10 Things I Wish I Did or Knew Before Having Kids

I decided to actually have an adult post for today. I love posting updates on Gracie and new pictures, but let's face it....sometimes we just need a little 'adult' time.

This is my sad attempt.....

5 Things I Wish I Did Before Having Kids

1. Slept more!! I'm talking 12 hours a night, getting up and making a huge breakfast and then either going back to bed for a few more hours or plopping myself down on the couch for some quality TV like a Girls Next Door Marathon or the Real World. Quality my friends
2. Showered more! I'm not talking about showering for cleanliness (although that's kind of a given). I'm talking about 30+ minute showers just for the heck of it. You know the kind I'm talking about...the ones where you use every salt scrub, body scrub, face scrub, body wash, and foot treatment known to man. And then get out and slather up with about a zillion different body butters. Ahhh, heaven I tell you!
3. Get regular pedicures.
4. Spa days! Can you tell I could really use some pampering?!
5. Sat in my backyard and enjoyed a nice glass of wine in the summer (or a bottle. Hey, who's counting?)

5 Thins I Wish I Knew Before Having Kids

1. It is possible to love someone so much that it actually makes your heart ache.
2. Sleeping through the night is NOT a given.
3. The highlight of my day would be singing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and I would LIVE for the cute reaction that song brings.
4. You really do think YOUR kid is the cutest thing in the world.
5. Adding a "Y" on the end of any word makes it sound cute. Say it with me: nappy, poopy, spitty-up-y, snack-y, lunch-y.

OK, that'a all for now. Time to give the wee one a little snacky.
