MOTHERHOOD

I listed several items on Freecycle over the week-end. As a result, there were a number of people at my house throughout the day yesterday, picking up the items I had to give away.

It was only after several people had come and gone that I realized that one of my children was completely naked, except for his red cape.


A stranger pointed out the caped crusader, who was relieving himself on the driveway.


Motherhood is nothing if not humbling


 In other thoughts on mama life, I loved this NieNie video (click on the videos to see them full screen).


While I do not subscribe to the beliefs of the Mormon faith, I think her words here are applicable to anyone and her life is beautiful.





And while you are at it, watch this one too. I have 
watched it over and over and over again. 




Being a Mama is hard as heck, but man, 
what a privilege.

    one of my best memories is being an older sister and watching with amusement as my little brother escaped naked from the house much to my mom's panic. :) of course, i wouldn't think that was funny now. unless it was happening to someone else. *hee*
