Autopilot

Never a dull moment I always say when asked how I do it all with 4 kids. The truth is I really don’t know how I do it all. There is no playbook on parenting. The good Lord gives you babies, you buy diapers. That cute baby stage, endless sleepless nights….. You spend all that time teaching them to stand up and talk and then you go oh my gosh, I wish you would just sit down and hush! You can judge that comment, but you all know it is true. I say the best way I can sum up how I do it all is…. I am on autopilot! My nights are the same, my mornings are the same. MOM, MOTHER, MOMMY, MOMMA!!!! They all start to sound the same and I lost count on how many times I hear it a day. I am the snack opener, the butt wiper, the booboo fixer, the friend mender. I wear many hats and most moms do. But wait….what is this new found self-love movement??? Do baths with my toddler playing with my bath water count? Does going to the bathroom for 2 minutes of peace and my 4 year old trying to wipe my butt count? The truth is… parenting is hard but so worth it in the most interesting ways. Most days we are just on autopilot…then you get a curveball!
