I Never Thought I Would Be One Those Moms



I never thought I would be one of those moms. You know the ones that have their kids dressed in only a diaper, their clothes don't match, they are dirty with boogers in their nose, misbehave at church, etc. Whatever! Jackson is lucky if he gets a onesie on and very lucky if it gets snapped. Sometimes it is just easier to leave the booger in their nose then fight to clean their faces. Tonight Jackson went to bed with unmatching pjs because I can't find the other pieces. Last Sunday Lucas was rolling around in the middle of the aisle at church and I really didn't care because at least he was quiet. Sometimes I even let the little guys eat snacks off the floor.

The other day I took Lucas' diaper off so he could sit on the toilet. I got busy getting things ready for Kenny to go to work. Lucas likes to go outside and wave to Daddy when he drives off to work. When I looked at Lucas outside I thought to myself, "What are the neighbors going to think, my kid is out here with only a t-shirt and a diaper." Well, as he is waving good bye to Daddy he is peeing in the grass. I forgot he didn't have a diaper on as his t-shirt was kind of big. Oh, well. I know they are going to be just fine. Being a mother has certainly changed my perspective on other mothers.

That's hilarious! I can't believe you let him go to bed with PJ's that don't match :) I used to be obsessed with that--now my kids pick out their own and they never match! That's so funny about him peeing in the grass. When I was driving home the other day one of our neighbor's little boys was doing the same thing. It was pretty funny!
