You know you're a mom when..

Your toddler throws up on you because he just chugged a cup of water too fast and your first thought is not about the human vomit pooling in your 60-dollar-only-one-that-fits-satin-and-lace-miracle-bra, but of the $5 dollar blankie that was just coated, that now has to be washed, and happens to be his "I HAVE TO HAVE THIS TO BE HAPPY!!!" comfort item. Did i mention it's naptime? And not 30 seconds after changing his clothes and diaper, he pooped. This day. OMG. This day.

So lets hear em ladies. I need a laugh lol.

You know you're a mom when you doze off for a couple minutes while your toddler plays in front of you and you're woken up by a pee filled diaper smacked in your face. Thanks DS. Yes, I will change your diaper. Thank goodness it was just pee. :P

Bwahaha I hear you about the blankie, we have like a hundred of them because of that reason!!!

I always feel like a mom when I eat something DD is sharing with me. Mmmmmmm... Drool covered cracker, my favorite!

When I crack open snacks in target before I buy them. DD yelling COCK COCK in the cracker isle means she is getting one. Not a battle I'm going to fight. She sounds like she has tourettes. :-)

I always judged moms with their nasty car interiors and couldn't understand why crumbs, etc. got everywhere. Ooh. My. God. I now know and my car looks like a goldfish bomb went off in it.

@spainy17 - He is VERY specific about what is HIS blankie. Has has tons of blankets, and refuses to sleep without a blanket nest lol, but if HIS blankie isn't present? All others become traitors, and he sits by the laundry room crying until blankie gets done. It's bad enough, that he know the sound of the dryer finishing and will run up to one of us and pull us to the laundry room when it happens..

Our car looks like the keebler factory floor too, don't worry momma, you are SO not alone lol.

Haha, the little boy at daycare us just like that... Well sit outside the dryer bawling for his blankie. I'm so lucky that DD is a blanket whore ;-)

haha! I was just thinking this today. I think I could put together a box of goldfish just by hunting and gathering the discarded ones in my backseat.

When your kid has a cold and you're totally ok with being covered in someone else's snot and actually leaving the house that way. My day today! Ugh.

ETA: when vacation takes on a whole new definition. No longer is it relaxing by the pool soaking in sun on a lounge chair...no longer is it dinners at 9pm and drinks after until the AM....no more vacation sex because there is a toddler taking up an unthinkable amount of space in the bed between you and your hubby. And, it was still the best vacation I have even had! .

We are headed out of town for vacation at then end of August, and I had these same thoughts, especially about sharing a bed with DD!!

B never slept with us either, except a few times this year when she had an ear infection or the flu. And I secretly love it, too;). She is too busy these days to sit still long enough to snuggle with me, so I don't mind sharing our bed from time to time!
