Originally I’d planned to write a beautiful post about my
newest grandchild. My first granddaughter. My oldest daughter has two boys, highly
active boys, and this third baby is a precious, little girl.
Unfortunately, the darling flower has decided to be shy and
stick around in Mama’s belly for ten days longer than she was supposed to. Thus,
I needed to go to Plan B for this post. Unfortunately, again, I didn’t have a
Plan B.
I decided to let other mothers everywhere write the post for
me. So here are some humorous quotes from moms. Because when you have children,
you have to make sure to laugh!
"No one told me I would be coming home in diapers,
too." – Chrissy Teigen
"Motherhood. It takes patience, humor and a lot of wet towelettes." — Unknown
“If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?” — Milton Berle
"Silence is golden. Unless you have kids. Then silence
is just suspicious." — Unknown
"I always say if you aren't yelling at your kids,
you're not spending enough time with them." – Reese Witherspoon
"I want my children to have all the things I
couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them." – Phyllis Diller
“The majority of my diet is made up of foods that my
kids didn't finish." — Carrie Underwood
"I’ve learned to use meditation and relaxation to
handle stress. Just kidding, I’m on my third glass of wine." — Unknown
“Why don't kids understand that their nap is not for them
but for us?” — Alyson Hannigan
"Like all parents, my husband and I just do the best we
can, and hold our breath, and hope we've set aside enough money to pay for our
kids' therapy.” — Michelle Pfeiffer
"A mother is the person you can always call to
see how long chicken lasts in the fridge."
— Unknown
"If at first you don’t succeed, try doing it the way
your mom told you to do it from the start." — Unknown
“The 2 y/o grabbed my cheeks, looked into my eyes, smiled
sweetly, leaned in close, and …coughed in my face. And that sums up
parenthood.” –Jenn H Scott
“Toddler: A small creature who is only hungry after you
throw away the food she refused to eat the first eighty times you offered it to
her.” -Hollow Tree Ventures
“There should be an energy drink name 6 AM toddler.” – Simon
Holland
“I don’t want to sleep like a baby, I want to sleep like my
husband.” — Unknown
“A two-year-old is kind of like having a blender, but you
don’t have a top for it.” — Jerry Seinfeld
“That moment when you go to check on your sleeping baby and
their eyes ping open so you drop to the floor and roll out of the room like a
ninja.” — Unknown
I love writing children and have been told I do them well. I
suppose after three of my own plus thirty years of teaching young elementary
school, I should know what they are like.
Here are my books that feature children:
Running
Target
A deadly game of cat and
mouse…
A price on
his head.
A family
to protect.
Getting
the goods on a mob boss won’t be easy,
especially
while he’s a running target.

Elusive
Dreams
Creating
a family might be the only way to heal two scarred souls...
An injured
Marine,
an introverted loner,
two
orphaned children needing a home.
Can they
create a perfectly imperfect family?

Broken
Dreams
True family is more than an image…
A new single dad.
An unconventional nanny.
A little boy in his own world.
Can she show them that family is more than an image?

OMG these made me laugh...and cry a little, too, because they are all true!!! Well done, sweetie.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Sometimes you have to improvise!! As a mother and a writer.
DeleteI love those quotes. Every one of them is accurate, isn't it? Great post, Kari. And pre-congratulations on your grandgirl!

DeleteLove the quotes. As you said, I enjoy using children in my writing. How the h/h react to children reveals a great deal about them. Thanks for an entertaining post!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love a great mom in a story but also really love when a guy is shocked by how much he enjoys children.
DeleteSympathies to your daughter. 9 1/2 months being pregnant is just wrong. Thanks for the giggles. All true.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Unfortunately all her children were late. Maybe why she can never get anywhere on time with them!!
