Being a Parent Means...

1.) Having to clean up poop. On a daily basis. Sometimes off of the walls. Sometimes off the floors. But always off a toddler

2.)Having to pick up toys that were thrown out the window after they pushed the screen out.

3.)Having to go downstairs a million and one times before they understand what "NO THROWING TOYS" really means

4.)Having to mop up toliet water because they think the toilet is their own personal water park

5.) Having to watch the same movie...again and again

6.)Having to explain to your toddler that it is NOT ok to say bad words, while trying not to snicker..to loud

But it also means:

7.)Hugs and Kisses every night

8.)Unconditional love

9.)Forgiveness for your flaws

10.) Laughter

11.) Afternoons in the park

12.)Rocking a baby to sleep

13.) Hearing the words.."Your the best mommy ever"

14.) Feeling blessed...

Every single day

  3. Loved this post! I can so relate to the poop & the cleaning. And having to stop the car and chase down a runaway balloon that's caused a serious meltdown from one of my twins. Motherhood can make you want to claw your eyes out one minute & thank your lucky stars the very next.
