things I didn't know before I became a mother...

That my children would not be able to hear my voice when I ask them to "come along" "hurry up" "get in the car" "put on their shoes" "eat their dinner" "get in the bath" or "listen to their mother!" etc...etc... I did not realize they would wander off and pretend I don't exist much of the time.

but...

as soon as I am on the phone, reading and/or responding to an email or having a bath they are all ears, under foot and within arms reach instantaneously without question!

On a side note...
I also learned today that because my six year old does not seem to understand the concept of "mommy needs 5 minutes" I will now have to explain shaving the bikini line!!

seriously not winning this game today folks.
