Simply Honest Mom Confessions #2

My next installment of Simply Honest Mom Confessions!

#5- I couldn't let my kids cry it out...I wanted to, I tried, I failed miserably! Now I have an 8, 7, and 5 year old that end up in my bed every morning and I end up on the couch! That really escalated quickly let me tell ya....

#4- I hated Mommy groups...not my thing! I was constantly invited and when I finally asked what they did, they smiled at me and squealed, "We do CRAFTS!"

REALLY? Crafts? I'm a stay at home mom, I do crafts all day long! I had dried glue under my finger nails and glitter in places I can imagine only strippers would put it, crafting was the last thing I wanted to do!

#3- I've been a working Mom...I've been a stay at home Mom! I can personally tell you both situations have perks and down sides! Bottom line...Working Moms ROCK! Stay at Home Moms ROCK! No judgement here, if you're making it work, doing the very best you can and loving your kids, then you're a Rock Star!

#2- My kids have pooped in Kroger bags and peed in coffee cups, Gatorade bottles, and once in an old Trick or Treat bucket left in the mini van! Listen, when you get caught out and about with 3 very small kids and pulling over or finding a potty is out of the question then you become MacGyver Mommy and you work with what you've got!

FYI, I always carry hand sanitizer!

#1- This one is slightly embarrassing but in honor of keeping it real, I'll share. A couple years ago we still had a child who needed a pull-up at night, just in case. One night, we realized a little too late that we were out of pull-ups! Again, I had to tap into my MacGyver Mommy tricks! So I took a pair of her underwear and taped several Maxi-Pads into my child's underwear, thus creating a make-shift PULL-UP! I waited until she fell asleep to slip it on her and made sure to take it off before she woke up and freaked at the sight of this contraption her mother had put her in...but hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
