You Know You’re A Mom When-sDaze

Posted on October 20, 2010 Written by Tonya

You know you’re a mom when…

  • Inevitably, immediately after finishing your chores, just when you are about to sit down and relax, your child will throw up all over himself and the freshly cleaned floors for no apparent reason.
  • You keep thinking: maybe this time he won’t eat the crayons.
  • You are shocked, amazed and more than slightly annoyed that when your son doesn’t go to sleep until after 9 PM, he still wakes up at 5 AM!
  • You are shocked, amazed and more than slightly annoyed that with all the toys your kid has, he wants to play with a stapler, sunglasses, clock, wallet and trash can.
  • There will come a day when your tot will ask to have Cheez-Its for breakfast and you will give them to him.
  • You’re a little sad each time you have to retire a favorite article of your child’s clothing.

Be sure to link up with your own You Know You’re a Mom When-sDaze list at Mommy of a Monster.

    Oh my gosh, the clothes that no longer fit has been by far the saddest part of motherhood so far. I've been known to try to squeeze him into my favorite outfits "just one more time" because I can't bare to throw them in the "Doesn't fit" pile and never see him in them again. So sad.

    Cheez-Its really fill them up. And if that's what they want, and they'll eat it, go for it!

    When the girls get all whiny, I always tell them they need to play with the 1,048 toys that are lying on the floor, or else! Sheesh!

    So true! What *is* it about crayons?

    I packed pop-tarts for my kids' school lunches last week. At least the cheez-its were in the privacy of your own home!

    Oh, and the clothes. They do make me sad. Sigh.
