Ok. There are many things that change after one becomes a mom. This is being a mom to a human being. Not counting being a mom to a pet animal since you can still somewhat ignore the poor pet. Well, after your bundle of joy comes busting out in front of your eyes, you start to develop many supernatural characteristics that you didn't know was in you before.
Just to name a few:
1. You can multitask like crazy, but your boss seems to always demand more.
2. You develop a way different love/hate relationship towards poo from your monkey. That is, if you see too little of it, you're so happy to welcome it into your arms when it finally comes back. Now, if it starts coming back too much, you start to wonder why you were praying for it to come back.
3. You work so hard on preparing meals for your little boss, just to have it tossed towards the ground the minute it entered those tini tiny lips. You just didn't know what hit you eh! Now, your little boss tells you you can do better than that. So, away you go next time again. God help you if you have a big boss that has their own opinions too.
4. Who in the world would think one can live on so little sleep and still be able squeeze out so much energy (in the form of a high pitched voice and bright big smile) to entertain the little one.
5. As time goes on, we get the chance of a life time to play different roles/jobs at the same time:
- nurse (for kissing it better)
- cook (catering to different moods)
- chauffeur (to and fro... to and fro...to and fro...TO THE POWER OF INFINITY AND BEYOND)
- maid
- disciplinarian
- playmate
- household budget watchdog
Now these wonderful roles may not apply to you yet, but you can welcome them with open arms as you monkey grows....(now..may I add ATM machine for future references).
You're thinking, why in the world am I highlighting all this when I've been a mom for more than 2 yrs.
Although we are superheros in a way, us moms are still not invincible because I'm currently experiencing symptoms of being "sick like a dog"!!!!!!! We are only human. hee hee!!

Glad to see you started blogging again! Although how you manage to write with 2 young kids is beyond my understanding. I totally agree with the "sleeping so less but still manage to find energy". Aidan has been waking up either VERY early or in the middle of the night EVERY SINGLE DAY now. I dont know whether is teething or dreaming that is bugging him. hhhhhhaaaaiiiii...
anyways, hats off to you, the almighty superhero mom ~you bosses are very proud of you! (you are being paid back with lots of hugs and kisses from the most adorable creature in this world *winkwink*)
