In the last few weeks I have started to rest my body a little bit more. I try to get my chores done in the morning when I have energy and am resting more in the afternoon and evening. Since I sit and do a little less, it gives me time to think a little more. Here are a few items I have come up with that I thought you would agree with or enjoy.
A Few Things I've Noticed....
-People who use the parking spots at the grocery marked for expecting moms or moms of small children are usually neither. My observation is that usually older, heavy-set people are using them because they are lazy.
-The handicap people at WalMart who use the handicap spots are usually the worse parked cars in the lot. And most of them don't pull out the handicap tag until they park.
-Listening to all three of my children laugh and play together could not make my heart swell anymore. I'm a proud mama.
-When people notice I'm pregnant with my fourth I rarely get a congratulations. Most of the time I'm greeted with, "Are you crazy?" or "You know what causes that, right?"
-Little boys can toot or burp on command, it still amazes me. Lucky for us we are adding another one to the bunch.
-The more kids we have the ornerier they get. Paislee may look sweet but she's a pistol. Really, I just think it's a matter of survival.
-Because of having 3 small kids & a few pregnancies, I think it's safe to say I may know where every restroom is in every public place here in town.
-My kids love to go to the doctor or dentist. I think it's because they rarely go.
-Paislee likes to throw her snacky-type food on the floor then get down on the floor and grab it with her mouth, kind of like a dog.
-The phrase "because mommy & daddy said so" doesn't hold any weight when compared to "...well, Chaney said..."
-Chaney could sit for hours and watch country music videos, especially if Taylor Swift, Sugarland and Lady Antebellum are playing. (There is no denying she is my child.)
-You could not pay me enough money to work at Chuck E. Cheese on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon.
-The things said jokingly to your children are often the things they remember most. For example, Chaney asked again, "Is daddy really made of metal." (She meant steel.)
-If I can take my shopping cart to the "cart holder" at 34 weeks pregnant, pouring down rain and 3 kids anyone else should be able to as well.
-Nothing can get a point across to a child like having a heart to heart talk with them with tears streaming down your face because they have frustrated you so bad.
-A 21-month-old child can both frustrate you and make you very happy with their independence.
-I'm not much of a Craig's List shopper but when I do browse their site, it drives me crazy when someone is selling an item and the picture that they post is the manufacturer's picture instead of their own product. So basically they are showing you a brand new item when (I'm guessing) theirs is so stained and nasty they don't want to show the real product.
-I feel like with every meal I eat that my prego belly grows an inch. So, at this rate I may have a 55 inch waist. I will give an early prediction that this little boy could be bigger than the rest of our babies.
-Just when you think the laundry is caught up, it can quadruple in about an hour.
You forgot, the "expectant mom" parkers are almost always smoking, as well as being rotund.
