How The Hell…
How the hell do you get a kid who’s teething molars to open his mouth at toothbrushing time?
How the hell do you get a toddler to lay in a big bed instead of playing all night and/or freaking out?
How the hell do you get a toddler to stop freaking out when he wakes up alone, causing your poor sleep-deprived husband to have to sleep with him from 1:30 am on every night just to get some shut-eye?
How the hell do you make supper when your toddler gives up napping and you have a baby to nurse or bounce all afternoon?
How the hell do you get out of the house with everyone dressed and fed in time for work with two or more kids?
How the hell do you get back into real clothes when the workout clothes are getting old and the maternity clothes look stupid?
How the hell do you not eat the chocolate chips out of your freezer?
How the hell do you get a kid to take a bottle?
How the hell do you get your dog to stop barking at everything that moves in the park beside your house?
How the hell do you get a big bad dog to stop peeing on your floor because he’s too busy barking to pee outside?
How the hell do kids know when it’s nap time and take that as the time to take a huge crap in your room and then cry at the door?
Parenthood. Gotta love it!

I sleep with the toddler, she doesn’t nap, baby spends dinner hour in a sling while I cook, we’re trying giving the baby chocolate milk in a bottle (desperate times calls for desperate measures), there are no more chocolate chips left in my freezer - I ate them all, I traded my mat clothes for my friend’s fat clothes, my dog doesn’t bark, and I haven’t gone back to work yet - but I’ll answer that one in July!

Happy belated b-day! Here’s another: “How the hell are we supposed to remain sane through the parenting years.” Hehe.

I so know what you mean about the whole maternity pants thing! Wanna go for a walk?

One moment at a time … then it will all be a blur and your uterus will skip a beat every time you see a baby!

I’d sure love answers to those. The toothbrushing one especially.
Be wary of those frozen chocolate chips, though — I know someone who chipped a tooth on them!
