You know your a mom when....

Ive seen SO many versions of this on the internet lately, and I find them all so funny and mostly fitting. I thought Id come up with one of my own to relate to how I see things as a mom!

You know your a mom when....

*You begin to refer to yourself in the third person. "ok hunny, mommy is going to bed" "mommy needs your help" "No sex tonight sweetheart (to your SO), mommy is too tired"

*You shrug off when your 3yr old yells with all her might in a public bathroom "thats a BIG poop mommy!" and starts to do the potty dance.

*You faithfully crumble and agree that celery and PB is a perfectly healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime snack

*Refering to post2, you dont think twice to do the potty dance yourself when your kiddo sucessfully goes to the bathroom in a public place...regardless of how many strange looks you are getting

*You no longer have to ask for a mop or paper towel at the restaurant when your 3yr old spills her chocolate milk all over the table...for the 5th time that night. You know better by now, you carry cleaning supplies in your purse!

*Your purse is no longer YOUR purse. It is now filled with a spare diaper, 2 extra soothers, clean kids undies, a spare snack and a toy if you can manage

*You count down the minutes until 8 o'clock. Not because your favorite show is on, not because you want to head out for a beer. Only because that beautiful number 8 means bedtime...peace, quiet and maybe some shut eye

*When making DH's lunch for work, you never forget his fishy crackers, apple sauce and spoon OR his sippy.... :S

*5 times a day you hear yourself saying "god I sound like my mom"

*You call your mom nightly to say thank you

*You lick your thumb to wipe off the dirt, paint or food from your childrens faces

*Shower time is no longer a solo mission. It now consists of a 3yr old at your feet and a 1yr old screaming from her exersaucer to join in on the fun

*Soap operas and reality shows are exchanged for magic school bus adventures and dora explorations

*You are dying of sleep, but set your alarm regardless to get up twice a night and check on your babies.

Last but not least. You know your a mom when you get tears in your eyes when you hear those sweet little voices wisper I love you, when the best message in the world is "mommy your my best friend" or that sheer screech of happiness when your baby simply sees your face.
