YOU KNOW YOU'RE A MUNCHKIN MOMMY WHEN...

Mothers Day is this Sunday - YAY! Here is a list of random thoughts I had over a couple of days about being a mommy. I went to the store one day without the munchkins and I thought to myself "I wonder if people can tell I'm a mom?" When I got to the register to pay for my stuff - I pulled out a toy block and a random spoon while trying to find my wallet... yeah they can tell! hahahahahah

You know you're a munchkin mommy when:
  • You can't find anything to wear, but your daughter has plenty of outfits at her disposal.
  • Even though you don't have cable you somehow know the theme song to Elmo's World and Thomas the Train.
  • The first things you pack for a vacation is diapers and sippy cups.
  • You've memorized 'Brown Bear', 'The Foot Book', 'Goodnight Moon', and can easily recite them anywhere - over lunch, driving the car, changing a diaper... wherever.
  • The cashier at BRU knows your child's favorite snack (yay grapes)
  • You know what BRU stands for - Babies "R" Us
  • Everyone else's snot is disgusting except your child's - who you easily wipe their nose with the palm of your hand during cold season.
  • Cheerleader is your middle name. Everything deserves a clap from crawling to walking to talking - geesh even burping ;-)
  • You go from a loving your Sentra to feeling comfortable in your Camry to needing a Highlander.
  • At first you only use the cutesy burp cloths, then you quickly realize that anything can be used as a burp cloth - shirts, towels, socks...
  • You know the location of the restroom in every store you go in - and you know which ones have the cleanest changing stations.
  • Pacifiers and sippy cups are strategically placed around the house for easy access - but you can't find some lip gloss or chapstick to save your life.
  • You hawk the children websites waiting for the free shipping deals.
  • After having a few too many 'fall outs' in restaurants, you now put in your child's food order as soon as the waiter comes and asks "What would you like to drink?".
  • Black Friday in addition to including the standard stores now has Toys "R" Us on the list.
  • You trade in art museums for childrens museums.
  • You dread the day when your child recognizes the horrible yellow M and that happy meal.
  • Milk was never a staple in your house - now its Armageddon if you're down to half a gallon. 
  • Exercise?!!? huh?!?! Does running after/chasing/tracking down a toddler count? 
  • You start squirreling away change weekly to help pay for college - even though you know its gonna cost your house literally to pay for college when they're grown.
