A good ole’ fashioned butt kicking

My butt is getting kicked a little lately.

I’m not one to admit it. I like to be the Wonder Woman cape-wearing type who does it all — but I gotta say, this almost-37 week pregnant with a 3-year-old and a 20-month-old is a good ole’ fashioned butt kicking at times.

But you know what’s weird?

Even though I didn’t brush my teeth today until some time in the afternoon,

And even though I am tired of being the resident “waste” management expert (if one more toddler, baby, cat or dog poops on me today…)

And even though I live in sweatpants and average a shower every other day,

And waddle like a duck,

And just sent my husband out to the store for Key Lime Pie,

I am so very happy.

Because when it comes down to it, there is nothing more satisfying than feeling pooped from living purposefully.

(Notice I am talking about the feeling of being pooped — not being pooped on.)

Ah, motherhood. It’s a great, wonderful adventure.
