You Know You’re A Mom When-sDaze

Posted on September 14, 2010 Written by Tonya

You know you’re a mom when…

  • You’re grateful for any and all naps, no matter how short they may be.
  • A rare GNO is all fun and games until you wake up the next morning hungover and have to care for your tot. Ugh! When will I learn?
  • You will endure episode after episode of Play With Me Sesame and The Backyardigans because they calm your child and the look on his face is pure delight.
  • No matter how many times you triple check the diaper bag, you will forget something absolutely essential.
  • You think to yourself almost on a daily basis “boy, this kid goes through diapers/ shoes/formula/yogurt/puffs etc., etc. fast!”.
  • You wonder how on earth you are going to keep up with all the Fall shows. Thank goodness for TiVo!
  • Even though you may think your voice is horrendous, your child doesn’t and that’s a good thing because you l-o-v-e singing to him.

If you nodded at even one of these, you know you could come up with your own list. Share them with us by linking up at Mommy of a Monster.

    Love it….you are so good at these! I keep meaning to link one up again soon! Great list.

    Oh, and I have a horrible voice, but loved how my kids would smile SO BIG when I sang! Not now, however…run and hide is more like it!

    Yes, thank God for TiVo! As for GNO, I'm getting to the point where I ask myself if it's even worth it! And I love to sing…and they don't know how horrible it is yet 🙂

    Naps and bedtime are the best times of the day!

    I am loving your new look! And it's so hard not to enjoy GNO…but you always pay for it.

    Oh, the singing thing. Your child must be more polite than my big-lunged three-year-old, who now tells me to STOP SINGING I NEED TO BE THE ONE SINGING THIS SONG IS ONLY FOR ME TO SING STOOOOOOP

    (Perhaps it isn't a problem of lungs. Perhaps my voice is just really, really bad. Huh. Food for thought.)

    LOL @ Kate above! My kids ask me to stop singing too. I try not to take it *too* personally. 😉

    Great list. And I agree…Thank God for TiVo!

    Ugh, i cannot imagine being hungover and taking care of a child.. I can't even really take care of myself very well when I'm hungover….
