You know you're a mom.......

I had the thought "You know you're a mom" the other day as I was cleaning mac and cheese out of the TV remote. (BTW, it took 40 mins, and the remote still didn't work). But it made me think, how many times do we find ourselves doing things and think, "ahhhh, I know I am a mom"

You know, when you are cleaning poo out of the bottom of the bathtub, fishing a sandwich out of the heater vent or cleaning all the rocks out of the bottom of the washer (after washing a pocket full of rocks). I say, lets embrace it. It is what it is, and kids are kids. Let's all have a good laugh together.

So, I would LOVE to hear from all of you. When are your "You know you're a mom" moments. If you are not a mother, share one you have heard, or even better, one you were on the other end of (I am thinking of Lizzy and.....oh so many things).

I have a few:

You know you're a mom when you wipe someone else's child's nose with your bare hand and are not too grossed out.

Also, when you are buying several heads of cabbage a week, and it's not to eat. ;)

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies. On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months. Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin. Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah. I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult. While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas. I LOVE Christmas. The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music. I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year. But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much. This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger. I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season. A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture. I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera. Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture. As you will see, K did not want to cooperate. Isn't that fun. All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent. The kids and the dog took some cute pictures. Kent and I did okay. Together we were a mess. By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family. It seemed the most fitting. Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.

Kent, Mariam and co.
