"Mommy-hood changes things...and
that's great. In fact that is the way it should be if everyone would
take it seriously. But I feel as though there are an aweful lot of
mommies out there that sugar coat being a mom. In my opinion, not all
things about being a mommy are peaches and cream and I feel like it's
taboo to talk about that."

Geez, where do I begin? First of all, not most things about being a mommy are peaches and cream. I have two daughters ages three and one. Of course I love them with every ounce of my being but some days I wish my name wasn't "MOMMY! MOMMY! MOMMY!" Some times I even declare that my name isn't mommy anymore. Who's mommy? It never works. They never go away. That's not correct, let me rephrase it: They never go away unless they are up to something. Silence equals mischief, don't ever forget that. Sometimes I sneak up on the three year old to see what she's getting into. There are days when I will not yell at her for squeezing the contents of an entire tube of toothpaste into her hair. Instead, while she styles her minty fresh do, I tip toe away before she sees me and enjoy the peace and quiet.
