1. From the day you find out you are pregnant with your first child to the day you die, you will never sleep through the night.
2. Once you become a mom, your needs are always met last, if ever.
3. You do not get a day off from your 24/7/365 job. You cannot call in sick. You don't get a lunch break. And the customer seems to think they are always right, even when you know they are not, and they LOVE to exert their power over you.
4. Most days, you will walk around in your grubbies and no makeup. Some days, you'll be lucky to get a shower.
5. All of your clothes will have a mark of one of your children - a tear, a spit up stain, marker, etc.
6. Your body will start to sag because you won't be able to exercise as you once did.
7. You will share part of every meal with one of your children.
8. You will develop a tolerance to the smell of vomit, urine, poop, and any other unearthly secretion that comes out of your children.
9. You will sometimes cry for no good reason and wonder where all your dreams and hopes have gone to.
10. Your children will be the greatest source of joy you could possibly imagine and at times when you think that you are ready to throw in the towel, walk out, and give up, they will be your greatest salvation by using small words of truthful kindness and tiny acts of pure love.
