I know im not quite up to mom status as of right now, but being a nanny is making me realize JUST how hard the mom job is! I've really started to appreciate how much my mom did for me.
flashback on my childhood: mom is driving and she's got four kids in the back saying MOM! MOM! are you listening? mom im hungry mom can i have a snack? mom can we go to mcdonalds?? mom! mom? mom... mom can i have this?? what does this do? hey mom look ... LOOK MOM! MOMMMM! mom look. mom. mom. mom. mom. mom look. mom.
or how bout after school and the kids burst through the door.. mom can i have a snack? will you get me milk? can i have a cookie? did you make new cookies? mom there's no cookies ... i want cookies. no i dont WANT an apple i want cookies! please mom? will you make them??? mom why are you folding clothes? i dont wanna do the dishes mom! can i play with friends? WHY?!!! i HATE homework! i dont want a bath. yes i made my bed.. i am NOT LYING! no dont go check yet one second. but MOMMMM!
I could really go on and on with that stuff all day haha and all the COOKING you have to do every day... i spend most of my down time either planning what these little guys are gonna eat for dinner and then preparing it and then trying to get them to focus and EAT it. on a time limit. haha moms are really TRULY amazing people.
THANKS MOM!!!
Yours always,
your little girl
Thanks baby girl!
