You Know You’re A Mom When-sDaze

Posted on December 15, 2010 Written by Tonya

You know you’re a mom when…

  • You physically walk a toy out to the dumpster so you never have to hear it or trip over it again.
  • You will never move a block, an hour or a state away with a toddler without booking a babysitter for 72 hours.
  • You have been sneezed on hundreds of times. In the mouth.
  • You swear you will never climb through the McDonald’s PlayPlace again. It may say that it is “suitable” for adults, but it’s really not.
  • You consider the person who invented the sippy cup a genius and an idiot. Does one exist that doesn’t leak?!
  • You start to sound like your child.
  • You know for all the awful, annoying, patient-trying, frustrating roller coaster ride of moments, there are, every once in a while, scattered throughout the day, small moments that are pure magic in the life of being a mom.

    i am always throwing my kids toys away… either because they are so annoying… or because they wont take care of them or pick them up.
    they tell me i am wasting money…
    maybe i just shouldn't buy toys??

    My nephew sneezed all over my face once. Now I know to be very careful about hugs when he's sick.

    The toy one and the sneeze one is too close for comfort.

    It should say "are" not "is". Sigh.

    Ugh, the full-face sneeze! And I remember sippy cups were all the rage when the "non-spill" ones first came out, but yeah, they've all leaked!
