I dont know how you do it.....

You know, I get asked a lot how I do it. Raising 3 boys I mean. Well, not even just 3 boys, but 3 kids. I know people with way more than 3 kids, and I just don't understand I guess why people think I'm so great with 3 when a lot our friends have 4 or 5, or even 6. But I've heard a lot of people say I'm real brave because it's one more kid than hands I have to hold them. Good point I guess I mean I only have two hands how do I do it. But I think as a mom we have more than two hands, have to, and we have the eyes in the back of our heads, and the ability to do a million things at one time. It's how we survive as moms and get all the things done that need to get done. (In all honesty though I'll tell you my kids are great and I don't need to have a million hands to handle them). I think it's amazing the multi-tasking that we do every day as parents. I mean within a one hour time span you'll usually see me doing laundry, dishes, cooking a meal, talking on the phone and coloring with the kids at the same time. I think it's more of a timing thing. We have the timing down to a skill on what needs to be done at a certain time to get everything on your list accomplished that day. It's amazing. So I don't think I'm great just because I'm raising 3 kids, I think all moms are great, whether they have 1 kid to chase or 10. So today I want to give kudos to all the moms out there as our business cards are full to the max. Chefs, Maids, Taxi DriversToy Fixers, Owie Fixers, mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, the finder of lost toys, homework helper, cookie baker, bed maker, outfit coordinator, shoe finder..........and all the other tasks we do on a day to day basis. We're all the heros in our kids eyes. Just a thought.

i think you are right about moms being able to do anything... but i also think that you don't realize how much you do in a day, just how tired you are at the end of it. so when you see another mom doing even just one thing more, you think, "wow! that's amazing!"

you're right about all moms needing kudos! it's amazing how much they can all do, no matter how many kids!
