You know your a mom when..

[starrynight]

You go to make yourself a sandwich and before you realize it, you have cut the crusts off and cut it in half. :+ I'm a dork LOL

[ginalc]

Or when you've dropped the kids off and find yourself singing to the song playing in the car. After enjoying the tune, you realize it's BARNEY and there are NO CHILDREN WITH YOU IN THE CAR!!! :)

I just got back from running errands and realized that I had been listening to the Wiggles the entire time, and DS was NOT with me!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

Yesterday, I went over a speed bump in the car and said "Weeehhh!" and Julia was not in the car with me.

I licked my finger and wiped a smudge off my friends face!!!!! I WAS SOOOO EMBARRASSED when I realized what I did because she was staring at me shocked.

I am a bit older than some on here and one time after watching my nieces I was driving around with a friend of mine and I gave him the "four inch horizontal bruise" across his chest when we stopped really quick in the car.

I asked a grown adult how she got the "boo-boo" on her knee.

You watch SITC and look at strollers/carriers/highchairs instead of what the girls are wearing!

When driving in the car, you point out horseys and cows and big diggers to whoever's with you, regardless of their age.

You announce to a group of adults, "I'll be back, I need to go potty"

[MartiesMom2B]

You carry around a package of Pampers wipes in your fake Kate Spade bag. (Hey I'm on a baby bargains board, do you think I'm going to shell out the money on a real one) ;)

You find yourself offering wipes to strangers in the food court! ;)

.... you turn to say something to dh (after talking to ds) and forget to change your voice.

... you call your friends kids (and your friends) "honey" or "sweetie".

... you go around with Veggie Tales songs stuck in your head... because you really like them!


... you want to go out without the kids and you cannot find your purse because you haven't used it in AGES!

Hee hee... the list goes on!

[ktdid74]

...when you're at the post office and you realize you're swaying side to side holding a package, not the baby.

[himom]

Your boss tells you she's going to lunch and you respond, "Okay, you go mum-mum."

Bonus points when, because she's a mom too, she says "Okay, bye" and leaves without missing a beat.

...when you drool over you're new, snazzy stroller like you used to drool over a piece of silk lingerie, a piece of jewelry, or anything else you used to drool over when you were childless.

>I licked my finger and wiped a smudge off my friends
>face!!!!!

Kim,

You really do when the prize with that one! I'm struggling to think of something more Momlike than licking your thumb and going after some pesky piece of stuck-on dirt.

[jojo2324]

You go to TJ Maxx (or any store really) and head right to the children's department, even bypassing women's SHOES!!!

Or you give yourself whiplash and scare the cripes out of your DH by making him think you just might jump out of the moving car when you *think* you see a Bugaboo rolling by...All while screaming in some non-human pitch.

[toomanystrollers]

You start calling your dogs your kids' names and vice-versa!!

[cdlamis]

Katie-
I loved your post about swaying with a package in your hand. I do that all the time!

I call all my friends kids "sweetie or baby" which is what I call my kids.

Kim, you win with wiping dirt off a friend! LOL

I have been shopping without my kids and here a little voice say "mom" and answer "what" them realize um wasn't my kid ;).

[momathome]

You find yourself planting kisses on booboos of random children you pass throughout the day without giving it a second thought.

P.S. Dh just passed by while I writing my post, read it and laughed, and told me to say "hi" to my friends for him!
