I will start this off by saying...I love my kids, and they are my everything, my world, my loves :) I wouldn't trade them for anything and would do anything for them. With that being said being a mother is hard work! No one warned you about the little things, the sad things, the worries!! So much detail and so much time goes into everything you do. It completely changes you and everything you were and will be. They don't tell you about having to remember EVERYTHING! Baths every other night and J1 you really should every couple nights because he has sensitive skin and eczema that flares up but only in the winter time. Bathing with no lotion will cause you sleepless nights of him crying and itching with nothing you can do. But you have to wash his butt every night cause he is still in diapers and without proper cleaning every night with cause what I like to call monkey butt which will in turn cause you to have sleepless nights of crying and itching! So lose lose forget the sleep. They don't tell you this crap. The number of trips to the fridge for milk...hours of running water and the amounts of spilled baby formula. Oh the sleepless nights... When you get J2 to sleep and in bed and praise to the good lord J1 has fell asleep before 9:30 and you had gotten clothes ready and bags ready for the next day and you actually get to lay your head down for the night and you are so exhausted you plug in your phone and shut off the tv...close your eyes and smile so big because you are actually getting to go to bed before midnight and bam! J2 instant full body blood curdling scream (which not only I can hear decently from my bedroom because off the tiny house, but because I also have a monitor that's on full blast because I'm afraid to not hear him!) so I jump up and I'm in there in 2 sec, after turning down the monitor (since J1 is in my bed asleep, lord knows Id pay if he woke up to the baby crying) and get to him only for him to go back to sleep. Great your thinking...nope we play this game of wake up fall asleep about 3 more times which takes about an hour until I finally just wake him and give him a bottle hoping this is what he needs to sleep well! Ok so it's alright your thinking...fat man eats and is back to bed by I dunno 10:30 or 11:00, so I come back in and lay down my head, only to realize I have to get back up and turn the monitor back up (little thing) and once I'm finally asleep bam! J1 starts crying (right next to me) so loud that I am immediately woke up and feel like someone punched me in the stomach because it took my breath away (my mom does this too, with a crazy sound that I ever so luckily inherited along with diarrhea, which is a whole nother story) and let me explain this once again that my children are blood curdling screamers when they cry so it's sooooo loud! Anyway after about 1/2 hour 45 min I realize he is waking up crying like this because of his skin itching...so I finally get back up go to the kitchen (for more milk of course) and then grab the hydrocortisone from the bathroom then rub as much as I can as fast as I can because it's a huge fight! (Little things...keep hydrocortisone on hand) so here I am writing this up terrified to shut my eyes for the little lungs of my boys are secretly waiting to belt out once I am sleeping...I just feel it. (Little things... You won't sleep...ever) I will finally shut my eyes about 1 to get up to start my day at 6, so i can have an hour to get myself ready and then 1/2 hour to get the boys up and ready so we can rush to my sisters and I can rush to work to work work work till 5:30 (which is almost easier) then home for dinner baths bed all over again! (Little things...do everything exactly right all the time and life will be grand) hahahahaha.
Don't share a bed with your kids...
Teach them to be respectful and have manners...
Routines!!!...
Don't be afraid to use the belt....
You can have too much milk!
Chicken Alfredo is different from noodles with chicken and Alfredo sauce ( your laughing but it's true)
