Some of you may have seen the trailer for the upcoming movie BabyMama. There is a scene where a mom asks her little boy "Is this poop or chocolate?" I just laughed my guts out and thought...that is me! That is my life! Some of you may have heard me talk recently about how I feel this statement perfectly sums up this stage of my life, both literally and figuratively. Some of what I do is pure poop. I will refrain from grossing you out about some of the disgusting things I have to do/clean up as a mother of three little children.
But so much of what I do is pure chocolate...reading bedtime stories with my own dramatic flare, getting smoochies, putting piggy tails in Heather's hair and listening to my children pray just to name a few. Today I was in my boys room and saw this mysterious smudge on the door jam of their closet. Hmmm...I thought. Mysteriously brown. (sniff) No smell. And I wondered...Is it poop or chocolate?

Man, that was a disturbingly beautiful post. Loved it!
Your brave, I would have just got out the cleanser and told myself it's chocolate!!!
I wish I could hear those stories you read. I love when you tell me about books you've read or a movie you like, you make things come alive. It's one of your many talents you got from your dad!!!
love mom
I clean up more poop than chocolate but I eat more chocolate than poop so I guess it evens out.
Love it! What a great parable, you should give a talk about that...hahahahaha. i adore you! Don't leave us, please.
I love that analogy! I've never heard of it before, but you have a hilariously good point! I love your blog!:-)
