~10 Signs You're a Mom~

10. You don't get annoyed by annoying toys. The noise just doesn't phase you. You can block anything out!!

9. You thoroughly enjoy and truly appreciate the gift of a complete shower (washing hair AND shaving--!!).

8. You know all the words to all the theme songs for shows such as SpongeBob, The Wiggles, and Curious George. Also, you are secretly frightened and/or creeped out by characters such as The Doodlebops, but you allow the children to watch because, well, the laundry has to get done sometime.

7. You talk about poop a lot.

6. It never fails that if you have an important call to make/receive (okay, scratch that-if you have ANY calls) that is the exact time the kids will morph into hungry, screaming creatures who cling to your leg while hollering like they're on fire. If you go outside for peace and quiet they will either lock you out or follow you. You can't win...make calls during naptime.

5. It is perfectly normal to forget what you were talking about halfway through a sentence. It may never come back to you. Ever.

4. Anytime you're out in public and one of the kids starts getting tired of running errands you'll do anything to keep them happy long enough to finish the task at hand. For example: Bursting into song at the supermarket or doing a jig at the bank...and not caring about the funny looks strangers give you.

3. Bribes, threats, begging...ALL acceptable means of getting children to behave.

2. You know that people who don't have kids know everything about child-rearing and you listen patiently to their "advice" and "wisdom" while your eyes glaze over. Then forget everything they said as soon as they're out of sight. Go back to tending to your out-of-control heathens.

And the top sign you're a mommy is:

1. Every once in a while you give your husband The Look, run into the bathroom where you have a stash of magazines and chocolate hidden, and enjoy your "free time"...when hubby comes to the door after 20 minutes to see if you're okay, you moan and say, "Ill be out soon..." That'll get you 10 more minutes.

Don't worry--any momma will agree that it's all worth it.........after they're tucked sound asleep in bed for the night, of course. ;)

I laughed out loud at number 1!!! I do that a lot. :) My eldest daughter found my stash one day and had to promise to tell no one.
