What This Mom Does

Moms hide the "good" chocolate from the kids, usually in the freezer
Moms abandon their culinary aspirations and rely on a repertoire of chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, mini carrots and the occasional delicacy that is corn dog
Moms get some unexpected "me" time and aren't sure what "me" likes to do anymore... but they are sure it isn't grocery shopping or laundry
Moms turn over in bed in the middle of the night to find a small face inches from theirs
Moms try to read books and spend most of the time re-reading what they have already read as it's been so long in between
Moms try not to laugh when a two year old tells the barking dog to "shut it!" or a four year old tells them they need to "fix the damn door."
