When my husband is not home I consider blue box mac and cheese, a hot dog, and a side of fruit a well-balanced meal for me and the kiddos. (The fruit is what does it!)
My kids have had candy, coffee, and soda all before their first birthday.
There are many days in the week when I find myself dreaming of a long hot shower...but get excited if I wash my hair in the bathroom sink.
I don't brush my children's teeth twice a day. John chews on his toothbrush at least once a day and Nathan doesn't have teeth yet.
I put rice cereal in my baby's bottle just in case the pediatrician is wrong and it does help him sleep through the night :)
My oldest has bed head all day, every day. His curly hair is untamable by a comb - so why try?
Sometimes I frantically straighten up the house right before my husband gets home from a trip just so he doesn't know I didn't clean a lick all week.
I don't get up an hour before my kids so I can get things done in peace and quiet. I don't get up so I can drink a cup of coffee before they rise. Heck - I don't get up until Nathan cries or John crawls in my bed.
I think the TV makes a perfectly acceptable babysitter assuming I'm somewhere else in the house.
I own a baby monitor (a fancy one with a night vision camera) but I rarely turn it on. If my kids need me they'll cry or yell loud enough that I hear them in the next room.
I enjoy my kids immensely, but mommy-alone-time is non-negotiable.
Nathan's thumb sucking doesn't bother me. In fact, I encourage it. Gotta love a kid who can self-soothe.
