[quote=Anonymous]musician/speaker/author family when)

You drive a car with carseats in the back seats and Highschool musical cranked up
Your perfume switches between, sweet potato puree, spit-up, hot dogs and baby sunblock. 
When the youth you work with want to play with your phone they realize all you have are baby, fisher-price games
Your most said phrase is "Oh, I'm just the nanny."
A "normal" schedule consists of different hours and days every week and spending weekends either traveling or staying home watching kids all weekend
You can change a diaper with one hand while holding octopus arms in the other (at least that's what it feels like)
98% of your photos, tweets, status' are of or about kids
You can sing all the theme songs to Dora the Explorer, The Wonder Pets, and The Backyardigans
You get excited when Parent magazine comes in the mail
You are much better at socializing with the group of moms and discussing disciplining techniques than you are socializing with people your own age 
You're told you have a "mom" look when the need arises (I work with a youth group...they're real honest)
You get two types of looks when you are out in public- The sympathetic, "awww poor single mom with four kids" or the judgemental "hmph young, single mom with four kids."
When people ask if you've seen any good movies lately...you can ramble off every animated/kids movie but are pretty much clueless as to what "grown-up" movies are out
You watch the same Animated movie over and over for months until the next big animated movie comes out....then you watch that one over and over and over. 
You're constantly asked if you are ever going to continue your education to actually use your Psychology major (I always laugh at that one, I use it everyday)
You DO go out with your friends only to have a pacifier and baby wipes fall out of your purse
You realize at the end of the day that you walked around all day with dried oatmeal all over the back of your pants
You can stand in Target with your boss discussing/analyzing what the best sippy cup is
You can have the worst day and have it all turned around by a sweet hug from a five year old
When "Miss" has become a permanent part of your first name
You spend all day smelling baby poop...but are unable to pin-point the source
It's not out of the norm to walk around the mall with a baby in an ergo, a stroller and kids trailing behind you
Sunday is your dress up day, sadly not because of church but because the rest of the week you spent wearing baby-food covered sweats
You find joy and yet your heart aches when seeing simple accomplishments, like a babies first words, a kid reading you her first book, or facing fears and growing up
You can make a killer heart-shaped PB&J, the best mac n cheese and a grilled cheese to die for
You love analyzing birth-order and personalities
You know when every "Kids eat free" night is in your town
The workers at the local kids activity centers know you by name
When you go shopping for clothes your first priority is to find things that are "kid friendly" and easy to move in
You experience all this, yet have no kids of your own.
