- Shopping for more “stylish” clothes means unripped and unstained sweats and sweatshirts.
- You tell your hairdresser not to cut your hair because you like the look of a long pony tail.
- You eat lunch at 10:30am because you had breakfast 5 hours ago!
- You have more wine in your shopping cart than food.
- You get excited when the mail gets here, because it gives you something to do.
- You have kids show theme songs in your head all day and night.
- You know what poop tastes like.
- You say that you have to go “potty” even when the kids aren’t around.
- Every purse that you look to buy seems too small.
- “Me time” consists of cleaning the kitchen floor while your husband takes the kids upstairs for baths.
- You have said, “do that one more time and you are going to time out,” atleast 5 times before noon.
- You stopped having time to shave above the knee.
- You feel more normal when someone else’s kid has a break down in public.
- Taking a bath seems too exhausting since you would have to take the 20 animals and squeaky toys out first.
- You get excited for kid free events because others get to see what you are actually “supposed” to look like.
- You are asked daily, “Mommy, is that water or alcohol?”
- All you want is time to your self but the moment you have it you miss your kids.
- You start a blog so that you can air out your dirty laundry!
and…
- You go on a much needed vacation with your husband and end up watching home movies of the kids when you get there.

Ha! Love it! I love that about other kids freaking out in public. I actually sigh and smile when it happens.
Oops – didn’t scroll down far enough – should have left my comment here! Oh my, I LOVE this list! I think I feel every single one of these. I have actually told hairdressers before, they could do what they wanted as long as I could still do a ponytail – haha! I have a huge purse, love getting the mail, have hairy legs above the knee and have a kid’s show theme song in my head right now! Awesome post, stopping by from Mama Kat’s
Although my kids are getting older now (they’ll turn 9 & 13 next month) I can relate to most all of these! Especially the one about feeling more normal when someone else’s kid is having a breakdown in public. Lord knows I have experienced my fair share of breakdowns!
“You feel more normal when someone else’s kid has a break down in public.”
This. Exactly. And then I thank my lucky stars that mine are behaving for a change.
