The Real Deal
Nancy at Mom, Ma’am, Me, tagged me last week for a great “Real Moms” meme started by Kristen at Motherhood Uncensored and The Mom Trap.
Because I’m verbose and can’t limit it to one thing, I’ve got a few to share.
Real moms use skin care products that claim to energize, rejuvenate, relax, and protect. No wonder my skin is so damn confused!
Real moms sometimes take their kids to daycare doctored with Ibuprofen.
Real moms put their kids to work in the kitchen.
Real moms will do anything to prolong the almighty nap.
Real moms let their kids entertain themselves.
Real moms get pooped on, cried on, peed on, and jumped on.
Real moms can’t imagine life before motherhood. But real moms sometimes miss life before motherhood.
Real moms laugh, cry, stress, worry, and love.
But real moms also get kissed, hugged, and adored a thousand fold. So as far as trade offs, it ain’t a bad deal.
Here’s to moms everywhere, keepin’ it real. Yo.
I’m tagging some fellow Tennessee mamas…Busy Mom, Ginger, Emily, Nicole, and Malia.
Edited to add: Real moms try to get ready for work and blog and realize their 2-year-old has escaped out the dog door and is in the back yard wearing nothing but a diaper.
