Mom

Thursday Thirteen

You know your a mom when

1. You keep catching a whiff of spit-up but can't quite figure out where it is coming from. You suspect it is you.
2. You go to the store without changing your shirt while suspecting that you are wearing spit-up.
3. You can have two conversations at one time.
4. Fingerprints appearing on freshly cleaned windows doesn't surprise you.
5. You can recite a variety of books from memory.
6. You get a dog so your kitchen floor can be clean.
7. You aren't embarrassed when a child starts singing a song about poop in the middle of the store.
8. You don't realize the composer is your child because you started tuning out her voice when she started talking to her imaginary family.
9. You consider telling her to stop singing about poop, but know you will then have to have a conversation about poop in the store. And since you make it a point not to discuss poop in public, decide that a song about poop isn't the worst thing in the world.
10. Nap time is your second favorite time of day following bedtime.
11. You know what an "Ebay Day" is and feels like.
12. You understand why it is dangerous to get between a mama bear and her cubs.
13. Even in the middle of an Ebay Day no one dare hurt one of you little ones for there is nothing better than the "I love you, Mommy," of your child.
