You know you've become a mother when...

Abinormal · June 2011

When you head to the bathroom to take care of some business and instead of grabbing a book for your own entertainment, you grab a few books to keep the toddler, who will be accompanying you, entertained. *sigh* Please feel free to add your own!

you have a binkie in your purse, the center console of your car and the pocket behind the passenger seat by her car seat.

When you go to the pool with LO and don't really mind that your legs are not freshly shaven.

When your purse has a cell phone, book, and keys, but none of them are yours - they're plastic toys for DD.

When you wipe your kids nose without even thinking about it.

When your child goes to daycare/school with clean clothes and you are in clothes that you have worn twice already this week.

When the last book you read rhymed.

When you have ziplock bags of snacks in your purse for the "just in case" moments.

I did this at the airport, I didn't have a kleenix and we were going through security. I think we freaked some people out.

Also, when you have a diaper, wipes and animal crackers in your purse.

Sippy cups are where the wine glasses use to be.

Haha, I smiled at ALL of these! Add to the purse a snack-size bag of cheerios.

This! Except my ziplock bag spilled and now every time I open my wallet, Cherrio crumbs come pouring out.

I do this all the time, everyone thinks it is so gross, I guess I am too lazy to carry a pack of kleenex in my pocket all the time.

You know you are a mom when you know every song in Disney movies, no more nursery rhymes than you do lyrics to regular songs, and have a huge purse but there is only two-three things of yours in it and you can never find them.

...when you take your son to see Sesame Street Live and you can name every single character, and you get excited when they play a song at the end that you know and can sing along to.

I just picked a booger off of dh's nose. I saw it and instinctively went for it

Hahaha! This same thing happened to me earlier today! I'm glad I'm not the only one Big Smile

This made me giggle... we literally, just this weekend, cleaned out the cupboard where we kept all our barware to make space for DS's sippys, bowls, and other assorted dishes.

This is SO us too. When we moved into our new house, the wet bar became a "baby food station". It's works great: cabinets, drawers, a sink, counter space. But people come over and think we're weird for using a wet bar for baby stuff. We have one upper cabinet for actual glasses/drinking supplies. Everything else is for DD.

Haha! Tegan is in a huge book phase (seriously, I read 20+ books a day!) and I had a bit of an upset tummy today. She kept getting upset when I'd have to interrupt a book to use the bathroom, so I just brought them along. She sat on the bathroom floor and I read the book (teacher/student style) while taking care of my business. Yeah, it was a whole new level of mommyhood...

My husband (jokingly) said "I have poo on my arm" and instead of getting grossed out , I responded "whose is it? (we have several pets as well!)

ablou · June 2011

I won't leave the house without the following in my purse:

2 boxes of raisins

2 pouches of applesauce

Woody doll

knot toy

Toy Story board book

Go, Dog. Go!

Sippy of water

When your holding your LO and LO goes to puke and to save the clean up as much as possible you pull them closer to you to wear it instead of it hitting something harder to clean than yourself.......... or feel them and make it to the toilet before they get sick.

It has been three months since you have had a hair cut and you can't remember the last time you had a professional pedicure.

This! I went to the park with Sophia for a run (so, in running shorts) and stopped at the playground at the end. I was there with all these nicely dressed people in running clothes and unshaved legs.
