You know you are a mommy when....


I laughed pretty hard writing these today because I realized that I have done ALL of them in the past week! What are some things that you guys would add to the list?

1. You are driving by yourself when you see a garbage truck. You immediately yell, "TRASH TRUCK!" just like your little boy.

2. You find yourself hoping that your little one will wake up to eat around 3:30 am because it means he will go back to sleep and stay asleep much later in the morning. This seems stupid, but all I know is that when Matthew doesn't wake up to eat, he wakes up for good at 6:00. If he does, he will sleep until 8:00! 20 minutes in the middle of the night in exchange for 2 hours? Obvious answer.

3. When you are getting ready in the morning and the baby barfs on you, you decide to wear the outfit anyway and if anybody asks, you tell them it happened in the car and you didn't have a change of clothes.

4. You rush to get all your chores done with both babies crying on your hip so that you can use nap time to catch up on the Real Housewives of Atlanta and not cleaning the bathroom.

5. You justify feeding your toddler macaroni and cheese multiple times a week because you bought the organic kind.

6. You "pin" a bunch of really over-achieving activities for your toddlers so that your friends who follow your board will think you are super mom.....even though you have never and will never actually do them.

7. You don't make yourself your own meal because you are too tired and you know your toddler won't eat theirs anyway so you can just have that one.

8. When you walk into the salon to get your hair cut, your hairdresser says "Wow.....it has been a LONG time since you've been here.

9. You have perfected the "Oh friend, I have sooooo been there" look that you give to the other mama in the grocery store when she walks by with two screaming babies in her cart.

10. You can carry on an entire phone conversation with a baby screaming in the background.

  2. #2 is my life. Except if Leighton wakes up to eat at 3:30, she'll wake up for the day at 7:00... instead of 5:30 / fuss until 6 when I finally drag myself out of bed to get her. I'll take the 3:30 feeding ANY DAY.

    Aaaaaand #4! L naps terribly in her crib, so I let her nap on me so I can watch the DVR or read my Kindle for 1-2 hours instead of 25 minutes. Bad habit? You betcha. Sanity-saver? ALL THE WAY.
