Because of You...

Because of you... I have these children following me around all day asking for snacks.

Because of you... I go to bed at night with a clean kitchen and wake up to dishes in the sink, bread crumbs on the floor, and warm milk on the counter.

Because of you... I drive a minivan.

Because of you... I go to little league games on Friday night instead of the bar.

Because of you... I buy things like nursing pads instead of a string bikini.

Because of you... I have stretch marks.

Because of you... I have a "mom" haircut instead of the long flowing sexy hair I used to have.

Because of you... I have hemorrhoids from childbirth.

Because of you... I have been naked and screaming in pain as a roomful of people watch me push.

Because of you... I clip coupons.

Because of you... I know who Dora the Explorer is.

Because of you... I no longer have perky boobs.

Because of you... I know what channel is Disney and Nickelodeon.

Because of you... I get sloppy ice cream kisses.

Because of you... I have had gum in my hair.

Because of you... I have gone out in public with spit up on my shirt and Barbie stickers on my butt.

Because of you... I have not slept through the night since 1994.

Because of you... I sound more and more like my mother everyday.

Because of you... I know how to remove ticks from little bodies.

Because of you... I eat more hot dogs than fillet Mignon.

Because of you... I have not used the toilet in peace in years!

Because of you... I have my babies.

Because of you... my life is overflowing with love.

Because of you... it is all worth it!

~Happy Father's Day~
