Baby Bomb

I've found that nothing can be more motivating than knowing you have a ticking time bomb set to go off at any moment- It could be in an hour or it could be in two minutes, YOU never know. All you know is that infant currently has his eyes closed and your arms are suddenly free to do whatever they please!

Suddenly your mind is racing- all of those things that need to get done that you've been thinking about through each feeding, diaper change and while rocking an infant with some unknown aliment are all possibilities of what you can do with these empty hands! You find yourself so excited you scramble to decide what to do first. In an instant, it seems, 10 minutes have elapsed while you completed some of the little things done, like using the restroom, brushing your teeth and shoving some food down your throat. Finally, you have a chance to focus on one of the tasks you've been hoping to complete, you get everything out and ready to begin when the bomb goes off and your house is filled with the cries of that precious creature you so happily brought into the world a mere week or two ago. 

Did I paint the picture accurately? Did I miss anything? How about night life?- The wonderful evenings with your child where you stumble feebly to his place of distress to attempt to quiet him. Then, when you do manage to fulfill all of his needs and gain the prize of silence and slumber, you only awake an hour later wondering why he isn't crying and feeling the urge to check to ensure he's still breathing (which you do before falling back to sleep).

Oh the wonders of life as a new mother! Forget the idea of cooking, cleaning or having any sense of personal hygiene (yuck, I know)! I anxiously wait for my husband to get home so he can spend some "quality" time with our son and I can have free hands long enough to clean and cook! But wait, who goes to the grocery store? Yay, another thing that Mommy can do when Daddy gets home!

Okay, so I may be making it sound horrible, but hopefully those of you who have children can relate and find some of this amusing, and hopefully, those of you without children aren't completely deterred by this posting! 

In all honesty, in spite of the constant demand of my time, it truly is a wonderful time in my life. I have this adorable baby whom I love with all of my heart and actually do find his little cries cute at times, but his facial expressions even more lovable. 

I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Wifawesome

	I stumbled across something I found terribly hilarious this evening on Urban Dictionary. It defines the exact type of woman my husband was looking for in his 9 year search for the "perfect wife." The type of woman he was looking for can be defined in one simple word- wifawesome. What? Never hear the word before?    Well, according to urbandictionary.com  wifawesome is defined as "Someone who is a little Miss Susie Homemaker, who is awesomely funny and good-looking, and would make an awesome wife, but is not yet one. Wifawesomes tend to enjoy baking cookies, taking care of others, cooking, cleaning, and arranging fresh flowers. They love children and animals and always have painted toenails. Most people feel extremely comfortable around a wifawesome because they have warm, welcoming personalities. They enjoy sex (but are not slutty) and tend to make men melt, yet remain single. Wifawesomes are smart and resourceful. It is a common physical trait for a wifawesome to have dimples and a sparkling smile."  FYI- Miss Susie Homemaker=Molly Mormon As I read this definition to my husband, he laughed aloud- agreeing completely with my analysis. So tell me, are you searching for a wifawesome or were you one? ;)

Motherhood- An Essential Component to Molly Mormonhood

Okay so obviously I have a lot of work to do on becoming a Molly Mormon, seeing as how it is coming up on a year since I "started" this blog and I only have ONE posting! lol... Okay I'll get better now, I promise! How do you gain any followers if you don't actually post!? (fortunately I'm mostly talking to myself at this point)

Well, since my last post a whole lot has happened! I actually have made some progress toward molly mormonhood! For instance, I am now the proud mother of a two week old son! (told you I've been busy)... So now I get to spend my wonderfully long days loving and caring for my little scream monster -and trust me, he IS a scream monster! So my postings will hopefully become more frequent with only minor hiccups of caring for my infant. :) 

In addition, my husband was just offered a promotion, which will require us relocating to another state! So now my already long days and sleepless nights will be pushed to their max with the need to coordinate packing, moving, unpacking and acclimating to a whole new city, state, environment and climate altogether! Sounds like fun huh!?

Needless to say, I should have plenty to blog about!
