As I was searching around the internet, I found a fun and fantastic blog post called
"100 Ways You Know You're a Mom".
It is such a great post that I thought I'd share my top personal favorites from her list and a few of my own original ones as well.
How many fit you?
~ 35 Ways I Know I'm a MOM ~
- A trip to the grocery store alone is my idea of a spontaneous getaway.
- If I don’t change the toilet paper roll, it doesn’t get changed.
- I have a hard time remembering what the words “personal space” mean.
-
I consider Goldfish crackers a food group.
-
I listen to my kids' favorite music
even when I'm driving by myself.
- I can’t remember the last time sat down to a meal first.
-
You wish there was drive through or delivery for everything (food, groceries, doctors, groceries. . . )
- I can do 18 things all at the same time.
- I start to do 18 things all at the same time but never complete any of them
- After completing some of those 18 things, the kids undo each and every one so it looks like you never did anything.
- I consider going to the bathroom or showering uninterrupted the height of luxury.
- I can grab something from the backseat of the car (or in the diaper bag) without even looking.
- I know how badly stepping on a piece of Lego can hurt.
- I have an entire Pinterest board full of crafts that I most likely will never get around to actually doing.
- I think wrestling baby alligators would be easier than getting kids in bed on time.
- My husband tells me it isn’t worth buying nice furniture or new carpet until the kids go off to college.
- I cry with happiness when one of my children eats carrots.
- I tell myself that pizza has all the food groups.
- Some days I just want to quit motherhood or take a VERY long vacation.
- I haven’t slept in over a decade.
- I have clothes in every size under the sun, many of which I'll never fit in but refuse to get rid of "just in case"
-
I obsess over whether or not I remembered to sign that permission slip.
- Caffeine is one of my love languages. (Mt. Dew the breakfast of champion moms!)
- I will never ever be able to sort, process or print all the photos you take. (and they will most likely never make it into the photo albums)
- I would rather have someone help you with the housework than anything else in the world.
- I wish all my kids had a built in GPS.
- I have several story books and most children's videos memorized. (and almost all veggietales movies)
- I have made s’mores on a campfire, on the kitchen stove, and even in the microwave.
- I didn’t know T-Ball could be more exciting than the World Series.
- Cereal is a breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner kind of food at my house.
- I loathe having to match socks. (and often throw dozens away that have remained unmatched for months)
-
Having kids has taught me how to love and be loved like nothing else on earth.
- I do more multitasking in an average day than any CEO.
- I pray. About everything. Because I’ve learned I can hardly control anything.
- My job description could fill an entire book. (or maybe even a library)
Go ahead, share it, tweet it, pin it, and pass it on! But please don't copy and paste my list, just share a few of your favorites and then link back here or to the original post here.

Haha, I don't have kids but I love goldfish. I'm stopping by from the blog hop, i'm a new follower. I hop your having a great Saturday!
ReplyI love this! Goldfish are totally a food group at this point. And Legos, matchbox cars and action figures should be considered weapons of torture haha!
