You Are So Going To Miss....

One of those phrases that ranks right up there with It Goes So Fast and Hang in There. Certainly there are so many things I already miss about having Stream babies and watching them grow. But I also won't be kidding myself and thinking I will miss everything. I won't. These are some of the things I will not miss about child rearing.

Whining
Crying
Fussing
Fighting(which includes but shall not be limited to kicking, pinching, slapping, punching, hair pulling, tripping and head butting)
Tattling
Temper Tantrums
All bodily fluids that I have cleaned up.
Lying
Defiance
Kiddoes who will not stay in bed.
Sibling rivalry

So.... this is what this future mommy has to look forward to eh? ;)

You do share plenty of good stories about your kids and what wonderful young adults they are turing out to be. :)

I would never try to discourage a new mom, Jana!!

I just get tired of sayings that really do nothing but irritate me.

Oh here's another one I can't stand

"Just you wait....."

Still seeing red, by the way.

I wrote it for you.

And I.

No worries Carla. I remember my elementary and teenage years. My mother is one strong woman for putting up with us. :) I'm glad she put up with me... shes one of my best friends!

Glad you have that relationship with your mom, Jana!!
