That Mom

I'm that kind of mom...


The kind of mom who loves to be silly with her kids and allows pictures that prove it!

That mom that people have to stare at when she dares to bring many young children on a shopping trip to costco, then is brave {rather dumb} enough to eat at the food court afterwards.

The kind of mom who will go for coffee & drop a kid off at school in bright pink pajamas with sledding elephants on them, and not be embarassed.

The kind of mom who hates it when people say, "Wow, you have your hands full." or even worse "Better you than me! I quit at two which is plenty!"

The kind of mom who often hears "You don't look old enough to have 7 kids. I don't mind that one. ;o)

The kind of mom who still licks her finger then wipes her teenager face when they have a spot of something.

The kind of mom who has a child sleeping on her floor nearly every night, but none in her bed.

The kind of mom who thinks it's still a date when she only brings one (or even two) kids on a date with her husband.

The kind of mom who makes her 8 year old sit in a 5 point harness carseat because he's not yet 80 lbs. He's so mad!

The kind of mom who doesn't give her kids junk cereal for breakfast but let's them have it for dessert.

The kind of mom who wakes up to dishes from last night dinner and swears she won't leave them again! Until the next time!

The kind of mom who takes far too many pictures of her kids and resorts to goofy faces and jumping up and down to make her babies laugh for just the right shot.

The kind of mom who goes to bed wondering how she made such a mess of the day and prays about how to be a better mom tomorrow.

The kind of mom who LOVES to teach her kids about Truth in history, geography & science and enjoys coming up with fun projects to cement these truths in their little brains.

The kind of mom who writes appointments on the calendar and enters them into her phone calendar and still forgets them.

The kind of mom who loves each of her children equally, whether they grew in her tummy or not.

The kind of mom who is often late, even though she tries so hard not to be!

The kind of mom who steps on legos, yells and takes them away (for good!) then gives them back the next day.

The kind of mom who loves to play tag, hide-and-seek and build forts.

The kind of mom who makes mistakes and can humble herself and ask her child's forgiveness.
