What's Next?

Motherhood is an going adventure and one that provides many positive and challenging experiences along the way. Just when I think that I've got a handle on things, something else changes. I often find myself wondering, what's next.

My Hidden Talent

I have 4 years of experience being a mom and during that time I discovered that I had a hidden talent…acting.

A few examples involving my four year old son.

Jakey: "Mama - come look what I made!"

Me: "Wow...that...is...great. (Referring the giant deposit he made in the porcelin bowl) 

What I really want to say:  “OMG! That's gross and it stinks in here!”

Jakey: “Mama - there's a huge bug in my room.”

Me: Okay, I'll take care of it. (very calm)

What I really want to say  - “ewwww “  

Jakey: Mama – watch this, it’s so funny. (referring to the same part in Shrek that we've seen a million times).

Me: “Ha ha. That's really funny.” (with a smile)  

Inside my head: I hope this DVD melts.

The best, however, is trying not to laugh when Jake constructs a story.  

At one point,  he told me that he had a girlfriend in San Francisco (who was also four) and they had a one month old baby together. Hmm….where is hubby taking them while I’m at work?

So, the next time you watch the Oscars, don’t be surprised if you see me (or any other mom) accepting the award for best actress. We’ll have the little people (literally) to thank.

Oh how I love it. That is SOOO true! You made me laugh out loud.

Great minds think alike. I was just thinking yesterday that I'm really a professional juggler. Pick up son, pick up rx, go to store, cook dinner, dishes, fix sprinkler, instal new fire alarms, check batteries in old one, get what I need at the hardware store to patch hole in wall...

I like actress too. That is SO TRUE! Great blog.

I feel like I am losing my ability to "act" with my kids. I feel it is 100% correlative to the amount of stupid "why" questions that come out of my 4 year-old's mouth ("why is that a van?")

At least Shrek is a good movie.  He could be wanting to watch Barney over and over and over and over and over and over and... well, you get the idea.
