Had so much fun coming up with these and talking about them with others that I am doing it again.......here we go
You know you're a mom of Many Small Children (MSC) when...........................
...You know what time of day it is by what cartoon show is on.
...Or when you've seen every episode of Yo Gabba Gabba and Caiou
...You've traded your favorite radio station in the car for the Little People CD and you listen to it over and over
...You have decided you've polluted the landfills enough and are now using cloth diapers
...You think cloth diapers are so cute and love seeing your daughter running around in them.
...You know you're a mom of MSC when you let your children sleep in their clothes from the day and then when they wake up the next morning look them over and yep, their clean enough for another day.
...I can carry the baby & a full laundry basket upstairs
...you sound like you have Tourette’s when you talk on the phone. “So, Sabrina, do you and the kids want to meet up for–GET DOWN FROM THE COUCH RIGHT NOW–do you guys want to meet us at McDonald’s for–NO, YOU CAN’T!–for lunch at 11:30 as soon as we–DO NOT PUSH YOUR SISTER DOWN OFF THE COUCH, OR ANYWHERE FOR THAT MATTER-get finished up here?”
...You and your hubby decide to get intimate & you discover you are leaking breast milk all over him & the bed...now that's a fun time....talk about mood spoiler ;o) Guess that means there wont be any more Team D members running around.
...Your pantry is filled with more snacks for the kids than it is for you. Graham crackers or fishy's anyone?
...You get the kids all put to bed finally, sit on the front porch, he smokes his pipe & you drink an adult beverage and you call it a "date night"
...You don't have any flowers in your flower boxes on the front porch because your child
(shall remain anonymous - okay it's the middle child) has picked them all off the stems. But you do have lovely green stems & leaves.
...By 8am in the morning you have had at least 2 cups of coffee and that's a good morning.
...Before your 3rd child the laundry seemed to be manageable but now it is out of control and there are days where all you do is laundry. How can 3 small children create so much laundry??
...Before children you used to think that kids light up shoes weren't cute & said "I will never put my children in those shoes" - you rethink that statement when your child picks out some cute shoes and they are light up. She instantly falls in love with them & will not leave the store without those shoes.
...You find yourself turning into your own mother more and more each day and you wonder how you're mom survived. But surely if she can survive than so can I.
...You have discovered how to turn a double stroller into a stroller that can accommodate 3 children, a diaper bag, lunch bag, folding chair, dog on his leash and your latte. And you successfully make it to the park & back without loosing any of the children.
...While grocery shopping at Costco you find each & every sample lady and manage to feed yourself & the kids lunch and get the groceries bought. Now that is a good shopping trip!!
...You have perfected the garage sale Friday technique....lots of snacks, books & water bottles for the kiddos. And I am happy to report that I now have the ability to get out of the car, dash to the GSale, scan the items & decide if it's worth the browse in less than 5seconds. All before the kids start screaming for me. And let me tell ya, I am a quick garage sale customer now...get in and get out is the motto.
