You know your a mom when...

Happens to fathers too. Ever started singing a disney song in public? Akuna Ma tatta...

You know your a mom when ... Your in a store and you hear a child calling mom or mommy and you look right away. You walk into a room and step on toys. You go on a "date" with your hubby and all you think about, talk about, and do is call home to see how your child is doing. You go into the same room a few times a night before going to bed to make sure your child is asleep and tucked in. You say at least once a day, I'm not cut out for this job, but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Love & Hugzz, Your Friend, PurpleTeddyBear ;)

I made my husband a sandwich for lunch recently (normally I only make sandwiches for our toddler, and sometimes myself) and cut it into a pumpkin with a cookie cutter. I didn't even notice that I did it. And he didn't notice it either, until he was at work eating it and someone else commented. lol He's finished so many shaped sandwiches that our son didn't want after all that he didn't think it was weird to eat one, even at work. I've also caught myself watching Dora even when my son is asleep or upstairs playing with daddy.

YOu know that you are a mom if you see a child with the age like your child get hurt and you feel the pain and think of your own child. You know youre a mom that when you know you are going out with your kids, instead of make ups... its their towel thats in your bag. You know youre a mom when you have an extra money and you head yourself to the toy and kids section in the department store.

You know your a mom when you're in a store and a child is calling their mother and you answer! You know you're a mom when you are out shopping alone and immediatly head for the kids clothing dept. even if you are there to buy something else!

Well this is good, I always use a crayon, better than fighting the kids over the pencils. I realized i was a mom when i started saying I have to potty when i go to the bathroom. When i stopped sleeping. Yeah Sleep I remember that, good times good times... Another big one for me and this may be dumb but i get so angry when my kids are saying hello to someone and they ignore them. I want to fight I get so mad. I know dumb, but I love my boys.

LOL I remember that :) As I remember opening my purse and come up with pacifier, face cloths, diapers.. anything but what I needed. Another thing that I remember well and still do sometimes is that whenever I"m standing on the phone or waiting for something I tend to keep shifting back and fort like when I was rocking my daughter when she had colic.- and she is now 17 years old LOL ALso I would always look around when I heard a baby cry even when I know that mine wasn't there, but it was a reflex that I couldn't stop:)

You know you are a mom to a little boy when you go to pay for something at the store and you have to first remove the toy dinosaur, the 4 toy cars, a plastic spider, 3 plastic flies, 2 large rocks and a pair of very dirty socks from your purse just so you can get to your wallet. It's a true story. I had to take all that stuff out of my purse at WalMart to pay for milk, bread and cheese the other day. The lady at the check out just smiled and asked how old my son was. When my son was younger, I once went to get my wallet out of my purse and found 2 diapers, a small tube of diaper cream, an empty packet of baby wipes, three pacifiers and a packet of formula in there. I too take messages in crayon on old magazines and coloring books. I think the best message ever was written in purple crayon on the back of a clean diaper. My hubby took the message. Imagine the amusement of everyone who read that my sister had called me and wanted to know if I still wanted her to pick up those diet pills at the pharmacy. I couldn't waste that diaper, they aren't cheap. :)

well you always know when you are a mom when other parents at the stores are calling out names and you just start answering them like it was your kid,also when your making food and your kids arent even here to eat it,or when your inside your house alone and you start watching your kids favorite shows and they arent even there.i do that alot lol.pattie

You know your a mom when you start going through a whole bottle of laundry stain remover a week. You know you are a mom of a BOY when you step in a puddle of pee next to the toilet at 3am.

haha,i know i'm a mom when i have a baby in the future.I'm not a mom yet.Hope to be a good one later.:)

I have written plently of messages in crayon myself! I know I am mom when I am in an adult conversation and I say I will be back because I have to go potty, sometimes I catch myself before I say it and sometimes I don't, kinda of embarrassing but funny none the less!

You know you're a mom when you start your car and "Disney Tunes" begins to play and you sing along...loudly...even though your kids are not in there with you!

You use baby talk while speaking with clients (with the small white patch of spit up on your shoulder) and have no idea why they don't take you seriously at work :) :)

I've done sooo many things listed throughout here! :) You know your a Mom when... You get home from dropping your child off at school and realize that you left the television on...Instead of turning it off you sit down to watch the next program! When you randomly throughout the day find yourself humming or singing aloud the song to Wonder Pets, or Dora, or Blue etc. When you grab a marker or crayon to take that phone message and all you have to write on is the scrap of constuction paper or page of a colouring book! When you say on any given day "Do you want a time out?" and it's not your child! When you see a young child in the store and know how old they are and wish yours was that small again! You know the entire script of Cars the Movie word for word And so much more! Thanks for the excellent discussion! I have thouroughly enjoyed reading all of the posts...

The one that always gets me is I'm finally away from the kids for a little while. We're in a crowd of people, and some kid yells "Mommy!" I start to look around, even though I know where my kids are and this one doesn't even sound like either of mine. That is a true Mommy Moment there.

For me, I realized I was a full blown mom when my friend took my youngest (2 at the time) while my older 2 were in school. I left to go grocery shopping and glanced in the rearview and panicked for a second when I didn't see him looking back at me! I was jumpy for the rest of the day! LOL! You know you are a mom when you get up at 2am to get someone a drink of water and can manuever around all toys in the pitch black house without stubbing your toe or spilling a drop.
