Secrets to Motherhood

So, slowly but surely I am learning those little things that make motherhood manageable.

Lesson #1 Long Hair

A lot of mothers seem to cut their hair short in an effort to keep it away from the tight little grips of their children. However, as I have learned having short hair means having to do your hair every day. On those days when your hair is a huge grease ball and you haven't been able to shower in three days your going to be glad you have long enough hair to rock the ponytail look. Or if worst... your hair is not only greasy but caked in what you can only guess is spit up, dried buggers, or drool you can fashion yourself a neat little bun.

Lesson #2 Layering

On those mornings when you are trying to keep your self together and look as though you attempted to look polished it is inevitable that you will end up with either spit up, food, a colorful beverage of some sort, urine, or worst... poop down the front of you. I have recently learned the trick is layering. With layering, when you spill your coffee down the front of you while balancing a baby and pushing a shopping cart having an extra layer to work with makes life seem a little easier. You can either remove the layer or add to hide whatever mess is making you feel like a habitual disaster. There is always the option of keeping extra clothes handy but who wants to carry around one more thing.

These are just two of of the many lessons I am learning with motherhood. I feel as though I am starting to get the hang of this whole parenting with ease thing. But that is the misconception because as soon as you think you have found your bearings, something rocks your boat and you loose all faith your yourself. With each new experience I am going to have a new lesson to learn. All those individuals who say motherhood is an adventure weren't exaggerating.

Wish me luck!!!
