And all you other mommies.........

YOU KNOW YOU'RE REALLY A MOM WHEN...

1. You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're equal.

2. You want to take out a contract on the kid who broke your child's favorite toy and made him/her cry.

3. You have time to shave only one leg at a time.

4. You hide in the bathroom to be alone.

5. Your child throws up and you catch it.

6. Someone else's kid throws up at a party and you keep eating.

7. You consider finger paint to be a controlled substance.

8. You mastered the art of placing food on a plate without anything touching.

9. Your child insists that you read "Once Upon a Potty" out loud in
the lobby of the doctor's office, and you do it.

10. You hire a sitter because you haven't been out with your husband in ages, then spend half the night talking about and checking on the kids.

11. You hope ketchup is a vegetable because it's the only one your child eats.

12. You can't bear the thought of your daughter's first boyfriend.

13. You hate the thought of her husband even more.

14. You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into unusual shapes.

15. You fast-forward through the scene when the hunter shoots
Bambi's mother.

16. You obsess when your child clings to you upon parting during his first month at school, then obsess when he skips in without
looking back the second month.

17. You can't bear to give away baby clothes -- it's so final.

18. You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when
you say, "Not in your good clothes."

19. You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you.

20. You read that the average 5-year-old asks 437 questions a day and feel proud that your kid is "above average."

21. You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job," but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything.
 
Thank you Ann. Your so very sweet. You made my day. Kara is doing better. No fever today. Swimming is out for the rest of the trip. :( Hard when the temptation is outside your door. This is our first time to Phoenix. Beautiful place. We can spend the rest of our time exploring.:)
 
Bunny, your kidding. Gina! Hank and I were just talking about another Gina joining VR.com one day. Here you are.:D
 
Yep, it's true. I'm a Gina! Here I be. :)

Oh sorry Hensylee I'm not plannin on being a mom any time soon. Unless you count my adorable pets. :)

Where's my kleenex????

Where's my kleenex????

First Hensylee has me laughing until I wanted to cry and now that poem you added, pegne, really got the tears flowing.....:p
Thanks for sharing, you two. There's nothing like being a mom!:D
 
hi all!
those were great!!! there truly is nothing like being a mom_ i can't imagine life without kids!!!

just thought i'd add to the list of "mommy-isms":

The Images of Mother
4 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE ~ Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.
16 YEARS OF AGE ~ Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE ~ That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE ~ Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 YEARS OF AGE ~ Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

hope you are all well, sylvia
 
Wow, Sylvia, the last line of your post got me. I say it every day. Mother and I used to talk on the phone 2-3-4 times a day, sometimes for hours. Or I would go see her. After her death, I wrote to her many, many times and it helped. Now, I just look in the mirror and by golly, there she is.

hi ann!
i was truly touched by your post. i, too, talk to my mom all the time. now that i have two teenage daughters, i can understand that poem a bit better and anticipate the years to come.
i love what you said about seeing your mother when you look in the mirror.
how beautiful.
stay well, sylvia
 
Stay way away

Stay way away

Ross - You could die from an overdose of female hormones on this thread. I'd stay so far away they wouldn't hear or see ya. Chris
