Just thinking how LUCKY I am to even be a MOM! :-)

" You Know You're a Mom When "

1. Your feet stick to the kitchen floor.....and

you don't care.

2. When the kids are fighting, you threaten to

lock them in a room together and not let them

out until someone's bleeding.

3. You can't find your cordless phone, so you

ask a friend to call you, and you run around the

house madly, following the sound until you locate

the phone downstairs in the laundry basket.

4. You spend an entire week wearing sweats.

5. Your idea of a good day is making it through

without a child leaking bodily fluids on you.

6. Popsicles become a food staple.

7. Your favorite television show is a cartoon.

8. Peanut butter and jelly is eaten at least in one

meal a day.

9. You're willing to kiss your child's boo-boo,

regardless of where it is.

10. Your baby's pacifier falls on the floor and you

give it back to her, after you suck the dirt off of it

because your too busy to wash it off.

11. Your kids make jokes about flatulence,

burping, pooping, ect. and you think it's funny.

12. You're so desperate for adult conversation

that you spill your guts to the telemarketer that

calls and HE hangs up on YOU!

13. Spit is your number one cleaning agent.

14. You're up each night until 10 PM (insert feeding) :-) Vacuuming,

dusting, wiping, washing, drying, loading, unloading,

shopping, cooking, driving, flushing, ironing,

sweeping, picking up, changing sheets, changing

diapers, bathing, helping with homework, paying

bills, budgeting, clipping coupons, folding clothes,

putting to bed, dragging out of bed, brushing,

chasing, buckling, feeding (them, not you), PLUS

swinging, playing baseball, bike riding, pushing

trucks, cuddling dolls, roller balding, basketball,

football, catch, bubbles, sprinklers, slides, nature

walks, coloring, crafts, jumping rope, PLUS raking,

trimming, planting, edging, mowing, gardening,

painting, and walking the dog. You get up at 5:30 AM

and you have no time to eat, sleep, drink or go to the

bathroom, and yet...you still managed to gain 10 pounds.

15. In your bathroom there is toothpaste on the light

fixtures, water all over the floor, a dog drinking out

of the toilet and body hair forming a union to protest

unsafe working conditions.

16. You buy cereal with marshmallows in it.

17. The closest you get to gourmet cooking is making

rice crispies bars.
