So this weekend I got to experience a little bit of what it is like to be a mommy. And let me tell you... I have no idea how moms do it! I swear I feel like all moms do is clean the kitchen, and cook and then clean the kitchen again.. and then change some poopy diapers, make sure the kids don't kill each other and then clean some more! Holy coww... Props to every mother out there.
Also, moms never sleep. Ever. at 3 in the a.m. I got up and took care of baby Syd and honestly felt like I got out of bed every 45 minutes after that! I probably didn't need to... cause she wasn't really crying or anything, more like whinning/whimpering? I don't know. But I think I was just paranoid and never really fell back asleep. But Travis slept through the whole thing! He wakes up and says "Well that was nice, Sydney didn't cry once!" Yeah, more like he never woke up once... And at like 9:30, sunday morning, I am making some French Toast, Scrmbled eggs and yummy strawberry smoothie gooodness for the chillins, and while I'm cooking up a storm I send Spencer to go shower so we can get to church on time... Travis somehow manages to sleep right through Spencer screaming at the top of his lungs because he got soap in his eyes. Spencer was in the shower connected to the bedroom Travis was sleeping in. Good one Trav... haha
He is going to be the greatest dad :)
But it's all good. One day I'll understand how moms run off of no sleep and are just doing stuff alllll day. It's unreal.
And there should be a mother's day every week, because moms need it. Man mom... You really were the best :) Thanks for being a tropper and putting up with me and my feistyness.
Moral of the story:
Kids are great...but I'm thinkin' I can wait to be a mom... I'm in no rush :)
I'll just keep living the college dream... aka studying and working... and postpone babies for some years down the road.
Life is good.

hahaha. I can just imagine this and it's making my life right about now. :) I seriously miss you!!!
Its waaaay harder than that! :) Specially if you raise the kid yourself. :P
You are so funny! It's unreal how I could always hear the kids cry in the night and have to wake Dad up if I needed help cleaning up a mess or something. Most of the time he slept through everything. He would kindly bring the nursing baby into the bedroom at 5:30 am after I'd already been up once or twice.... those were the days.... now I just lose sleep when I worry and can't shut my mind off. Love you so much!! You learned alot about LIFE this weekend.
