You know you're a mother if...


At the end of the day you change into your pajamas and realize there has been poop on your pants all day.

Oh the joy of parenthood! As a parent I have learned that priorities change. You know that is something that all parents will tell you but until you become a parent you cannot truly understand the reality of that concept.

In the last five months I have been pooped on, peed on, puked on countless times. A few years back I could not have imagined being covered in excrement of another person and not feeling grossed out. But it is exactly like people said, the priorities change, the ideas change.

So now I shall continue...
You know you're a mom if...

You narrate, out loud, everything you do in song.

You are excited and relieved for poop!

Someone else tells you there is drool on your arm and you don't even attempt to wipe it off.

You make yourself look ridiculous, just to make him smile.

You suddenly care about what is in food and spend those extra dollars to go organic.

You feel panic-stricken at one little sneeze.

You feel need to pull out the camera for every new thing and take a thousand pictures of a single memory.

You cannot walk out of a store without at least one new toy.

If your hair has not been brushed, your breath can be smelt from a mile a way, your still in your pajamas but feel accomplished because the baby has been fed, changed, and is now down for the nap.

No matter how angry you feel the second the baby starts to babble all the anger melts away.

Now, this is the truth. It is silly and comical but it is reality. To any of my fellow mothers reading this blog feel free to add the funny truths of what it means to be a mother.
