You know you're a mom when...

I did this post HERE a while back and I thought it was so funny.  Then I thought, "I should do a post like this every few months."  Which is not very realistic since it's actually hard to come up with "new" material.  On that note:

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A MOM WHEN:

You purchase new makeup and it makes you feel like a million bucks...and you haven't even tried it on...and it's from the drugstore.
 

You have laundry in at least one place much of the time.  Plus you think it's cute to put your baby on the bed with the laundry and take pictures.
 

You put your hair in a high bun most of the time because it's just so easy, and your hair is usually dirtier than clean.  A solution indeed. :)
 

You finally get your child off your lap and set her down "patiently" and walk away saying "nicely" that, "you can just go ahead and look at that cookbook on your own."  Since you won't stop squirming and you won't stop turning the pages that I want to look at!
 

You walk by random "things" in the corners of your house and it takes a while for them to get picked up because...well, just because.  A super hero mask, a roll of toilet paper, a bunny, a Nerf bullet, boxing glove and a diaper.   I'm just glad it's not a dirty diaper.
 

You have a child that follows you around.  Wherever you go.  You think you're alone and then "pop" there they are right by your side.  I am never lonely.  Good thing I actually don't like being alone. :)
 

 

You find a serving spoon was used to eat yogurt and then thrown back in to the drawer. Awesome.  This might be the topper of "You Know You're a Mom When..."
 

You watch your two year old jump on the trampoline and think they might be unusually talented.  Are most two year olds even coordinated enough to jump like this?  :)
 

You plan your meals according to whether they will give you leftovers or not.
 

You heart skips a beat when your husband gets home because he's your ally and you've got a team mate physically present.  And he loves his kids beyond words.
 

Now you can say things like, "go ask your dad," and "go play steam roller with your dad."
 

You're just happy your kid is dressed.  He may be in his sisters nightgown, but he's dressed.  Seriously.  Because he's usually naked...don't ask.

I love being a mom.  It's the best job ever!  Despite a messy house, little time for myself, a noisy house, and the frustrations that come with kids, one day soon it will all be a distant memory.  I love it all now.  It's going by so fast...
