Being a mom definitely changes you...

So before becoming a mother, I had a HOT temper...I mean HOT...things bothered me all the time. Whatever you said to me, whether you meant it or not, flew all over me. My mom says I walked around with a chip on my shoulder, and I guess I did. I just didn't like people getting an attitude with me...and sometimes that wasn't the smart thing....but now...I could care less. Things don't bother me. I rarely get upset about anything, and stuff that at one time would make me mad for hours, doesn't even effect me. I guess being a mom has more than mellowed me. I love it. I don't get mad, I rarely get offended, and life is just awesome. I've realized what's important in life, and small dramas, people who have attitudes (especially at work, namely patients), and inconveniences no longer anger me....I wonder if this happens to most moms...I'm sure that it does.

I think it's that you realize you don't have time for a temper anymore :)

It is so true. Granted, I need to get that chip back on my shoulder before I go to work - but only at work!
