Selective Amnesia

Mother nature always has a way of balance. See in nature we must procreate to ensure the continuation of our species ( HEY wake up this isn't a science lesson I promise!). In human mothers this urge to continue having children is called selective amnesia. You look back and in your head there is this perfect movie reel of all the most wonderful moments in your child's life, you know frolicking through the park and the cute little comments and you think "okay I am ready for another." STOP! Think how long was your movie moment a couple of minutes...yeah now try and summon the real video of what really went on. The talking back, the temper tantrums in the middle of the store, the food throwing, the screaming matches....see how much longer that sentence was. I bet you can't even pull up all the bad moments. Now an optimist will tell that is because the good moments outweigh the last...well I have some bad news the optimist found some really good drugs that you are not privy to!

Right now my children are in this current stage called "I think I am a teenager so I am trying to drive you crazy!" Ethan and I have fights about everything, I mean it seems that even breathing causes a fight. Let me tell you the older they get the worse they get! Until one day you find yourself being out logiced by them! Oh yeah it will happen and there is nothing you or your college degree can do to stop it.

As you are reading this blog you may ask yourself why I have three kids...I have to again refer back to the selective amnesia thing. Because despite the fact that I spend the better part of my days screaming and arguing with all three of my kids, in a year I guarantee that I will look at sweet baby pictures and start to feel that tug at my heart string again and I will look back through my blogs and think "OH it wasn't that bad I was exaggerating."( As if I would ever do that!). So this blog is sorta of for the future me. IT REALLY WAS THAT BAD! LISTEN! MOTHER NATURE IS TRICKING YOU! But because I doubt that will work (gee I wonder why my kids are so stubborn) if you see in a year or two with four kids instead of three try and remember that I am not immune to mother nature and her sneaky ways.

(Sorry about all my theories/paranoid delusions but my mind not unlike my mouth just wont shut up!)
