10 Things About my Life with Kids

There are several things I LOVED doing before kids came into my life ! A couple of those things came to mind this week and I thought it would be fun to write a few down this week because really the things I thought of are kinda silly but still nonetheless, I still miss:

1. Being able to take a long warm shower and then put my bath robe back on and take a nap.
2. Being able to get in and out of a store QUICKLY (especially in 2 degree weather)!
3. Being able to get out of the house in 2 minutes flat.
4. Work out whenever I want. Example: not at the crack of dawn or hoping someone can watch the kids around my “schedule”
5. Having a Perfect Christmas Tree.

Okay so now that I have those off my chest, of course these next five things COMPLETELY outweigh the first five:

1. Listening to Carter sing the “ABC song/Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”.
2. Having Evan randomly come and give me a hug and kiss and say “I love you, Mommy”!
3. Having Evan get himself out of his crib, crack open the door and inform me that indeed he took a small nap and is ready to come join me. (He didn’t really take a nap, instead I heard him climb in and out of his crib and play the whole time he was in his room.)
4. Watching Carter read book after book after book quietly in his room on his rug. He sits with crossed legs and hovers over the book.
5. Hearing “Momma or Mommy or Mom…” except when I hear it 30 times in a row in one conversation !

What little things do you miss? And what things completely outweigh those? I would love to hear from you!
