They call me Mom


My continuation of You know you're a Mom when .......

39. You find yourself rocking side to side when another mother in the room is rocking a baby
40. People making a mess isn't so funny anymore because your first thought is who is going to clean that up
41. Date night usually means going to Applebees with 3 kids who make a terrible mess that you don't have to clean up
42. When you really do get a date night alone it usually consists of calling to check on the kids and talking about the kids most of the time
43. You wonder why loading dishes and putting them away isn't as bad as doing laundry
44. You stay up late at night even when you are so tired just to get some quiet time
45. Chuck E Cheese is the devil
46. You aren't embarassed to go to the store at 3am in your PJ's to get something you ran out of for your kids
47. Get your finger out of your nose is a phrase you say regularly
48. If your sick its not a big deal but if your kids are sick it's the end of the world
49. You have gone in the other room, shut the door and let out a little scream to get through an exceptionally rough day
50. If you want it done right you do it yourself
51. Your body can still manage to function when you have had little to no sleep due to sick kids up all night
52. You know your kids are the cutest. Period!
53. You can't watch the titanic because of the part where the mother is telling a story to her kids while tucking them in before the ship sinks makes you bawl uncontrollably.
54. Your willing to make a fool of yourself just to put a smile on your kids face
55. A day at the park is sometimes the best medicine for everyone
56. You have done the pee pee in the potty dance
57. The birth of your child triggered a nerve in your spine to go bazurk that even years later they can scream and make your whole body tense up
58. You can't wait until they can walk, you can' wait for them to talk, you can't wait until they start school then you realize you wish they were still small because they grew up too fast
59. You can't wait for them to walk, you can't wait for them to talk and then sometimes you wish they would sit down and be quiet.
60. You had 2 years of spanish in school and don't remember much but you can remember all the words that Dora and Diego sing about
61. Childrens homework even in first grade is harder then you remember
62. You constantly wish for more patience because kids really know how to push yours to the limit
63. You have put your face to a bum to do the stinky or not stinky check
64. You know what the hot dog dance is
65. Your DVR is full of kids shows
66. You know just what to say to make it all better
67. You find yourself calling your mom all the time to ask for her opinion
68. You learn that the worrying never goes away it only gets worse
69. Kids have a hidden genius and know just what buttons to push on any electronics to get it to a point where you have to call a customer service center
70. You make the best macaroni and cheese
71. You have flown around the house with a super hero or had a party with a princess
72. even with all the crying, tantrums, late nights, near melt down episodes, frustration and headaches you wouldn't give it up for the world

you know you're a mother when you laugh at your kids with their own kids 'cause "been there done that, now it's their turn." ha ha! now get your finger out of your nose and stop calling me!
