you know you're a mom...

when you grab a baby spoon to eat your breakfast with and don't realize till about half-way through that you're eating with a small, plastic spoon. Yummy!

you know you're a mom...

when you accidentally dress just like your baby, honest...it's not intentional!

Hey, this series has been M.I.A. for awhile, mostly because I (honestly) haven't done too many dumb things, ha! Well...maybe I have and just am not aware of them. But anyway, the other day I got Eli dressed and then we had breakfast and played and then he napped, so while he napped I got myself dressed and when he woke up I realized I put the same type of thing on that I put on him. Hmmm... Then I remembered a few comments from folks about how 'cute' we were in our matching stripes or gray and black, and it got me thinking that maybe we dress our babies as extensions of ourselves so it's no wonder that Eli is usually wearing stripes, black or converse. ;) At least I don't have him in high-waisted skirts, hahahaha!

And then later today I did actually do a stupid thing... I went to the grocery store and forgot my wallet. Thankfully, I caught it before I went in so I was able to turn around grab my wallet and start over. Oh memory-when will you ever return????

you know you're a mom...

 

when you hear a 'phantom cry.' The 'phantom cry' is when your baby is not crying, has not been crying for hours and yet you think you still hear it...

'you know you're a mom' is back...

you know you're a mom when...

you send out a stack of letters to mail and forget to address them...
seriously, Daryl (our mail-man) looked at me like I was crazy and I told him that I had 'mommy brain' and he just stared at me. Haha!

you know you're a mom Mondays!

My friend Heather Gray suggested I do this series as a regular thing on Mondays, and I thought 'that's a great idea!' So without further adieu....

You know you're a mom when....

 You are staring at a calendar with your husband, and the calendar clearly states that Xmas Eve is Friday the 24th, and you still INSIST that Xmas Eve is on Thursday. I mean.... what's my problem???

you know you're a mom when...

You find a pacifier stuck in your hair.

 Or, when you leave the house with no shoes on. Yes, I have done both these things. Today I left the house in just my socks, but lucky for me I got only to my back porch.
