...you find stray cheerios and a random toddler sock in your purse.
add yours! |
You're lucky enough to go away solo for a girlfriends' weekend and you end up missing your kids like crazy!
|
You hand someone Purell before shaking their hand.
You cut someone else's meat up in bites at a work lunch. You eat your own lunch in 1.5 seconds flat. You ask if anyone needs to go to the potty. You congratulate the person in the next stall for doing a good job. |
Your baby sticks her entire hand in her container of pureed pears and - without thinking - you take her hand and put the entire thing in your mouth to clean it and avoid creating a mess ![]() |
hahahahaha! love it! |
You're so sleep deprived you say "What Sweet Pea?" to a taxi driver in New York City!!! |
your real response to "how was your weekend" would be: "I woke up at 5:30am, went to the park 3 times, and fell asleep at 9pm. You?" |
You wipe your child's nose with your hand, wipe it on your pants, and only later wonder "what is that smudge?" You are awake at 3 a.m. and you think, it would be ok if your child might wake up in the middle of the night because you would really like to hug him and see his face before you leave for work in the morning. And 3 a.m. is as good a time as any. You rationalize that hot dogs and mac and cheese at 16 months really is not all bad, the mac and cheese has milk in it. You go from being a grocery shopper that is irritated to those bulky carts with the cars in front for the kids to sit in, to being throughly entertained watching as your child "drives" around the store giggling in said car. You realize that a 10 minute "rest" while Dad takes your child outside to the swing really is a blessing and doesn't need to be filled with doing laundry, dishes, etc. You get out the vaccuum, see your child dancing and playing and looking adorable, and put the vaccuum away, realizing it can be done when your child is in bed or eating dinner. There are more important things than a perfectly clean floor. You go away with your husband for a weekend on a lake and desperately miss your 17 month old. You are pregnant with number two, and are restricted on heavy lifting and exercise due to some "challenges" right now....and it breaks your heart not to lift up your son when he puts his arms up and says "UP." |
You hear phrases coming out of your mouth like
-- Wow look at that backhoe loader! Ooh, and there's a skid steer... -- Yes, I guess my poopie does look like an ice cream cone -- I'd love to play "mama fire engine, baby fire engine" -- Even though Thomas and Percy aren't the strongest engines, they're pretty useful (agh) |
You hear a child crying and immediately try to locate the source. The you realize its not yours and you feel a split second of relief. |
The sound of someone else's baby crying makes your own milk let down. |
You offer your adult guests juice boxes
You find yourself humming the Backyardigan songs (while alone) |
You find yourself telling (childless) friends what a great show "The Wonder Pets" is. |
you have decided which one of the Wiggles you think is hottest. |
You know every single Thomas the Train character by sight! |
