Things I Never Thought I'd Say // Parenting Quotes

Parenting is no joke. There are things that books could never even warn you about, because then no one would do it (kidding. sort of). Sometimes I hear myself say something and I stop and say a silent thankful prayer that there is no one else around to witness the absurdity. And that there's no hidden cameras around to document the ridiculous antics that come with parenting small kids (like when I tried to dead lift my 5 year old into his bed, which is a top bunk, when he was having a meltdown the other day and wouldn't listen. Let's just say I clearly need to work out more).

I like to keep a journal of all the cute and funny things my kids say, but today I wanted to share a list of the absolutely ridiculous thing that have come out of MY mouth. I think it should be more than clear from this list that I live in a house of boys...since most of these have something to do with "peepees" and poop. Lovely. Enjoy! And special thanks to my bestie Courtney for offering a few hysterical contributions to this list.
