BEING a MOM

I'm sorry to disappoint - I know I have not posted anything since before the holidays...in my defense, I have a heavy workload and I was only recently able to come down from all of the holiday craziness...only to be greeted the next day with the start of school again...Blah...why do I do this to myself? Anyways, enough about me - this is about you or the potentially future you...or that someone you know, you...or your own mom - anyways, you get the idea. 

So on to the punch line...my husband recently, and sweetly, purchased me a book (as if I have time to actually read a book when I am not working, cooking, cleaning, doing homework, or reading textbooks) but any who...the gesture was sweet.  The title of the book is Babyproofing Your Marriage.  I was not sure what to think of this, uuhh humm, kind gesture - but then I opened it - just for a few pages before mindlessly being swept into changing a poopy diaper and attempting to nourish both myself and my child with dinner before I sloughed myself into bed.  Once I opened it, I was pleasantly surprised.  It is a humorous book about the trials of becoming a mother, maintaining your partnership with your husband, and being able to laugh at life's challenges and greatest joys.  In short, the book was good.

I have only read about 25 pages (stop laughing) this is actually quite a triumph in my current stage of relentless work and schooling and living life off of very little sleep...but none-the-less those 25 pages have been invigorating. 

Here are a few little clips I thought I would share with you that just had me laughing out loud.  Perhaps the mother in you would enjoy this book as well...

I have to agree with that last clip and I think I will making a phone call to Mother Nature myself.
