Don’t Judge Me By The Family Stickers on My Minivan -Motherhood Without Warning

I'm one of those people. I drive a minivan with a sticker portrayal of our family, well, sorta, our family. You know the family stickers. You can get them in stick drawings or zombies, colors, I even saw a Pac-Man family one time. It depicts the size of the family, gender and age of members and sometimes includes family pets.

When our twins' were first born, they spent a lot of time in the hospital. Those were horribly hard and gloomy days. My husband thought it would be cute to put the stickers on our van to visualize the family we now had, but couldn't yet, unite. He included our 2 dogs and 1 cat as well as our now, 3 kids. It was cute. However, I don't own khakis, we have since re-homed one of our dogs and our cat passed away. I still can't believe I"m forced to drive a minivan because of the size of our family. So, this is not the truest depiction of our family. But, his intentions were warm and kind.

My name is Kama and I'm a Mom...and that just freaks me out sometimes. I'm a bunch of other things that used to seem really important, but somehow being a Mom blurs those other things into mush. I have a 4 year-old daughter and 1 year-old twin boys. Everyday I have a "holy s**t, I can't believe I'm a Mom" moment and those get shared here.
