When you're a parent...

You can make a bottle in five seconds flat and put a bib on your baby in less than two.

You appreciate the meaning of the word "nap" regardless of it's length.

Diapers don't scare you, neither does getting what's inside of them all over yourself.

Time is fleeting. One day you children are three weeks old, and the next day they are three years old.

The definition of a "clean house" is everything but kid paraphenalia off the floor and thrown into their own room on their floor.

Your bed is never made (if it is, you're insane, don't you have better things to do?)

My bed is almost always made.

Your second joy (after your kids, of course) is a 7 minute shower in which you can wash your hair, body, and shave your legs all while having a conversation with one of your children who is reading a book on your bathroom floor...

When you're a parent, your bed is always full... and usually so is your heart.

Even the most doubtful of people have their lives change in a single moment.

When you're a parent, the things you thought would look totally stupid on a less than ten pound body turn out to be the cutest and they only get better as your kids get older... until you reach puberty.

You're convinced that your child is the cutest, smartest, funniest thing... ever. It's true.

You find yourself talking about them, always.

And so, that my friends... is just an insight. I have a quiet moment, so I should probably go to bed now. Peace out.
