10 things that I learned from having kids

1. The little things in life matter.....like rocks and dirt.Or even a smile and hug!
2. Staring your kids down, really does hurt their feelings.
3. Adding bubbles to the bath make for an adventure.
4. Even in the roughest days a kiss from your kids really do make  me feel better.
5. Generic wipes suck...rather pay for the expensive ones!
6.Who would  have thought someone 28 years younger than me, could push my buttons!
7. Having daughters makes me understand the love that I have with my own mom, and look forward to that same relationship with my own kids.
8. Sometimes I need to have a breakdown, just to get through the day.
9. One kid was sooo easy, two was a learning experience,three was challenging....trying to figure out what 4 will bring!
10. Couldn't imagine my life with out my girls. I wouldn't be the person I am today without them.

This week

On a blog that I follow they recently did a week of 10.Every day,sometimes twice or three times a day they would have random list of ten. Some were inspiring others where just funny.I decided to try it out. If you have an idea for a "list of ten" let me know and I will add it to the week,i promise you comment on a list that you want to read about I will write about it. Let see what we can come up with!

MY birthing plan

Last week  I was sitting peacefully by myself,watching my children play at the splash pad. When along comes a lady with a little boy. She sits right next to me,  I mean uncomfortably close. I am already bothered  with this lady....seriously there were tons of spots to sit and I get her in my lap!!

I could tell this lady was pregnant like she obviously knew that I was. This is where it all began.
This was our conversation....
lets call her Marsha.....

Marsha: "How far along are you?"
Me: 7 months (to be nice, I asked) And you?
Marsha: 5, with another little boy. Do you know what you are having?
Me: This will be my fourth girl.
Marsha: Ohhh, your husband must be so disappointed?

(first off...screw you Marsha)

Me: He doesn't mind.
Marsha: do you have your birth plan written out yet?
Me: Excuse me?
Marsha: You don't have a birth plan?
Me: yes, I plan on having a baby!!!
Marsha: ohhh...you should have one. Me and my husband decided to have no medication, When I get to the hospital I want to sit on a birthing ball to help calm me. We are going to have Josh Grobin playing in the background,  no one but me and my husband,well including the doctors,will be in the room with us.
You should really have a plan.

Good thing (well not really) that Pierce got knocked over by an older kid. I ran up to pick her up and packed up the girls to go home.

ahhh Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.....

First off: My husband doesn't get a choice in whether or not I receive medication or not. Lets be honest,I'm part Mexican.....If I had no medication I'd be sounding like the other ladies down the hall...you know the ones without insurance and have the whole family in the waiting room munching on tacos and burritos! Those ladies are screamers, screaming things that I don't even know what they are saying. But it must be funny if my dad is laughing.

Second: Isn't rolling on balls how I got into this mess......

Third: There will be no music in my room. Is this supposed to calm you, cause if so then crank the Eminem or Dr.Dre. That would get me pushing!

Fourth: There is nothing more awesome in the world then to have a child, but to be able to watch someone watch you have a baby....its pretty cool too. I would love to be able to experience someone close to me have a baby....so I love returning the favor.

So....maybe that's my plan!
