the house. So the “Mombie Look” is something I rock everyday!

My husband works long hours 14 to 16 hour shifts everyday. So this mom does everything everyday for my little crotch goblins. Some days are better than others, but other days, phew. I sit and cry, why you ask, because us mom's get overwhelmed. We are human, we get stressed out and just need to take a break from life every once in awhile.

Let me just explain, my five year old thinks she’s 16, with the constant back talk and must have makeup on, plus she thinks she knows everything. She is always right and everyone else is wrong. She is a girly girl to the max, and can not stand the thought of dirt.

My four year old is balls to the walls, seriously. She’s either jumping or climbing 99 percent of the time. How she’s not broken a bone? You tell me. She keeps me on my toes, always getting into something. Remember the makeup I mentioned, oh yeah, all over my bathroom floor, along with nail polish, shaving cream all in the bathtub as well. Oh and on her little brother, little Bonnie and Clyde as I like to call them.

Now my three year old is always, and I mean always, falling down. He has already got stitches in his eye down from falling, gave momma a heart attack! He’s beyond clumsy and gets hurt almost every-time he falls. I swear I’m gonna need some bubble wrap for this child. And constantly up my butt, literally. If I attempt to walk too fast he will fall because his little legs and as I mentioned before when he falls, well this mom has a heart attack.

Don't get me wrong I love my kids more then life itself but as you can see my life is never boring, always something at every second of the day. How many of you mommas can agree? Could you imagine being a dad just for a day? Man that would be the life. This is just a small taste of what I do everyday If I tried to explain everything well let's face it the kids wouldn't let me sit here that long. Some of you will understand this article completely others won’t understand. Wanna know the secret? It’s A Mom Thing!
