(A lot of my own, some I have heard/read other places. Other Mothers, feel free to add your own)
* While scheduling a doctor's appointment and they ask for your name you say, "Mommy"
* You forget your wallet on the way out but remember to bring diapers, wipes, toys, snacks, and extra clothes.
* When you put on a little makeup your little one says in amazement, "Wow! Mommy you look so beautiful!"
* While doing household chores you automatically set up a little station for your little helper to clean right along with you.
* Cutting up your food for the baby is second nature, even when they are not around.
* Upon hearing a baby/toddler cry while out sans children, you grab your cell phone to call and make sure your babies are okay.
* While out on a romantic dinner with your husband all that the two of you can talk about are the children.
* You pick up your children and sniff their butts in public without batting an eye.
* You have caught spit up in your hand.
* You consider the inventor of the Sippy Cup a genius.
* Every crying spell and/or tantrum can be chalked up to teething.
* "No" is the most frequently used word in your vocabulary
* You ask where "the potty" is.
* An escape is washing dishes without someone clinging to your leg.
* Cleaning the bathrooms with the door shut while the husband watches the children is the highlight of your day.
* Your DVR is loaded with more children's shows than your own.
* When you have to use the bathroom you sneak out of the room then count the seconds until the knocking starts or the door bursts open.
* You only have time to shave one leg per shower session.
* Your feet stick to the kitchen floor and you don't care.
* When your child prefers to go naked/pant less/shirtless you think that it is okay as long as you are at home. It is just not worth the argument.
* You do not object to chicken nuggets or macaroni and cheese for breakfast
* Ketchup is not a condiment, but is it's own food group
* You can breast feed, talk on the phone, discipline a child, and read a book all at the same time
* You spend an entire week, hell a month, wearing only sweats.

Hilarious, Natalie!
We'll add a few:
-Your idea of cleaning the floor means letting the youngest scavenge his own snack from the crumbs.
-You'll be very happy to finish a half-eaten chicken nugget as long as it was only licked by your own child.
-You say "fingers don't go there" for a variety of reasons, too often, and in public.
-"Hot food" is something you only get a restaurants.
-You know why your own mother always asked for "peace and quiet" for Christmas, birthdays and Mother's Day.
Thanks for sharing your humor :)
