This post makes me chuckle.  Is there someone up there laughing at me?  i was going to talk about how Kelsey didn’t want Seanto go to work because she wasn’t feeling good and didn’t want to take care of baby Etta.  Guess what. Yesterday, i wish i could just curl up in bed and stay there because i wasn’t feeling well at ALL.  Hence, this post is a little late….sorry to all of you who may have been waiting.  i wish Kevin could have stayed home!  Unfortunately, we like to eat and have a place to call home (call us crazy).  With Kelsey and Sean i was surprised at how they changed.  i expected Kelsey to give it a good effort and was surprised at how fast she caved.  On the opposite end i was shocked that the guy who kept calling Etta “it” ended up staying home and was amazing with her.  Etta’s mommy gave Kelsey some great advice all of us mommies need to take to heart on those days we feel like failures.  When we fail, we can’t just ask someone to take our kids away (i guess you COULD however, i don’t think foster care needs anymore kids.  Not to mention how scared they would be forever.).  All we can do is sincerely say “I am so sorry and I will do better next time”.

Another amazing turn around was Kelly.  i know she is young, however, i really think motherhood suites her.  Scary thought i know!!  It goes back to the debate of young and poor or older and more stable (i opted for young and dumb.  does that count??).  She jumped in and did spectacular!  She even had dinner made when Austin came home.  For the girl who didn’t want to wear the pregnancy suit because it was heavy and made her look fat, to being June Cleaver, all i can say is WOW!

i thought it was great that some of the “daddies” decided to stay home while the “mommies” worked.  What a way to break the stereotype!  There are some amazing SAHD who don’t get the respect they deserve.  It goes back to that other argument women have been having for many years now.  SAHM versus working mama.  i just say, can’t we all get along?  Some of the mommies i have talked to express guilt.  If you are one of those mommies i say stop it!  If you are a SAHM who looks down on those working mamas, stop it!  We are all women doing the best we can.  Ok, i will get off my soap box now:)

Cheers to all you mommies out there who put in long nights and still get up and go about your day.  To all you who have had your head in a toilet (if it’s because you partied to hard, weeellll….haha)while your children look on asking when lunch is.  Once when i was pregnant, i heard my at the time 2 1/2 year old mimicking me in the living room.  It’s hard to throw up and laugh at the same time.  They take some serious work and sacrifice, BUT well worth every moment!!

Here’s a quick 2 minute catch-up if you missed this last week.

If they thought babies were hard………
