"My you sure do have your hands full." or "You've got your hands full" or "Look at you wow your hands are full." "Are you mormon, how many are you going to have?" The comments go on & on.
As if I didn't know that I have 3 small kids. Sometimes i want to lash out and say, Really with what? or you have eyes, good observation. The funny thing is they say it in a negative way and they say it whether my boys are perfect little angels or wrestling in the grocery cart. Well I have decided that when I hear this I wil respond by saying: " I am such a lucky girl" or "there is nothing better to have your hands full of. " Lately I chuckly and say "I love it and I planned it." I have realized that by responding positively and with the biggest smile it shuts them right up.

shar, you are seriously the best mom, and have the cutest kids. i am so glad that you have 3 adorable little kiddos, they are perfect. love you
This makes me laugh because I remember a time when Derwin went in to buy circus tickets for our then only 11 of our 13 kids, the lady asked him if he was buying for the whole neighborhood, he said no, just my kids. She turned around and said, "YOU HAVE ELEVEN CHILDREN?" Heather(oldest daughter) was with him and she said, "We sure do". The gal looked at Derwin and asked, "Haven't you ever heard of birth control?" (I told him he should have said he takes those stupid pills everyday, and they just don't work!) You just keep that beautiful smile on your face so that your little boys will always remember a Happy Mom - who loves THEM and forget about all the others in the world that want to judge.
Hey Missy,
What a great post. You do have your hands full. And just like you said there is nothing better to have your hands full of. We love you ALL!!!

People always say that to me and I only have 2! Good answer. I'm sure that people will be saying that to me soon too.
Sharee,I know that you are a wonderful mom. Now I only have Jimena, but I am sure of having more babies. To have the hands full with our children is the best work of the world and of that we can be prouder. I love you, Nora and Jimena
