You've Turned Into A Mom When......(for Andrea and Bunny)

[Ann]

You automatically double-knot everything you tie.

You find yourself humming the Barney song as you do the dishes.

You hear a baby cry in the grocery store, and you start to gently sway back and forth, back and forth. However, your children are at school!

You actually start to like the smell of strained carrots mixed with applesauce.

You weep through the scene in Dumbo when his mom is taken away, not to mention what Bambi does to you.

You get soooo into crafts you contemplate writing a book called 101 Fun Crafts to do with Dryer Lint and Eggshells.

You spend a half hour searching for your sunglasses only to have your teenager say, "Mom, why don't you wear the ones you pushed up on your head?"

You are out for a nice romantic meal with your husband, enjoying some real adult conversation, when suddenly you realize that you've reached over and started to cut up his steak!

[Gwen, Daddy's girl]

When your purse contains: matchbox cars. babywipes, 2 pacifiers, smashed lipstick (somebody twisted the bottom), and a partly wrapped lollipop.

When you'vr left the children with the sitter and are driving out to dinner with your husband and say "Lookie, choo choo train."

You feel naked if you leave the house without a diaper bag on your shoulder and a child on your hip.

When you actually like to kiss feet.

When you talk on the phone, change a diaper, and dress a child, all at the same time.

When perfume spritzer serves as your shower for the day.

When you become completely unphased about having company while going to the bathroom.

[Gwen, Daddy's girl]

When you have the power to "kiss the booboo and make it better"

[ztweb]

When you thank God every night for the joy in the next room, even though s/he pooped out of the diaper, spilled the sugar container, opened up the sippy cut to pour out the contents, and dropped his/her tooth brush in the toilet all before bedtime.

Is it bad that I've done that cutting up other people's food thing? I buttered my father in law's bread this past weekend!!
