You know your a mommy when...

You know you are a mommy when...
You put on your shirt and you find a little sock in your sleeve.

You have spit up on your shirt.

 

You know you are a mommy when...
You put on your shirt and you find a little sock in your sleeve.

You have spit up on your shirt.

 

You go into Macy's to buy new outfits for yourself that acutally fit. You walk out an hour later and $100 lighter realizing you have purchased nothing for yourself!

 

...it doesn't matter if you put makeup on because they will smile at you anyway!

 

you are driving a Honda Odyssey...
you start putting lipstick and perfume on to go to the store b/c you don't get much opportunity to dress up and leave the house...
OR...you swing in the opposite direction and don't match, hair is in a ponytail, absolutely no makeup and could care less.

 

you have bags under your eyes a mile long.

 

You put out your hand to catch the throw up!!
& no matter how sleep deprived you are that little smile, makes it all worth it

 

when you are giving your 2yo a bath at 11pm because he vomited in his bed and all over his hair and pj's....and you're not mad about being woke up but just feel so sad for your little pitiful looking man

 

...you do a pooh-pooh 'sniff check' and you can tell exactly how much is in there!

 

When you have pacifiers in your coat, purse, diaper bag, car, etc....

the theme song to the wiggles, backyardigans, wonderpets, etc... are running through your mind all day....

You can carry a small truckload of toys and diaperbags and carseats without a thought....

the thought of their smiling faces makes your warm and fuzzy even at 4am ....

 

You take the kids out for coffee just to get out of the house (drive thru of course!!)

Or

You have Purell in every bag, purse, car, and pocket along with some Wet Ones too!

 

A stranger pulls a cheerio off of your shirt while you are out.

 

You use words like pee-pee, poopy, cheeky buns, baba, nummies

 

THIS IS HILARIOUS!!
it's nearly impossible to get out of the house with clean clothes on

you are making baby food on a Friday night

you are too tired to have sex

7 a.m is considered sleeping in

I could on and on!

 

Your exhausted but stay up on your computer on TS just to get a little me time!

 

when...everything on this list applies and nithing surprises you about it!

 

...you catch yourself rocking/swaying from side-to-side even when you're by yourself.

...you start finding more Cheetos and Cheerios under your couch cushions and car seats than loose change.

...you've ever laid your hand on your babies back "just to make sure".

 

You hear a baby cry or call mommy & you turn around to answer even though you don't have your kids with you

Your driving in the car and you say "look - a horsey" and it's just you and your husband in the car

You can bf one, give a bottle to another, & talk on the phone all at the same time

 

You have company with you for every trip to the potty.

You walk in the room and smell poop after doing the sniff test still cant figure out who it is so resort to changing both. Only to find out it was neither and now they are both wide awake at 3 am and want to play.

You go to scratch your face only to realize you forgot to wash your hands after that last diaper change. EEEW.

You sit at the computer for several hours a day typing while feeding a baby because theres not much else you can do with one hand.

Almost forgot one. You 'Accidentely' forget the most important thing on the grocery list just so you can go back out just one more time alone.

Your nice cloths now include anything other than sweats and spit up covered t-shirts.

 

in 0 degree weather, you realize you have Adidas flipflops on with socks while out for a quick stroll at the mall.

your outfit never matches and frankly you could give a crap

getting your children's poo on your hand isn't gross

 

Great conversation starter!!! I love reading the others and remembering when that happened to me.

 

When you find yourself digging in your kids noses and it doesnt gross you out

When its 7 pm on a Friday night and your ready to hit the sack

When you dont care if you go to the store in spitup covered sweats, hair not combed and teeth not brushed

 

These are CRACKING me up!! SO true! And AH, I have a Honda Odyssey!

When you are out alone buying baby food or baby clothes, deep inside you LOVE when the cashier asks you "how old is your baby?" so you can say "Oh, my TWINS are xyz old".

You see another pregnant lady with twins and think "you have NO idea!" and just smile because you can't begin to explain.

You are so tired, the babies are asleep for the night, the bottles are made, the house is quiet...and instead of going to bed, you creep into their rooms - just to watch them sleep and you are overwelmed...by just how precious they are and they are yours!!

Ground Hog Day takes on a WHOLE new meaning!

You figure out that the messy pony tail really is a good look for you, good thing because it's all you can muster!

You are shocked when you see yourself in a mirror all dolled up...you think how funny it is to see what you used to look like!

 

When you've been up since 7 am and YOU don't eat or drink anything until about 10 am.

 

You look forward to getting a root canal because you get to go out alone and lay in a chair for 40 minutes with nobody screaming at you.

 

You resort to saying things like "Fudge" and "Shucks" instead of what you'd REALLY like to say!

When your DH comes home from work and gets to hear about the different degrees and frequencies of poop and/or spit-up you dealt with that day.

Someone compliments your children and you instantly like them a bit more.

You never realized how GOOD a shower felt until you had kids!

 

You classify poop into levels or wipes (it was a 6-wiper or a level-3 poop emergency)

You spend an hour trying to make them smile just so you can see their two teeth again

You've had to explain that your black eye/bruise/bloody nose is the result of a baby head butt

 

These are cracking me up! I can totally relate to them.

I thought of another one

you know the doctors number by heart.

 

OMG i can not stop laughing!!

 

your decorating style went from contemporary to early childhood development and there are more places for the babies to sit in the livingroom than for the big people.

Your phone conversations revolve around neon green poop and chunky spit up

suddenly the sweet little sportscar that you swore you would buy when you graduated turned into a minivan and instead of a rockin stereo
the concern is "can that be ordered with 2 built in carseats?"

formula coupons in the mail are exciting!!

you are at the tax office without your kids when someone else's
kid is very bored and you pull several hotwheel cars out of your purse and make his day!

 

You no longer feel comfortable 'sitting' in church and feel the urge to stand in the back of the room rocking from side to side (as a PP said...even without a baby in tow)

Absolutely NOTHING can make you gag anymore!!

Cold spaghetti is the best meal you have had all week.

You have to tell the little person (who has woken up a little early) on the other side of a locked bedroom door that you are "helping daddy pick out clothes to wear" and you will be "done in a minute" when you know darn well what you were really doing!!

 

Those were all so very true!!

I enjoyed reading those, and I have done a many of those!

I guess soon I'll be doing it again
