Real Moms (as opposed to those fake, plastic moms)

I have been tagged by Everyday Superhero (who, by the way, is the mom of three young children with one on the way (due in August, like me), and is a great read).

My 'assignment' is to give you my take on what "real moms" do.

**************************************************************
*Real Moms can clean up any mess with spit.

*Real Moms always have two staples in their purse: Kleenex and gum.

*Real Moms know how to safely maneuver a car into a parking space next to the cart return (a space coveted by moms everywhere) while simultaneously holding a bottle in a screaming baby's mouth in the backseat AND spanking a toddler's knee.

*Real Moms know exactly what song to sing when their child requests "the sun song", "the scratch song", or "the chicken song".

*Real Moms can sing loud enough, and hug tight enough, to make thunderstorms lose their scariness.

*Real Moms can make a grilled cheese sandwich that is to die for.

*Real Moms often have only one leg / armpit shaved. They're too distracted to remember that they actually have TWO legs / armpits...

...but Real Moms CAN remember the date and time of every birthday party and doctor's appointment, and they can always tell you which day is their child's snack day, which letter of the alphabet preschool is on for show and tell day, and exactly which couch cushion their child's favorite toy is under.

*Real Moms are very, very tired. Would someone please feed them and put them to bed?
