Official Mom Things

Is it weird that sometimes I don't feel like a real grown up? 

 I manage a household and take care of Tweedle Do and Tweedle Do while growing Tweedle Three. I've been married for six years, I have real furniture and a car full of stale cheerios and Thomas the Trains. Clearly, adulthood has hit me full force. But there are still some days where I really don't believe that I 29 and an almost mother of 3. 

But then, there are other days, when I know I have hit Official Mom status.

I was in charge of snacks for Cullen's first t-ball game.

Wait, back that up.
Cullen, my very own child, is old enough to have a first t-ball game. 

And I was in charge of the snacks. So I sliced up oranges and brought juice boxes.

Bennett sometimes only has two moods: hyper or tantruming. I called my mom to complain, because that it what you do in there situations and the conversation went like this:

Me: It is exhausting! Why can't we just sit and color? And on top of it I feel fat and gross and I didn't get any sleep last night, so literally everything they've done today has been annoying.

Mom: Now do you understand why I was cranky sometimes during your childhood?

This particular meltdown was over putting on pants. 

Apparently, when I was 5 and just assumed my mom wasn't in a good mood, it was really because she was pregnant, and tired, and I spent the night in her bed kicking her in the face and then the entire day being annoying with my brother. It all makes sense now.

There is nothing more I crave right now than a really cold (large) glass of white wine.

I wore the same leggings and sweater two days in a row because no one saw me the previous day.

B has totally transitioned into a big boy bed.

Cullen asked me "why those things up by the neck are getting so big?" And I had to fumble for answer (to make milk for our baby when he comes... Cullen: O, so they are like magic?...uhhh )

I know the theme song to Mighty Machines and sang it to Jenn via blog comment the other day.

I don't know what's going on in the news, but I can tell you the plot of Curious George's Swing Into Spring special.

But even on the days where I want to hit my head against a wall, or find it hard to believe that I am going to be in charge of 3 little people soon, I am so happy where I am and wouldn't trade it for the world. It is a blessed status to have.
