Teeter Totter
Finding a Balance Between
"Me-Hood" and "Motherhood"

In this blog I'll be covering as wide a variety of subjects as the duties of a real mom in today's culture.

From raising special needs children, family vacations, marriage, relationships, sex, cooking, local to-do, school (both for you and the children), working, hiring a daycare provider, arts and crafts, decorating, holidays, to well... EVERYTHING!

No holding back.

Things You Know…

But don’t want to. Did you ever notice that when you become a mother your brain gets clogged with all kinds of information and statistics that you REALLY wish you just didn’t know? Well, here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

 

~It takes $3.00 in quarters at the car wash to clean your car after your kid gets car sick.

~It takes 5 fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes to make a 5 year old car sick (but it will look like 100.)

~It takes 2 weeks and 3 cans of “Auto Fabreeze” for the smell to go away.

~Koji Kondo is the composer of all Legend of Zelda video game music.

~You can watch the same movie 23 times before you want to run it over with your car.

~A 7 year old can live on peanut butter sandwiches for 1 month (before they will eat something new.)

~1 glass of Cranberry cocktail juice has more sugar than a can of coke.

~It takes 38 baby wipes to clean up a case of explosive diarrhea in a 6month old.

~The Final Fantasy 7 video game Soundtrack is 7 hours long (or maybe it just feels that long?)

~You CAN get sick from cleaning up other people’s sick.

~You can make it 41hours straight w/o thinking of your own needs once (including bathroom trips.)

~Disneyland is fun for a 3year old for 38minutes.

~The swimming pool at your hotel is fun for a 3year old for 6 hours.

~Tickets to Video Games Music Live are $85 per person.

~The average toddler easily can go through 1 box of tissue a day. The average male teen goes through 2 boxes a day.

~Two teenage boys are louder than my neighbor playing drums in his garage.

~The fastest way to intentionally annoy an autistic teenager is to get a statistic wrong.

~A toddler is faster than Michael Phelps in a kiddy pool.

~It takes 3 seconds before you panic when you think you lost your child.

~You will spend $1,387.12 on being a “snack mom” for the class during your kid’s school career.

~Planter beds are in front of shops that won’t let toddlers “go potty” for a reason.

~It takes 1 bite for your kid to hate what took you 1 hour to make.

~Anusol ointment works better than the cream.

~Your un-born child hears every word you say, your teenager doesn’t hear a thing.

Those are great. It really is amazing how much can clog our brains. I have also found that as soon as I stock up on a favorite snack, they decide they are tired of that snack.

Oooo, I hate that and know just what you mean. I've gotten Costco size stuff that he used to love. You can always save it for when you're "Snack Mom" at school! Hahaha.

Thanks hmoeckli! And I think as long as the booze is in your coffee, juice, or you're drinking red wine, it's ok. Hahahha
