Lessons Learned

So, I am a big fan of a show called "Jon and Kate Plus 8" on TLC. It is a reality show about a family with twin girls and sextuplets. That's right.... at one point this couple had 2 six yr olds and 6 two yr olds... yikes!! Now, I've found that watching this show has made me into a better person. Sound ridiculous? Here's what I glean from the show~

- If she can raise 8 that are so close in age, I can definitely do 1 :)

- Thou shalt not treat thy husband like crap. Kate is VERY nit picky in a way that I have a tendency to be (on a smaller scale) and I gotta say; seeing it on tv makes you realize how awful it is to pick apart everything your mate does and how much it tears them down.... no thanks!

- I have no excuse for not being able to keep my house clean. If Kate has time to clean her kitchen floor 4 TIMES A DAY, then I should be able to find the time to tidy up.

- Did I mention that raising 1 compared to what she does looks ridiculously easy?

- Organization is key to not losing it as a mother.... so is having a lot of help :)

- Finally, kids are a blessing.... even when they make you want to bang your head against a wall :P

Anyhoo, on a different note, last night I went to the registration tea for MOPS (Mothers of pre-schoolers) at Kingsland and I am really excited about it starting up! It looks like it is going to be great for meeting other Katy moms and making friends that are available to hang out during the day and have play dates. Yay for MOPS!
