Craziness

It is crazy to me that we have a 14 month old!  It's still crazy to me that I am a mom!!  Caden is working on getting (I think) 4 top teeth in, and this round has been a booger!  He is pretty clingy/whiney, and not sleeping as late as he usually does.  So, as far as this mom is concerned, those teeth can come in any time now!!

Like I said, it's crazy to me that I am a mom!!  It's what I've wanted to be since I was, oh, three years old, but it still doesn't seem real sometimes!!  And then, I think of all the ways life has changed/I know I am a mom, and it's reality :).  Let me share...

• A shower, drying my hair, AND getting makeup on all in one day??  Oh stop, it's too much :)
• You licking the pacifier off after it falls on the floor or who knows where is now as good as scrubbing it with Lysol
• Your child is dressed well, and you look lame
• Going to Target by yourself feels like an early birthday present
• You cry at pretty much anything
• The crayon artistry he added to the walls downstairs for some reason doesn't upset me too much
• You're in bed every night by the time the news is on, and if not, something is wrong
• You have thousands of pictures you've taken in the last year
• You forgot you had nailpolish and what it was for
• Shave your legs??  You can do that in the winter, too??  That's not just a summer thing?
• You can sing all the theme songs from Nick Jr.
• Your heat is set about 8 degrees higher this winter than it was when you didn't have kiddos
• You can change a diaper without gagging (if I change anyone's but Caden's I gag like mad!!)
• You go downstairs to get something, and completely forget once you get there
• You call your dogs, kids, and husband all by eachothers' names

I could go on, but you get the idea.  I just kept thinking about it the other day and kept cracking up, so thought I'd share a few thoughts I had! 

We are looking forward to having Jared home this weekend after he ski trip last weekend.  He went with the middle schoolers from Church and managed to (so far - fingers crossed :)) not get the flu that many kiddos on the trip did.  Phew! 

I'll post more pics of Wild Man McGee soon!  Happy snow!!
