Tears of... joy???

So, a friend of mine updated with Facebook page by writing that she was so sad that her little baby was starting preschool in the Fall and what was she going to do, etc... Don't take this the wrong way but I couldn't wait for my son to start preschool. Okay - you can take it anyway you want... but even though I cried on my sons first day of preschool the tears were mostly because I felt like he was so grown up and quite frankly, it bothered me that I wasn't going to be in control of his life for four hours! So, my question is does it make you a bad mom to be excited about your wee ones being gone for a few hours a week? I'm thinking that it shouldn't!

Clear vs. Yellow...

So, you're hosting a playdate at your house and one of the moms calls to say her child has a runny nose... but it's clear. Do you let them come over despite the little snot nose, or tell the mom you can't take any chances?

To drink or not to drink...

... that is the question. When at a playdate, if the hostess offers say a mimosa or margarita, do you pass and opt for a latte or indulge in a morning bloody mary?

Too tired for....

The question of the day is: Are you too tired for s-e-x or do you make it a point to have intimacy with you spouse?

Breastfeeding bites....

Todays question of the day is:

"Why is it that every time your children awake all throughout the night, only moms can hear them?" I find that to be so strange....

Breastfeeding bites....

Welcome to breastfeeding bites! This blog will hopefully be an outlet for women and moms alike, to get and give advice while hopefully chuckling along the way. Why is it called breastfeeding bites you ask? Well, as a mother of two children I found it hysterical that while pregnant with my first born, when asking moms how breastfeeding was, all of the responses I received were positive. Such as, "it's so bonding, " "there's nothing I'd rather be doing, etc." It's hysterical because I could have thought of a million other things I'd rather be doing! Listen, I nursed both of my children, but I would never tell another soon-to-be-mom that being sleep deprived, having my nipples sucked on for hours until they bled, and did I mention being t-totally exhausted was wonderful... because it wasn't!! But, I have no regrets, because it did get easier and I was feeding my children from my body - which I think is a complete miracle. So, the format of this blog will always start with a thought or question of the day and then I leave it up to you, the reader, to start a discussion. If nothing else, this will be a great way to help each other out, complain about our... dare I say children, or maybe even your spouses.

So, the question of the day is, if you breastfed, did it bite or did you enjoy it? Be honest!!
