you pick up your child's binky that lands on the filthy parking lot ground, and pop it in your mouth before handing it back.all you want for your birthday is one day of no poopy diapers.you drink out of your child's sippy cup cause the goldfish that you are chowing down leaves a big lump in your throat and it's the closest water source.you curse the trash truck outside for being too loud and pray your child doesn't wake up from it.as soon as your baby starts to cry your chest squirts out milk like a fire hose.the amount of diapers you have changed since your child has been born, outnumbers the glasses of wine you have had in your lifetime.you can take the extra skin from your tummy and tuck it under your jeans.you want your child to grow up to be like Little Bear and not Brobee.you can't get 5 quiet minutes in the shower cause someone either always wants in with you or won't stop flushing the toilet and making the water scorch your every inch of skin.from the minute you wake up you are counting down the hours until naptime, then winetime,then bedtime.you are fishing cars,binkies,phones,cups,shoes,and sunglasses out of the trash can.without hesitation, you use your hand for your child to throw up in.nothing fills your heart more than when you see you boys light up when they are near each other.you look forward to church cause it is an 1.5 hours of no,'mom,mommy, or mama' screaming.it's a 'good' Target run when you can get out of Target before your child, again, realizes he can slide out of the belt buckle and stand up in the cart.you are lucky enough to eat your dinner in one sitting.you come home after shopping and you find items that you didn't pick out, but somehow got in your cart.all your worries and sadness melt into the earth when your almost 2 year old hugs you voluntarily or your 7 week old smiles when you meet his eyes.
