Confession #792

Most times, at the end of the night, I just want them to be in bed. It's usually been some kind of longggggg day for one reason, or another, and I just want my time. But sometimes, we're reading Quran together, at the end of the night, and they're cooperating and reading along, I just love snuggling with them,  kissing them, and holding them close. Then my older one starts to be uncooperative, and I'm back to wanting them to sleep as soon as possible. Ahhhhh motherhood...

Confession #498

I'm becoming my mother, the following phrases can be heard coming out of my mouth in an alarmingly regular pattern:

"I'm going to count to three!"

"Am I talking to myself???!!"

"Clean this mess up or we're not going anywhere!"

"See what happens when you don't listen to Mama, you get hurt."

"How many times have I told you...?"

"What did I just say?"

The list goes on and on...
