These are just a few things I have discovered in motherhood. I am sure you could add more, and the list could go on and on. I hope some will give you a good chuckle or at the least you can sympathize with the amazingly crazy life as a mom.
You Know You are a MOM When ...
#100 you stay home with a child who isn't feeling well because no one comforts them like momma
#101 your kid uses your shirt as a napkin or worse a tissue, eww!
#102 you poke yourself with a needle while sewing a patch onto your child's vest, or repairing a tear in their favorite stuff animal
#103 you stay up way too late, because that's the only time you can get all those mom things done
#104 you can change baby's diaper or clothes while they are twisting and turning trying to crawl away
#105 you are holding your baby with one hand while holding your toddler in the other, so he can use the public bathroom
#106 you have to wait to eat your meal countless times, because a nursing baby is always hungry when the meal is ready
#107 you always have one, or at least one, in your lap while you: grade papers, try to read, eat, work etc. ...
#108 you can easily prepare dinner with a child attached to hip, or on the counter ... or both
#109 your alone time is when you are using the bathroom, if you're lucky ...
#110 date night with your husband consists of a Redbox movie with a late night snack while kids are in bed
#111 you say "silence is golden," but is scary when it actually happens
# 112 you've caught yourself repeating your mother, "if your friend jumps off a bridge would you?"
#113 you say "because I said so" to the never-ending question "but why?"
#114 chores like mowing the yard is never done alone
#115 nothing is ever truly just yours
This is my youngest, now 18 months old, eating my toast. I know he looks so darn cute who could tell him no??
