    ....you talk the ear off of the first adult that engages you in conversation because you haven't had an adult conversation in a while.

    When your friends are letting you listen to their voice mail because your 1 1/2 year old called them and left a message.

    We got a phone call from a guy in New York (we live in California) saying he received our call but wasn't able to make out what was said on the voicemail. He was a real estate agent I guess and thought we were trying to buy something.

    ....when you laugh hysterically every single time you see the preview of the zebra singing his "Afro circus Afro circus polka dot polka dot polka dot Afro circus" song on the latest Madagascar movie. Even if you're the only one in the room.
    ....and when you are looking forward to seeing this movie more than your five year old.

    Yep. I'm a momma.

    Have you seen the one where they remix it in with Move It? OMG It sounds SO COOL

    When you accidentally learn the words to the Fresh Beat Band songs, even though you have never actually sat down and watched an episode.

    .... You can't find a clean cup and then finally find them all in the freezer full of rocks and leaves and branches and water for an "ice experiment".

    ... You find yourself looking on the MFP database for half a piece of a pizza crust for your daily diary.

    ... Your rubber boot is full of legos.

    ... You wake up out of a dead sleep in the middle of the night realizing the Tooth Fairy hasn't made certain deliveries.


    Love the post about having a towel in the car for wet playgrounds. I remember doing that!

    When you are enjoying the Yo Gabba Gabba concert more than your kids are.

    When you get excited that a new episode of Good Luck Charlie comes on. (Amy is lookin good these days)

    When you yell out "SLUG BUG" only to remember your son is at school and it doesn't count.

    When you wake up for no reason at 4:30, and you decide to go ahead and get up so you can caffeinate before your kids get up at the crack of dawn. Because they will be firing off a thousand questions a minute, and you know you won't be able to handle it if you haven't given your brain time to warm up first.

    Which fruit salad song? "Fruit salad, a big fruit salad, it's our favorite thing to eat!" Is that the one? From Nick Jr.? I love that song. Such a funky song for a food. :laugh:

    when you find more items in the cart are "for the kids" and not you.

    from a mom of 2 year old twins...

    - when there is more wallpaper on the floor than on the wall
    -when your Christmas nativity scene is reenacting "the amazing race" around your house each day
    -when your nightstand has holes in the varnish because no on told you teething medicine eats varnish
    -you undress for the day and pacifiers and toys fall out
    -the bottom of your car looks like a sea of spawning goldfish
    -two layers of makeup aren't enough to cover the dark circles under your eyes
    -you find your toddler writing checks for you from your wallet
    -when you are on your fourth temporary replacement ATM card in 5 weeks, ( cause there is a pic of "MOMMY!!" on it)
    -when your new perfume is peanut butter
    -when you carpet looks like a flashback from the 70's
    -when it takes 15 mins to load the car to go 5 mins away


    I really enjoyed reading this!

    Yummy yummy yummy fruit salad!!!! I'm forever singing this song
    When catching spitup is no big deal at all
    When you can take pictures of your daughters art work in permantent marker...on her stomach
    When you can tell it's your own kid who has a suspect diaper in a room full of kids
    When you consider a shower your "me" time
    When your kids share their food with you and you take a bite of the slobber covered food just to see them smile
    When you love jamming out to Elmo and I know it!!!
