When you children are off at school and your house is too quite - you miss the kids! You start counting the time until they get home!
Oh, Sorry, I Can't Hang With You...I'm Reading Twilight....Again!

" You are my life now." Edward to Bella, Twilight page 314
When you are on the bathroom floor trying to figure out if it was your son or cat who peed on the floor...
You have to decide whether to clean off first the child who just threw up or the dog he just threw up on...
While soaking in a nice hot tub with nothing but the girls bobbing above water level, you open your eyes to see your son showing you a picture in his book...
After a hair coloring gone bad which results in burgundy(bright burgundy) hair and your son says "mommy your hair is beautiful!"
OH my goodness..yes! I can say with certianty that I've experienced almost everything here! I can also add a few....
You know you're a mom....
...... when your words come back to haunt you all the way down to the inflection of your voice. You also learn that there are phrases you DEFINITLEY overuse.
......when you find that you can't manage to complete one meal without having to share some with your preschooler and/or your newborn deciding that she wants to breastfeed for the next 30 minutes while your food gets cold.
......when you can't even complete this short of a post without having to stop five times to help your preschooler wipe his bottom, calm down the crying two month old, and explain to your huband that it's YOUR TURN to spend all day on the computer goofing off...it's only fair he gets it every waking hour he's not at work any other day!
......When you have to remind your husband that we're the parents and it's not the best idea to encourage your 3 1/2 year old to climb the various pieces of furniture in the house and jump off yelling "I am Han Solo!"
...when you don't MIND listening to Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers for the millionth time...
When you get home from work (or where ever) and walk through the door the first words you hear is "MOMMY'S HOOOOOOOOOME" Then your leg is tackled by a 2 year old.
When your daughter has a bad dream, you open the door to see here sitting on the edge of her bed clutching her baby doll for dear life, you cant help but say.."Wanna sleep in mommy's bed." all of a sudden she's not screaming SCARY SCARY SCARY any more and gives you the BIGGEST hug ever.
You dont answer your phone or IM's because you and your daughter are watching Ni-How Ki-Lan.
Your husband doesnt answer his phone or IM's because he is watching Pablo trying to catch a butterfly on Backyardigans..and hes watching BY HIMSELF!!!
You know the daily show run on NOGGIN from 6am-8am by heart
Twilight, Twi-bright, first vamp I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, see Edward Cullen in my dreams tonight.
-You can quote just about every Spongebob episode.
-You know the names of at least 5 Pokemon.
-You don't mind waking up at 3am with your sick child, just to rub his back while he's throwing up.
-You find yourself hysterically laughing just because your child is hysterically laughing, even when you don't think what they're laughing at was funny to begin with.
-Feeling like a million bucks when your baby girl snuggles into your shoulder for no reason at all.
You ladies are freakin' hilarious. I remember all of those moments with sadness. I now have*gasp* 2 teenage girls at home
My oldest DD, 20, is at college. Now, the things I'm saying aren't so sweet anymore:
Get off the phone,computer,the couch,the chair, your sister!
Clean your room!
Put the clean clothes in the dresser/closet and NOT on the floor
Put your dirty clothes in the hamper
Feed/water the dog/cat, and change the litterbox!
unload it if it needs to be, and reload it when you are done
and on, and on.
One very sweet story tho. My youngest DD had an UGLY stuffed duck that she carried everywhere, and played with like it was a doll. 11 years ago when she was 3, we were returning from Disney at a very late hour. As we were waiting at the airport baggage claim, DD fell asleep in a chair. After we got our luggage, picked DD off chair, we trudged to the longterm parking lot to drive the 1 hour trip home. When we got home, put DD to bed, yep, NO duckie. Now at three years old, Duckie had issues. He had a hole in his neck that had been repaired twice and was coming undone again,missing some"fur on his back, and his silky ribbon was no longer blue but grey.He was no longer bright yellow, but rather a very pale yellow with brown/grey undertones. I called airport lost/found and lo and behold, Duckie had made his way there. My DH drove the next day to pick up Duckie, and we all lived happily ever after. Duckie is still with us today, looking all of his almost 15 years old. Ladies, we all know who turned that well worn and well loved duck in, don't we. Of course it was a Mom, anyone else would have ignored it or thrown it in the trash!!
Many thanks to sisterblysse for my siggy! And to my daughter for my avitar!

When you have to tell your son to stop wiping his boogers on the couch
That was today's latest.
When a crying child wakes you up in the middle of the night calling, "Mommy, mommy!" And no one else is even stirring to deafening roar, but you do.
When you find yourself having conversations with other people while addressing the answers to your newborn who refuses to let you not pay attention to them. Also when people ask you questions through your children. ex. "and how old are you sweetie" said to a four month old or a toddler who doesn't know how old they are. That is always so awkward.
