* It's two o'clock in the afternoon and you still haven't brushed your teeth...or gotten out of your pajamas.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
* It's been three days since you took a legitimate shower, because during nap time you would rather clean the house, fold clothes, or sit on the computer and waste time on Facebook.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
* You are the last person to sit down at the dinner table because you are waiting on everyone else. You might also be a mother if you can't begin and end an entire meal without feeding another person, spanking another person, or making a trip to the bathroom for another person.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
* Having a regular conversation about poop, pee-pee, private parts, booties, and boogers are a daily (no hourly) occurrence.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
* You can't sit on the toilet without someone following you into the bathroom...or staring between your legs to see what surprise is in the toilet.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
* Bribing has become your best friend, and white lies aren't a sin as long as it gets your child to eat their dinner.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*You don't think twice about wiping poop off of someone else's be-hind!
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*You get really excited about picking a tricky booger out of someone else's nose. It's like a small accomplishment on your part:)
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*Lying on the couch, watching your favorite show, snacking on your favorite treat, without interruption....is just a fairytale you dream about.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*Your body is no longer yours. It's a feeding machine, jungle gym, mode of transportation, pillow, or bed.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*The last time you watched Grey's Anatomy was when George was still alive, but you know what Phineas and Ferb are up to.
BUT THEN AGAIN, YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*You love a person more than yourself, so much you would DIE to prevent any pain on their part.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*You long to have free time away from your child, but when you do get it...you can't stop thinking about them and can't wait to see them again.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*The greatest joy in the earthly world is hearing your own child say, "I love you, Mommy."
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*Your favorite thing to do is kiss all over your child
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*You will never be able to fall asleep until you know 100% your child is already sleeping.
YOU MIGHT BE MOTHER IF...
*The cry from your baby is recognizable in a crowded room full of other crying babies.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*The sound of your child laughing is the most joyful noise to your ears.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*Your child is the most beautiful kid God ever created....and seriously...they are! ;)
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*Your entire world has been turned upside down and you suddenly forgot about your needs, and all you care about is what your child needs.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*Your kisses alone can heal a 'boo-boo'.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*Your touch and embrace alone can calm a crying baby.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*The realization that all that petty stuff before: like the clothes, the job, the status, the ring, the house....doesn't really matter all that much anymore.
YOU MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF...
*You finally understand the love God has for us as his children, because you certainly know you would sacrifice anything for your own child.
