After a long night, I got to thinking about the things I have come to rely on now that I am a mom.  Things that a mostly didn’t even know existed before kids.

Here are my 10 Motherhood Must Have’s in no particular order.

1. 

   I could be worse.

   Coffee and Wine.  I originally didn’t even have these on my list because I figure it’s just assumed.  But we know what happens when we assume.  And for all y’all tisk tisking me, I know I could use exercise and yoga to get the same results but you go and tell the little ones mommy needs more time.  That’s what I thought.

2. Crock Pot.  I  not only use, but abuse my crock pot.  I fire it up at least 3 times a week.  Evening time is hectic enough without trying to put together dinner.
3. Lounge Pants.  I honestly don’t remember life before my velour comfy pants.  I have a different color for every day of the week, if I remember to put on clean ones.
4. White Trash Shower.  Deodorant, mouthwash, perfume and go.
5. Pony Tail Holders.  If I don’t have time to shower, chances are I’m not doing my hair either.
6. Diapers.com.  This guy is a genius.  I just click and order, then it arrives on my doorstep with free shipping two days later.  I don’t even have to feel guilty about being in lounge pants.
7. Crazy Glue.  Evidently I am the fixer of all things broken.  It’s quick and works…most of the time.
8. Griddle.  Bubba wants his pancake.  He wants it every morning and he wants it now.
9. Blender.  Bubba won’t eat vegetables.  Unless I puree them and hide them in smoothies.  The things I do in the name of nutrition.
10. Texting.  It’s my link to the outside world.  I can carry on an adult conversation of sorts even when the baby is screaming and Bubba is demanding his pancake.
