You Know You’re a Mom When..

• When you rush out to go to a bar & when you go to the bathroom you look down & realize you have chipped toe polish!!! (You used to make fun of women who wore open toed shoes with chipped polish-duh! They were just moms!) & haven’t gotten a pedi in months!!

• When you don’t buy an outfit every time you go out!

• When you show up late to a function because your child was napping! (And no-1 wakes a sleeping child!)

• When you pass up on an intimate moment with your significant other because you are “too tired” from a day with the baby

• When you do actually have an intimate moment with your significant other your bra & draws do not match!

• When you water down someone’s drink (especially Hawaiian punch) because you’re used to doing it for your two year old.

• When every time you’re out (without your kids) you talk about the cute thing they did that day. Like this beautiful flower that Braxton brought to me after his walk with his Grammy the other day. (He smooshed it a little on the walk back, but I still LOVED it.

• When you are out for “adult time” you bust out your cell phone and/or camera to show one million photos of your little one.

• When you lie about how painful child birth is to people who have never had children or you really “don’t recall.” Total BS! It hurt, even with drugs so god bless the women that do it without the drugs! I give you all of the credit in the world.

• You’ve had to call out of work or cancel a social engagement due to a sick child. 

• When you find yourself stalking other moms on Facebook or other social networks to see what their kids are doing & make sure your kid is up to par. (Terrible thing to do especially for new moms! Don’t do it! Your kid is fine-everyone develops at a different pace.)

• You’ve gotten so excited for a night out, then as soon as you get there, you  realize it’s so much better at home with your lil nugget!

• When you look at your closet & realize that you haven’t bought anything new for your wardrobe since maternity clothes!

(And that’s only cause you HAD to cause nothing else fit!)

• LAST BUT NOT LEAST: When you know the feeling that you get when you’ve had the worst day ever & the only things that will make your bad day disappear  smile is a sloppy kiss or “I love you Mommy” from your child.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Oh yeah and by the way…..

Just a thought.
