You Know You're A Mother Of Boys When...


I thought I'd start off the new year with a bit of humor. It is humor, yet truth, and it is near and dear to my heart. With that said...

You know you're a mother of boys when...

You visit someone else's home and use the bathroom and before proceeding with anything else, you check behind the drawn shower curtain to make sure there are no jokesters lurking.

You spend a whole afternoon grocery shopping... only to have the food disappear before your very eyes within 24-48 hours.

You dread cleaning the bathroom. I know, nobody loves cleaning the bathroom, but can I just say that boy bathrooms are SOOOOO much worse than any other average bathroom?? UGH... YUCK!

You find a half dozen rocks and rubber bands in the washing machine.

Febreeze spray becomes your new best friend.

You find a "sports cup" in the cup holder of your mini van. This isn't the kind of cup to drink out of , people.

There are guns of every sort (rubber band, bee bee (sp?), wooden, Nerf, cap, etc.), hand cuffs and even whips lying around the sofas, on the kitchen counters, on the bathroom floor (hey, you never know when an unexpected intruder will interrupt) you get the idea, right?

And finally...

You know you're the mother of boys when... You go to bed at night feeling like a princess because your boys sure do know how to make you feel loved and appreciated for all the "boy stuff" you put up with on a daily basis.

I love my boys... they're the best!

I'm worried about the small live animals that will come inside my house inside of jeans pockets. I'm petrified of raising a boy. Please don't change your number. I'll be calling you A LOT!!!
Love you guys!
