You Know you are a Mom if...

I had an interesting night last night. It prompted me to make this list! Comment with your own moments! I would love to hear your own experiences moms!

You know you are a mom if. . .

1. you fall asleep with a pacifier in your teeth and you wake up and it's still there!

2. you wipe other people's booties more often than your own.

3. you go into a store alone and say "No, stop touching that!" without even thinking.

4. you play Facebook games because your son wants you to.

5. you are known as your kids' mom. No one knows your real name.

6. boogers no longer disgust you. In fact, you try getting them for your husband.

7. your front porch looks more like a toy yard sale than a place to relax and greet friends.

8. going to Walmart (or anywhere for that matter) with dried snot or spit-up on your clothes doesn't bother you.

9. you have more expenditures at Children's Place than any retail store that would sell clothes in your size.

10. you have so many little plastic cups from restaurants in your cupboard that you could host a party for 50 kids and everyone would have one (including a lid).

11. you can sing cartoon theme songs or episode songs like (but not limited to): Spongebob, Wonder Pets, Bob the Builder, Curious George, etc.

12. you sing songs listed above without your kids enticing you to or when they are gone.

13. you go to the store and come home to find out you have random stickers on your butt.

14. every time you move your couch there is a treasure of forgotten toys that become the new toys all over again.

15. you hold the hand of a beautiful child at night while they sleep and they tell you that they are the only thing in the world they need.

I would love to hear some of yours! Comment below and share! :)

  4. If you are running in a mad sprint from the back of Sam's Club to the front...pulling them so fast they can't keep up and their little legs fly in the air every couple steps, while your yelling "HOLD IT!! HOLD IT!!..not yet!"...and of course people are wondering... why doesn't she just pick the kid up? Well, if the kid doesn't "hold it" long enough (and you are carrying them) it will make for a BIG mess on the kid and mommy!

  6. You know you are a Mama when....you sing new songs that they teach you from preschool. True story....Lee, Mason and myself sat at the dinner table the other night and sang "Dexter Donkey" at the top of our lungs. After we sang it Lee and myself sat there and laughed, like "who would have thought we would have done this?" :D

  7. HAHA...I love the Pee Pee Song! HAHAHA--very appropriate for NO PEE ON MOMMY! I was a poet and didn't know it! Dexter Donkey is vital when learning D. You should be very proud! Keep them coming!
