Before I got married and had kids…
1. My kids would never throw a fit in a store.
2. I would never have cobwebs in my house.
3. My drawers and closets would always be organized.
4. I would never wear sweats to bed (and certainly not ones that don’t match!)
5. I would always be organized and have a to do list so that I can get everything done that I need to each day.
6. I would fix my hair every day and put on make-up. (make-up?)
7. I would never put my spit on my thumb to get food off of my child’s face.
8. I would always remember the birthdays of our extended family. (I’m lucky to remember the names of my immediate family.)
9. I would never yell at my kids.
10. I would never leave dirty dishes on the counter over night.
11. My kids would never wear clothes that don’t match.
12. I would not have picky eaters.
13. My kids would never have crusty noses.
(Um, before you go check out other Thursday Thirteen lists, can you hand me a kleenex so I can spit on it and wipe my little guy’s nose?)

ROFL, me, too! The other one I thought a lot: oh, I’ll never do such and such like my mother did. Yeah, right.
Have a great weekend!

me too. I had NO idea. I can’t believe how snottily I would look down my nose at some poor mom in the grocery store. I learned quickly.
Just this week I was at Kinko’s with one child yelling,
“I need to go POOP! I’m going to POOP my PANTS!”
and the other child yelling,
“I’m hungry! I want to eat food! I’m soooo HUNGRY!”
It took me like 15 min to send a fax.

ROFL!! Ah, how we all thought alike. Then reality set in. My “I will never have a thumb sucker” finger sucking almost four year old is sitting next to me, wondering why I’m laughing so hard.
