You Might Be a Mom If...

A few days ago, I eluded alluded (thanks, grammar Nazi :) ) to this post on my Facebook page. The last month has brought many moments that have had me saying 'Well...that's not normal.' Except that it is, now. It's just a new normal. So here's my list of signs that you might be a mom:

1. If you've ever been humming a catchy tune in your office during the day, and realized that it is actually a Mozart number...from the baby's sound machine.

2. If you've ever reached into your coat pocket for gloves, and instead returned with several snotty tissues, a pacifier, and a plastic set of 'car keys'.

3. If you've ever fed the baby, realized she smelled so you changed her, re-dressed her, put her to bed, and still smelled it...and then realized she left you a little something on your pants, and that it was you who may be the smelly one.

4. If you've ever raced home to change between work and another meeting, pulled something out of the laundry basket and had to do the 'sniff test' to decide if that was the clean laundry or the dirty laundry. And if it's the dirty laundry, how dirty is 'dirty'?

5. If you think nothing of wiping snot with your fingers, if nothing else its handy.

6. If you have ever found yourself checking a poopy diaper to find out what kind of poop was there...almost eagerly.

7. If you've ever felt like a pack mule, as you head out the door to work in the morning with a variety of different sized bags- diaper bag, computer bag, lunch bag, canvas bag with junk...maybe one or two more.

That's what I've got so far (remember, I'm new at this!) What else needs to be added? Hit me with your best shot!
