    I can't sleep for more than 4 hours without waking myself up to check on her breathing, she's almost 2 1/2.

    Trying to get ready for work last night found myself sucked into "How to Train Your Dragon" just by walking thru the living room. Stood there for 20 minutes watching before I realized I was going to be late for work if I didn't get moving lol.

    know it by heart. Even had a a how to train your dragon cake for my son's birthday, I have to say, it is one of the better ones for him to be obsessed with.

    Definitely better than when my oldest was little and was obsessed with Babe and Babe:Pig in the City. OMG those movies were cute at first but after weeks and weeks of everyday nonstop watching....eesh.

    Oh favorite is when they are saying something and it sounds totally different.

    "Clock" to "Co*k"
    or
    "mommy look at my funky hair" to "mommy look at my Fuc**en hair"

    LOL. My 2yr old daughter sz choc for chocolate of course choc sounds like co*k. So I get her to tell her daddy "I love chocolate". Is that bad? :laugh:

    lots that could be listed.... but:

    taking at least an extra 1/2 hour to grocery shop because it's so hard to even think when you have a little one in the cart asking for things...

    hardly being able to get to use the family computer if you have teenagers in the house (i resort to using my laptop in a cabin we have outside!)

    barely being able to leave the house 'ready'.... everyone else is ready to go (packed, have their things, dressed, cleansed, etc...) but ME!

    planning any 'me' time around a hopeful/possible naptime!

    Knowing the theme songs to Phineas and Ferb, Spongebob, Shake it Up, Chugginton, and a list of others. :laugh:

    Getting to a point where it was not shocking to be vomited on, peed on, or spit up on.

    Being okay with stuffed animals being part of the decor in the family room, dining room, hallway...

    Sitting down your snack, drink, or anything that you are eating to go do something and coming back to it all gone. :tongue:

    I let the kids paint my face then completely forgot about it. Later ran errands wearing bad cat face paint and like the sticker person, no one said a word.

    So terribly sorry...but this had me laughing!:laugh:

    Uncontrollable humming/singing of Camp Rock & High School Musical songs. :sad:

    No Joe Jonas, the voice you hear inside your head is me telling you to STFU!

    Finding 2 packages of fruit snacks in my purse when what I really needed was a tampon.....

    I, too, quote Phineas and Ferb.

    dong my best not to crack up when my oldest gives me the remedy of his own making for the wrinkles on my chest ( too much sun when i was younger) MOM all you have to do is get this shirt to seperate " those things" ( my breasts) so they dont touch while you sleep and then the wrinkles will go away.

    Singing the whole intro to Jake and the neverland Pirates... when there is not a child in site.

    Yep I am a Mom

    the stupidest movie ever made...

    "Shark boy and Lava girl"

    A movie that needs to be watched everyday? Ask my 3 & 6 year olds... it is a MANDITORY movie..
    Cars or Cars 2

    I've watched everyday I've spent with them for the last 365 days. Now we've added Tangled into the mix.

    Oh man, I love Tangled! Cars is okay, but I am SO sick of it too! My son is obsessed with the Ninja turtles cartoon that I stupidly bought on dvd.....
