You know you're a mom when.....


Over the year I have seen some e-mail circulating with titles like "you know you grew up in the early 90's when..." or "you know you live in NJ when...". So I have decided to write about "you know your a mom when...". Now compared to some of you I have not been a mom for very long so my list might not be as long as yours but in these short 10 months I have really felt like a mom. Some things you roll your eyes at, some you can't help but laugh, and some.... well only being a mom you can understand. So here are some of my mom moments. Please feel free to share some of yours.
You know you're a mom when you find baby food in your hair and your not surprised.
You know you're a mom when you haven't had an adult conversation on over 12 hours.
You know you're a mom when you are walking out the door to go somewhere, look down and see food all over your shoulder and leave the house anyway.
You know you're a mom when you plan your Sunday outfit depending on if you have to nurse while at church.
You know you're a mom when you put the kids to bed and then run to walmart because you have ZERO diapers
You know you're a mom when you know the theme songs to 4 or more nick jr cartoons
You know you're a mom when you taking a morning shower doesn't always happen
You know you're a mom when you no longer sleep through the night
You know you're a mom when you forget your wallet at home... in the shopping cart after loading the groceries into the car... don't know because the kids were playing with it last.
You know you're a mom when you replace your purse with a diaper bag
You know you're a mom when you have pictures of you with the binky in your mouth
You know you're a mom when panic washes over you because it's a little to quite in the other room
You know you're a mom when you haven't eaten a warm dinner in a week or so
You know you're a mom when your heart hold more love for your children then you ever thought possible.
I love being a mom and wouldn't trade it for the world.
