You know parenthood has taken over your life when...

A la Jeff Foxworthy -

You know parenthood has taken over you life when....

... you put your underwear on backwards or wrong side out and don't notice for hours.
... when you leave said underwear on the wrong way because fixing it would require more unoccupied room in the bathroom than your audience permits.
... when going to the bathroom means sprinting to the door in time to close it before your audience arrives.
... when you get all the way to work before you realize that you are wearing your houseshoes.
... when you continue to walk into work wearing little froggie houseshoes because it is that or go barefoot.
... when all the "accents" and "accent colors" in your living room are made by Fisher Price.
... when your children are dressed to the 9's and looking fabulous and you have nothing to wear and haven't even showered.
... when you aren't sure when you last showered. It couldn't have been longer than yesterday could it?
... when "doing your hair" means you actually brushed it before pulling it back into a clip or ponytail.
... when getting dressed up means wearing something other than yoga pants.
... when going out to dinner means a trip to McDonalds.
... when going out to have fun means a trip to the park.

We all need a good laugh once in a while. How about you? Give us your best!

 

When the crying from the kids' bedroom reaches it's highest pitch just before the sex act taking place in your bedroom reaches it's peak.

 

When you realize the reason you haven't tossed out that cardboard sleeve from the Dentyne gum that has been in your car for a month is that you need it to clean out your nails on the way to... well everywhere!

I know this is so gross, but I figure why not keep it real!

 

LOL! I wore my underwear inside out yesterday!

when....
You're thrilled b/c you got a new vacuum. It was the highlight of your month.
you eat more grilled cheese than you did as a kid.
you look forward to going to the dentist b/c it's quiet.
you can't type on the computer b/c your kids are up at the crack of dawn! Gotta run!

 

Fun mornings in bed mean being climbed on, crawled over, and kissed by 3 adorable little boys

A night away invokes the kind of excitement that a 10 day tropical vacation used to invoke

Relaxing at the pool means your husband/partner is playing "splash Daddy" so you can swim a few laps or relax in a chair and read a book

Not only is a minivan what you drive, you actually like it! The space....the distance between the front and back seat (and how you can pretend you can't hear)

You catch yourself singing Backyardigan tunes throughout the day

You have no clue where your sexy lingerie is, not that you could fit into it anyway

You wake up thinking about your beautiful boys, you fall asleep thinking about your beautiful boys - and will never understand how you got so lucky.

Me too. :blush:

 

when you first wake up you are confused by all the empty diaper boxes in your living room...then it hits you that these are toys, not trash.

 

...when it's okay to slap your hair in a ponytail, so you don't have to brush it
...when you wear the same clothes two days in a row because why bother looking nice if some little person is just going to dump something on you again today.
...before the gym used to be torture and now it's a welcome break

 

LOL - these are all great! I can relate to almost all of them!

... When you've been saying you REALLY need some new clothes (you probably last bought a new shirt before you got pregnant), get some very generous monetary gifts for graduation from college, then decide to spend said money on a new (used) STROLLER! It's a really cool stroller, though! :lol:

... When you plan every outing around naptime & bedtime.

... When Twin A takes Twin B's potty full of urine and spins it around the living room, covering the walls and floor, and your first reaction is to laugh (you just can't afford to cry right now... plus, urine is sterile, right?). :bad:

... When you are in awe at the tremendous joy and love you feel for these two little people and wonder how you ever got sooo incredibly lucky.

 

..it's 3 in the afternoon and you've done it! yes! Finally got your hair done!


i LOVE everyone's ...so hilarious!!!

 

You finally have a babysitter for a couple of hours and the big event that you & DH have planned is going grocery shopping!

 

when yo check your hair and the back of your shirt for pieces of food before leaving the house!
