Mommyhood random thought
Enjoy life!
I saw this post today and I know it's just for fun. But did you realize that you can accomplish so much WITH your kids?
Lets look at this realistically.
1 & 6. Pee and shower alone, now it did take me many years to actually do this but lock the door. They'll get it.
2. Sleep 8 hours, instill a good sleeping schedule for them first. I highly recommend the no cry sleep solution for any age.
3. Hear myself think, honestly do you really want to? Well if you do remember that time for you is very important because if you don't you are not giving your kids the best either. Rather it's walking around the back yard after they've gone to bed or before they wake up or going for a relaxing hike during the day. Take time for you!
4. Wear non stretchy pants...again do you really want to? Most people I know don't. But I prefer real jeans myself. Get your self back in shape, it's important for your own health. A healthy you helps keep them healthy as well. Set good eating and exercise habits and chances are your little ones will have less of struggle with it when they are older because of it.
5. Drink hot coffee. This is a simple and fun one. I have three girls (two of wish are very much tomboys so it's not all princess). But we do tea parties on the regular. What is a tea party and how girly is it? It's not. In English gentlemen would regularly break for tea time as well. It's basically snack time. Pour them some tea or cocoa or whatever hot beverage you like in little cups, teach them to take their time (that's why I suggest always serving something warm). It's time to take a few breaths and enjoy your coffee.

The before list has a lot of travel involved which if you are able to do with or without kids, that's awesome. We Oregon(ized) it a bit though.
1. Climb Smith Rock, in fact, take the kids on lots of hikes, it builds both character and strong muscles. It will help you get into those "non-stretchy" pants.
2. Learn French, Spanish, German, Hebrew or any language. It's so much fun to do with the kids. Try a phrase a day. Common sayings you would use. Zeit zu gehen. It's time to go. Is something we use often. Duolingo is awesome for this and even the kids can use it.
3. Swim in the river or the Ocean, take the kids work those muscles and have a blast. Go down the rapids and pray you don't need to swim but have fun knowing you can.
4. Hike, hike everywhere. Download AllTrails app and find the nearest hike, make a list and tackle them all.
5. Ride a horse, go out to one of the many ranches and sign up for horse riding or volunteer at some of the places like healing reigns that use horses to help kids.
6. Run a marathon, well you can, you can totally do that with kids as well, run/walk marathons go on all the time. Practice, train, a little every day and take the kids with you. After they have gotten use to it you can all go and give it your best!
