What I’m learning about myself:
Before I was a Momma…
I never ran late.
I would wake up shower, blow dry my hair, put on my make up and get dressed every morning.
I got to enjoy a hot cup of coffee from start to finish.
I never used words like tinkle, potty, bye bye or night night.
I never worried about leaving the house without a diaper or a change of clothes.
I was less tired.
and I never forgot where I left my wallet or my keys.
Now that I’m a Momma…
I’m always rushing around to get out the door.
I take my coffee to go.
My shower gets fit in at night in between dinner and bedtime, and my hair, well it air dries now.
I now find myself using words like potty, or tinkle when I need to use the bathroom.
Every time I leave the house without diapers or a change of clothes, one kid will poop and the other will have an accident.
I’m always tired… hence the coffee habit.
And today, I searched high and low for my lost wallet, that I didn’t realize was lost, until I was exiting a paid parking structure. After calling every place I had been, I found it in my glove box….in my car.
But…
but despite the fact that my life has changed, it has changed for the better.
I would rather be an overtired, coffee addict, night time showering, air dry hair blowing, forgetful momma any day!

Ha the other night we were out for dinner and I caught myself saying to my husband that my dinner was “yummy”. Not to mention that before I had kids I NEVER drank coffee.. now, I don’t know what I would do without it! 🙂 Oh, and I really like the grey and yellow combo – looks good!
Rags to Stiches says
Oh yes, the hubby and I do this all the time when we’re out. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve said, “I need to use the potty before we go.” UGH!! hahahaha

Thank you! Yes I’ve been seeing grey and yellow around Pinterest like crazy lately and I was inspired to see if I could pull it off.

I LOVE anything with gray, but I really love the yellow! 🙂 I don’t own one single piece of yellow clothing… weird.
