You Know You're a Mom When...
Ok girls, just for fun...
You know you're a mom when...
...you find yourself singing along to kids songs on Pandora.
What would you add?

Re: You Know You're a Mom When...
When you just shrug when someone points out that you have a bit of spitup on your shirt.
When it takes an hour to get out of the house, but all you did was throw your hair in a pony tail, pinch the cheeks a bit, and try to find something that is clean and not wrinkled.
When you look constantly tired, no matter how much coffee/tea/soda/caffeine you drink.
I'm sure I have more.
You don't mind the smell of your child's spit up or pooh...You don't even care if it gets on you and don't bother changing your shirt!
)
You do the bouncy/hip thingy just standing anywhere even without a child in your arms.
You do the push/pull dance with your GROCERY cart without your child in it! I caught myself doing this the other day and almost died laughing to myself!
You lose your mind....
Yesterday I made the car alarm go off on my in-law's pickup. We spent an hour trying to figure out why the car wouldn't even turn over. It took me going into my own vehicle to realize I was using my vehicle's keys!
SO TRUE!
When you start ordering groceries from PeaPod because a simple task like grocery shopping just can't be fit into your schedule!
you wipe snot off/get crusty boogies off LO's nose and not think twice...and then wipe it on your own clothes.
sooooo true!!!
I have done these!! Only it wasn't the grocery cart for me- it was her stroller but someone was holding her across the room and she was fussing. I instinctively started moving the stroller back and forth to calm her!
You sway and dip real big with your LO in a carrier to try to get them to go to sleep or stop crying. This is us in the produce section every week, and I don't care that everyone is staring!
THIS!!
You start daydreaming about owning a Subaru station wagon.
I'm not ready for a minivan, but wow would an Outback be nice right about now!
I have to drive my the local car dealership "mile" everyday. I use to check out the hot new sports cars. Now I find myself going "mmm... roomy..." Homer Simpson style.
These are Hilarious!! I can totally relate! I have gone a full work day singing kiddie songs like it was the thing to do. I'd have to add...
...when you don't close the door to use the bathroom or shower.
...when you're "Me" time consists of cleaning.
when you find yourself swaying back and forth while talking to someone without a baby in your hands.
when you haven't brushed your hair in 3 days.
when you haven't bought anything for yourself since LO's been born..
When you no longer care that someone watches you using the bathroom. My son never lets me go alone, he sits on the edge of the toilet and watches lol.
When nothing sounds better than a weekend just sitting at home doing nothing. Just being with your family.
You stay up all night when your baby/toddler is sick, just watching them making sure they are ok. I can't tell you how many times I've done this with Ds. I still check him to make sure he's breathing at night, and he's nearly 4!
When every time you start picking up toys, you start singing "Clean up, Clean up, everybody clean up!"
Even though you just cleaned the house, it still looks like a tornado went through it and dropped all the toys in your living room.
When absolute silence is no longer a good thing- because it usually means someone is doing something very, very bad.
When you turn on the television, and automatically turn it to cartoons.
When Dora screaming is no longer annoying because you are used to it by now, and you can also sing along with all the songs.
Make a pregnancy ticker
You're STILL listening to the Elmo cd after your child has been dropped off at daycare!! lol
...you don't realize you have spit up on your shirt until you are already at work.
...staying up until midnight is challenging.

...when your idea of alone time is a dental cleaning.
I was dreading my appt yesterday, but while I was waiting in the dental chair looking out the window, I thought to myself, "This is actually kind of nice." :P
