Thursday Thirteen



Thirteen Things About Dana

Thirteen things I never thought I would do.
1.  Hold a child while she vomited in my lap.

2.  Have more than one child.

3.  Use cloth diapers.

4.  Home school.

5.  Sew.  Anything.  Ever.  After working in my mother's sweat shop, the height of life was going to be   NOT SEWING ANYTHING.
6.  Be a stay at home mom.

7.  Can, bake or cook anything that was more complicated than macaroni and cheese.  But its hard to teach a kid to do something until you know how yourself.

8.  Eat after another person.  Especially when snot is draining down their little nose.  But what's a mom to do when a two year old thrusts his doughnut in her face, inviting to share?

9.  Own a glass coffee table.  Still not sure how my husband talked me into that one.

10.  Garden.  But the best way to teach a child about botany is to start gardening.

12.  Hold a sick child so long my arms fall asleep and worry more about waking him than saving my arms.

13.  Love another person this much.

Wow, what a cool list. Sounds like there are lots of things you do all in the name of your own flesh and blood. I'm not a mom yet and I'm just curious what I will do when that time comes.

I make it a point never to eat anything my children have touched. I love them, but I have to make sure I live long enough to raise them! :) My list is up! http://whiskeytalking.blogspot.com/2006/01/thursday-thirteen-anti-pop.html

Jan. 13, 2006 - Bloging with my morning coffee....

Posted by heresseven
Your site is nice to visit with my morning coffee.
We got a GLASS TABLE too, and I don't know how my hubby talked me into it either! I'm trying to figure out a way to remove it.....ours even has nice sharp corners and metal legs!

It's amazing how much character children can give you eh?
Blessings,

Love your list! I dont have children of my own yet, but I believe that they really change parents in a lot of ways. :)

Have a great weekend!

About Me

"Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude."--Alexis de Toqueville
