Top 10 ways you know she’s a Mom

*To um, lighten the mood that may have been set by my prior post, here is a repost from my, like, 2nd day ever of blogging. Maybe I have a few more readers now who need a laugh today like I did!

In no particular order:

1. She’s swaying back and forth with purse in arm

2. She calls her childless friend and says she wants to get together for a playdate

3. The yellowish stain on her right shoulder

4. That wet spot over her left boob

5. She tells you her toilet tries to overflow on a regular basis ever since her toothbrush vanished

6. She starts humming the Backyardigans Theme song

7. Her shopping cart is full of mac n’ cheese, cheerios and fruit snacks

8. When frustrated with her husband she calls him 3 different names before getting the right one

9. The pieces of granola bar she has evidently sat on

10. She excuses herself from her friends saying, “I have to go potty”

Sadly, I am guilty of all of the above. Feel free to contribute any other ways you know she’s a mom

My husband tried VERY VERY hard not to laugh at me when I was in the intense pain of labor (they took forever with the epidural!). Instead of swearing or cursing like anyone who had never had children would have done, I was screaming “OOOWWWEEE! It’s so OOWWEE!”.

I have been guilty of #1, 3, 4, 6, 7 & 9. Though, sadly , I was guilty of #9 long before I was a mother.

I would comment further, but please excuse me, I have to go potty!

LOL! I totally rock back and forth with the grocery shopping cart even though the kids are not with me! I wonder when I’ll be able to break that habit?

You know you’re a mom if the last 5 movies you saw in the movie theatre were animated. And also, I unconsciously sway back and forth at work–I am sure people think I am crazy.
