You Know You're a Mommy When...

So, I got in my car this morning and realized I had a snot sucker and a canister of puffs in my cup holders!!! Anybody else have a moment where they thought, you know you're a mommy?

I had 2 that I can remember recently...I was at work and my purse kept squeaking as I walked, well poor Sophie the giraffe was stuck in there. Then I went to get something out of my purse another time and had a full bottle from the night before, it was leaking everywhere.

That my primary concern in a parking lot is NOT how close to the front I can park, but how close to a buggy I can park so I can throw all the kids and diaper bag in the cart prior to walking through the doors.

I totally do this, I always park next to the cart stall. Dh hates it because he thinks carts are going to get slammed into the car.

I do the same thing in parking lots. Or at our local grocery store there are 4 spots next to a cart deposit and its at the front. I aim for those spots haha.

......you know all the children's songs from cartoon shows.
......call your DH 'Daddy' whenever you talk to him, even if it's just the two of you or you are out in public.

Yes I do that too. LOL Especially with 2 small kids it's very important to be right beside a shpping cart. I carry diapers in my purse also and a pair of clean underwears for Isabelle (who is still sort of potty training)

I always have to dig through tons of baby items to get to my wallet at the store, and I'm sure the cashier is like "hurry up", haha, oh well.

I'm sure there are other things but my memory is shot- another sign of being a mommy!

Love this thread.

My car has totally been taken over by kids toys and other kids things! I'm sure I have gone out in public with puffs stuck to me more than once....

When you have nothing around to wipe a runny nose in site and the thought of it going everywhere is just as gross so the inside of the sleeve works.

I do the parking lot thing as well.

You say things like: "Please stop chewing on the dog!"

Haha...I do a lot of these things.

My baby always wants to eat the dog too.
I park closest to the shopping cart corral.
I found an "electric guitar" in my purse while searching for my keys.
I have used my sleeve as a tissue for DS.

I now have to stop and look at every baby in the grocery store.
