If you haven't liked them yet, pizza and Mac &
Cheese are your new favorite meals.

It doesn’t make you a bad mom to be completely giddy when away from your
children.

You really don't have to keep every
drawing and homemade card. So don't. But
don’t let them see you throw it out!

Reading a book becomes a near
impossibility even when all is quiet because your eyes will just involuntarily

These days there are TONS of seriously
educational TV shows made just for your child. Record them, buy them on DVD,
download them from the internet, put them into the queue in Netflix and
Hulu, and then allow your child to watch them for as long as they want. And tell the doctor they attend pre-school. (PLEASE
NOTE: I'm totally joking here, but seriously lighten up about the TV. They will
never have time for it once they start school.)

Baby wipes will be a staple in
your house for a lot longer than diapers.

Buy several plastic sheets for your
children's mattresses. Late night bed-wetting
will be much more manageable if you do.
69.
You will never appreciate your parents
more than the first time your child has the stomach
flu.

Having a child costs money. We all know
that. But has anyone ever told you how much your bill will be just
for BIRTHING the baby?? $$$$
