Thanks for all your comments on the last post, we have been doing some things that were suggested. I got a book awhile ago called "Everyday Parents Raising Great Kids". Every Sunday we talk about a few of the questions asked in the book, it's our (FDT) Family Discussion Time. We talk about the needs of each child. I think it has helped our family but as you said Shauntae you loose yourselves in being a Mom and Dad. Everyone keep commenting I love to read them! So as I thought about being a mommy I thought of the top five reasons that being a Mother is the dirtiest job! If you can add to the list please do.
1. You have to clean throw up in the middle of the night..... multiple times.
2. You have to change diapers....dealing with blow outs, diarrhea, and small objects that have been accidentally swallowed.
3. Wiping snotty noses.....again multiple times
4. Potty training.....enough said
5. Constantly being wiped on, sneezed on, coughed on, and spit up on.
We are strange creatures!
We will glue a head on a cheap dollar store doll multiple times to appease a crying child.
We will dig through the garbage to find a small toy accidentally thrown away.
Then we cry over the amount of love we feel for these beautiful and wonderful gifts!

I'd like to add "6 cracked eggs and a quart of grape juice on light carpet" to your list.
Oh, and then there's the time my oldest covered his brothers entire head (hair, nose, cheeks, and all) with Desitin. Desitin is waterproof, you know, making it next to impossible to get it out of hair.
And let's not forget the time my youngest dumped an entire bottle of bodywash on the carpet. As you try to scrub or clean it--it grows. Their bedroom looked more like a bathtub full of bubbles.
Not as good as Felicia's examples, but how about:
- crayons and walls and
- mud puddles
How about buying an area rug to cover stubborn carpet stains.
Letting a 3 yr old and a 5 yr old invade your bed because you're too tired to make them go back to their room.
Sneakily throwing away toys from McD's.
Convincing the kids they don't want a friend B-day party...not telling them it's because it's too much work for mom! :)
Finding out halfway through the day that you have the kids' breakfast on the back of your pants.
