After having had my fourth child, these are things I have learned are not so bad:
- Ready-made frozen pie crusts
- Disposable diapers
- Not doing all of the recommended activities in my oldest daughters math curriculum. Amazing concept! She still gets what she needs to learn. Took me long enough to figure that one out. Ahem.
- Paper plates. I heart paper plates.
- Charlie and Lola.
- Wrinkled clothing. Smooth, neat clothing is so overrated.
- Overdue library books. I haven't had one yet, but it is going to happen. I can just tell. And amazingly enough, I don't think I'll be any nearer to a prison cell.
- Hot dogs. (Actually, yes, hot dogs are still gross. Eww. But man, they are just so easy!)
- Pancake mixes.
- Sam's Club
- My Maryjane-style Crocs. Did you know you can wear them to church, too? I know. I know. I think I just heard some people gasp in horror. I have not yet worn them to church, but, like the overdue library books, I know it is going to happen. I also heart my Crocs.
- Dirty floors.
- 15 passenger vans. I can tell it is in my future.
- FLYlady. I am now a flybaby.
Now that I have divulged all of my deepest, darkest secrets to you, share with me what you learned after having your child(ren).

Amen to all of the above! I've learned sometimes the TV is a good baby sitter, like when I really need to take a shower.
ok as a mom of 7 who prides herself on certain things i must say, a hot dog in front of the tv works well!! lol
and i have been known to yell"first one asleep wakes up to a piece of candy"!
bribery-20 cents time alone at nite with hubby-priceless
Amen, Sister! ;) Paper plates can be one of the best inventions for busy mamas. Mary Jane crocs actually sounds really cute and cozy! Wearing them to church might not be too bad. lol ;) I am so loving disposable diapers, right now, too!
heehee! LOVE your list! I have a pair of brown mary jane crocs that i wear to church! Ha! It took me forever to do it but now I just don't care! They are so comfy! I heart paper plates too!!
Here, Here!!! :)
I heart paper plates, too. I've also learned the world won't end if I buy bottled barbecue sauce instead of making my own. And that pre-roasted whole chicken from the grocery store is pretty darned good on days when it's getting dark out and I've completely forgotten to think about dinner ;)
