"A day in the life of a mom is a series of fractional moments that while small, when put together in the spectrum of a day, add up like an intricate jigsaw puzzle that can be overwhelming, exhausting, gratifying, and exhilarating all at the same time." ~my thought as I am nursing and wondering where the day went.

You know you're a mom when...

This is a good one that I received from one of my followers, "You know you're a mom when a night on the town means Chuck E. Cheese with a side trip to Walmart for milk."  That made me chuckle. Keep sending me those and I'll keep posting them each week.  If you're new to my blog, we are coming up with "You know you're a mom when....." quotes.  I have another for you.  "You know you're a mom when your idea of a good night sleep is 4-5 hours of unbroken sleep!"  I am so tired lately due to my little diaper diva's sleep (or lack there of) pattern.  She finally got her first tooth to pop through but now has a few more coming and is getting used to sleeping with me or staying awake with me all night.  We need to break the pattern soon or I may not only lose sleep but my mind as well!  Then Curious George got another ear infection and Einstein has his 6yr molars coming in so my house is upside down right now.  So I apologize for not blogging much, I always have so much to say but the days just get away from me sometimes!  I am sure you can all relate.  I had a good birthday, went out for drinks with some friends and spent Sunday watching the Packers win with some good friends and good food.  I was however, a bit concerned for my Weight Watchers weigh in due to the good food and drinks but to my surprise I still lost 2lbs!!  Yippy...not as good as the first week loss of 5lbs but I will definitely take it!  Now I have my 3rd weigh in tonight and I am hoping for a loss somewhere between the 2-5lbs mark!  Wish me luck... I will let you know how it goes!  I must say for anyone wanting to lose some weight, this has really not been that bad!  I still get to eat my "treats" just now it weight watchers ice cream, bars, or popcorn and really I can eat anything its just the portions (I was overdoing it before!!).  I haven't even been working out yet, which I plan on doing soon.  I will be joining the gym so I can jog on the treadmill and stair climber since I am NOT a winter/snow person and refuse to walk outside and freeze.  I know I should be used to Midwest winters since I have lived here my whole life but come on...who really gets used to -20!!  Maybe a snowman or Santa... definitely not me! Well I must be signing off.  Thanks again for listening and keep sending me the "you know you're a mom when" quotes.  I'll post a few more next time.

How about "you know you're a mom when... your idea of a night out is an hour trip to the grocery store while your husband watches the kids!" I got to do this the other day and it was so relaxing, since Im used to bringing along my (almost) 3 yr old and my 5 month old!

How about....You know you're a mom when at the end of a long day, spiderman shampoo will do just fine for a quick shower before bed.
