I posted a comment that if you don’t get involved in what your kids are doing, then someone else will. I look forward to the opportunity to explain the world to my kids. That is why talking at dinner or in the car is so important to me. Parents Beware…..Visit the site below or offer your own suggestions here.

The other night was a school night and Mommy Bacchus was working late, which caused me to balance the kids, dinner and bath time on my own. Which is what most of us “Super” parents do every evening, but I paid attention to the lateness it took me to finally sit down and catch my breath. 10:45 pm was the time and I still had a couple of hours of things to do and should have been getting ready for bed during at that time. In those brief few minutes of solitude I reflected on how our lives changed when we had kids. So you know what that means…..I made a list.

Things that change when you have kids:

• You rate restaurants on the cleanliness of the bathrooms and availability of a decent changing station.
• You watch movies on Pay Per View or DVD
• You watch the Academy Awards show without seeing any of the top movie contenders
• You don’t mind going to work with spit up stains on your clothes
• Of course, say goodbye to sleeping in on the weekends, weekdays, vacation days, sick days…..
• You accept that your house is in a constant mess
• You shop at Sam’s/Costco/Walmart weekly
• You actually run out of bread and milk before it goes bad
• Lastly, after having a newborn, you learn to sleep during work conf calls and put the phone on mute so they don’t hear you snoring.

Feel free to add any of your own…..

I’ve always wanted to be able to share some of my tunes with everyone so I am trying this out for now.
