Motherhood is a Dirty Job But I’m Happy to do It

This week’s Monday Listicle is about jobs. In thinking about all the jobs I’ve had in my life, the most challenging (and most rewarding) has hands down been motherhood. It’s challenging, dirty, exhausting and amazing.

5 Gross Things I’ve Done Since Taking This Job as Mama

1.) Had to wash my mouth out at 2:30 a.m. because a tiny 3-month-old projectile-vommitted into my mouth. Ah, the joys of learning on the job.

2.) Gone into the office with spit up on my blouse. And poop on my skirt.
Thankfully, my co-workers either didn’t pay attention or were too nice to tell me I literally looked like crap.

3.) Been peed on, pooped on and covered in pureed peas. All in the same day.
Second shower anyone?

4.) Chased a toddler around the house after he removed his pamper and smeared poop all over himself and the hardw0od floor.

5.) Walked around Target with snot in my hair.
He sneezed while on my lap, and I didn’t notice he sneezed in my hair.  Thank God my Target has a Starbucks in it.

5 Awesome Things I’ve Done Since Taking This Job as Mama

1.) Realized that there’s no better feeling than baby snuggles and baby kisses.

2.) Laughed so hard, I cried.

3.) Cried so hard, I laughed.

4.) Heard a tiny voice say, “lub you.”

5.) Fallen in love. Again.
