You Know You Are A Mama...
When baby spits up on your shirt and you simply wipe it off and keep on movin' instead of changing the shirt.
When you see your child in pain and it makes you cry.

When you realize your name has been changed to "(Such-and-such's) Mom".
When nothing is 100% yours anymore: From privacy (bathroom breaks, quality time with your s/o, etc.) to the food on your plate ("Can I have some, Mommy??") - You just expect to share.
When your normally immaculate car now has juice stains or cracker crumbs in the carpet of the floor boards and you don't even blink twice.
When You're the first one up and the last one ready.
When you have 101 uses for Mother's Spit.

When vanity does not reign supreme. My girls and I were at the park, I step in a swampy mud pit! Feet covered (opened toed fashion sneaks), shoes covered. I just continued to play as if nothing happened. Shoot, back in the day, I would of been out of there. I love being a mommy. Such an honor.

When you yelled "Hey boy, you know who you are! Get in here!" because you can't remember your dc's names when upset.
When you find yourself dunking dirty cloth pampers in the toilet and take it as your quiet time since it's the only time to yourself.
When you take your finger, wet it with your saliva then wipe your child's face in public.

WheN some days with the kids are just so overwhelming that you run, hide and cry in the bathroom
When your child has a runny nose and his/her shirt becomes the perfect tissue
When your kisses and hugs are the ultimate healer. It's like magic! It heals booboos and sad faces.
When stains from food and other things are the norm on your clothes.

When I was in an extended conversation with another mom at preschool I could only think of her name as “Henry’s mom”.
When she asked my husband how the children reacted when they saw my son’s birthday cupcakes which I baked and fussed over until 12 pm the night before.
When I had a conversation with my husband about my favorite kids’ songs from Kids Stuff on Sirius radio.

When I make the statement "If I don't hear the word Mammy I'll miss it" under my breath when the boys have been calling me for something or the other every other minute for the entire morning.

When God stirs up your desire to conceive.
When you see the line on the home pregnancy test.
When you push off the manicure/pedicure appointment for a day at the zoo.
When you can't pass up the latest summer styles at Children's Place and visit weekly, but you'll settle for one new top from Costco for yourself.
When folk barely address you and would rather start a conversation with a three year old.

When you forgo a much needed suit for work to take your boys to the beach for the day.
When your kitchen smells like Waffle House from all those early morning special breakfast orders.
When your son proudly exclaims "That's my Mom! That's my Mom!" when you show up to have lunch with him at school.
When your oldest comes to you and lays his head on your shoulder when he doesn't feel good.

When you tell your child to throw up in your hands instead of on the floor.
When going to the bathroom is dinner table conversation.
When you don't have a dinner hot, or barely warm for that matter.

When she called her Mom and told her "I've turned into you!" I asked my son why he did something and his reply was "cause". Without thinking I said "Because is NOT a reason" just like my mom used to tell me.
When your dinner time conversation includes trying to convince your almost 3 year old that pooping in the potty really is exciting.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MAMAS!

Happy Mothers Day to you!!! Hope your day was beautiful :)
Happy Mother's Day! : )
Darn, I am sorry I missed this... however, it looks like the mama's who did participate covered IT ALL! I especially love the "first one up and last one ready" commment!
I laughed, I cried - it totally described our lives as mothers, doesn't it? I could identify with each and every line!!!

Lovely! I can relate to all of what the other moms said too.
Great stuff! Happy belated Mother's Day!
