I hear it often…”you are a super mom”, “i don’t know how you do it?!”
Well I don’t either. Most days I feel like if i had a cape it would be on the front to shield me from the total mess that is my life. It is crazy, dirty loud and fun all the time at my house. I say things I never imagined I would have to say…”no you can’t lick the toilet seat….no I really mean it not the side or top or back….”no part of the toilet can be licked, okay or the bathroom floor. I really mean it., fine whatever lick the toilet seat I don’t care “
NO YOU CAN NOT LICK THE TOILET SEAT
I knew HypnoBirthing would prepare me for a calm birth,thankfully it also prepared me to breathe through the loud days and find the calm amount the crazy.
If someone would have told me 6 years ago that this would have been my life I would have laughed for days. Some people call it parenting, I call it wrangling. Thats what I do all day I wrangle kids, messes, chores, bills, doula work and so much more.
We are ALL Super moms. Every day we getup and wrangle the chaos and on most days do it with minimal tears. Every pregnancy has allowed me to learn something about myself. And the biggest gift I have given myself as a mom of four little boys is to let IT GO. All of it.
SAY YES
Yes you can jump in that puddle, yes you can take your clothes off and run through the sprinkler cause naked just feels better. Say yes as often as you can. Laugh at the chaos and snuggle any chance you can get them to sit still. Enjoy the quiet moments breastfeeding on the couch cause you know those days will be replaced by toilet licking soon enough.
