    Love this one!! happens to me all the time.

    this just happened to me... My 3 year old stormed in the bathroom to give me snuggles and tell me she loved me. After she left I was reveling in the sweetness but then remembered that most people can actually use the bathroom alone and would find snuggles in the bathroom quite weird.

    Lets see.... youve spit cleaned a face. I hated when my mom did it to me but sometimes you gotta!

    When you are at the store and you reach in your pocket for change and you pull out a pacifier.

    You go to the fridge and find a toy car.

    You find the milk in the pantry and the cereal in the fridge

    You figure out no matter how cool your truck is, your Mr Cool days are over when you have a car seat in it.

    You pick up your kid from day care on your motorcycle and you ride by the playground so your son can wave at his buddies

    You accidentally let a dirty word slip and then you hear it being echoed behind you! (oops)

    You are walking around at work singing the Veggie Tales song aloud

    -When you can be the favorite at home and completely worthless once you go to Grandma and Grandpa's house
    -When you tell your friends "nigh night" instead of good night.
    -When your first reaction when someone bumps their face is "you broke my smolder" (Tangled) or if you hear someone say pretty please your mind jumps to "the physical appearence of the please will not make a difference" (Despicable Me)
    -When graham crackers, dry cereal, pretzels, and anything else available become "cookies" for the toddler making a scene.
    -When you can't have a conversation without bringing up you child
    -If you have ever yelled "No don't poop in the tub!"
    -When you get a kiss from the boogery & tear covered toddler who finally calmed down from the boo-boo that they got and you are more than happy to get it.
    -When you can understand the gibberish that comes out of their mouths while everyone else just says "huh"
    -If you have ever taken a cart in the grocery store to get 2 things just because they wanted a ride.
    -If your heart has melted when you get home from work at the sound of little feet running over saying "mommy i missed you!"

    When you find bites gone out of english muffins you have laid out by the toaster during breakfast prep..."But, Mommy, I was HUNGRY!"

    When you have rock scratches on the door of your mini-van "cause I was mad at you", then find more squiggly scratches on top of it later "cause I wrote I was sorry and I love you."

    When all your kids grow up, and you celebrate your freedom, until you need accept your grandkids into your life to adopt and raise as your own because one of your adult children just couldn't.

    Saw this on the FlyLady website and thought it would fit perfectly here!

    IF YOU GIVE A MOM A MUFFIN
    If you give a mom a muffin, she'll want a cup of coffee to go with it. She'll pour herself some. Her three-year-old will spill the coffee. She'll wipe it up. Wiping the floor, she will find dirty socks. She'll remember she has to do laundry. When she puts the laundry in the washer, she'll trip over boots and bump into the freezer. Bumping into the freezer will remind her... she has to plan supper. She will get out a pound of hamburger. She'll look for her cookbook. The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail. She will see the phone bill, which is due tomorrow. She will look for her checkbook. The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two-year-old. She'll smell something funny. She'll change the two-year-old. While she is changing the two-year-old the phone will ring. Her five-year-old will answer and hang up. She'll remember that she wants to phone a friend to come for coffee. Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup. She will pour herself some. And chances are, if she has a cup of coffee, her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.

    Whenyour son brings you your running shoes and keys, mostly tolerates a nice long (8 miles today) run, and you're so proud of him for being patient that you drag your tired butt to the San Diego zoo for more hills and walking right after finishing.

    Two more!


    When your 3 year old stands behind you and says "She said don't release that tricep Mom! It makes Jillian ANGRY."


    When you've actually eaten a meal in the shower, because it was the only way to get both a shower and food - in peace.

    I became acutely aware of the amazing gift of being a mother when my son came home from Iraq after a year-long deployment and I got to see the man he had become.

    this one is my favorite!

    when you know more Spanish from watching dora then from taking classes in high school....

    Oh, and when you don't understand what your kids are saying because it's in Spanish, and you decide that you need to watch more Dora!

    When going to the bathroom you sit a little longer just to get some peace and quiet. I find myself doing that often and I take big relaxing deep breath! LOL

    My child comes with me and shouts wee wee at the top of her voice! There's no getting away haha

    Oh goodness..... because we are potty training my daughter, she thinks that you apparently need to hold hands when sitting - she doesn't realize we're just doing that to her in public so she doesn't fall in or touch the seat. So if she manages to get into the bathroom when I'm in there she insists on holding my hands so I don't fall in and then periodically says "done now mommy?" :laugh:

    ---You think "turn off the television" when you hear whistling (Ed, Edd, & Eddy)
    ---When you see Lemon Yellow, Florescent Green, Vivid Purple, and Red and think of your four children on vacation who each had a Teletubby and for the entire vacation they were called by their color.
    ---Looking at an empty dinner table and wishing they were sitting there so much your stomach hurts
    ---Furbies
    ---GameBoys
    ---Bicycles
    ---Scooters
    ---Candy for 4

    I miss those kids..they are grown now. I miss the sleepy reader, the math whiz, the spelling cheerer, and the singer/sport.
