You know you’re a mom of littles when . . .

• Your morning routine includes microwaving a cup of coffee four times at half hour intervals. (This is the only way I find time to drink an entire cup of coffee these days!)
• You play a game called “how-long-before-baby-spits-up-so-much-we-have-to-change-his-clothes-AGAIN-today?” and you’re not all that surprised at 10 a.m. when you’re putting his arm into the next outfit and “Ding-ding-ding! The fountain erupts! We’re on to round 3!”
• Multi-tasking has never been more important–you are making dinner, talking on the phone, while holding a baby; then suddenly you hear the dogs barking outside, and shake the tired toddler off your leg as run to let the dogs back in.
• The kids’ naptime is alternately your most productive time of the day–or your only chance to crash. Of course, it is a miracle if the baby and the toddler are both actually napping at the same time.
• You have learned which “cries” need to be addressed right now and which ones are best ignored.
• Laundry “day” becomes laundry life!
• You lose track of how many times a day you hear “Help me do it,” “Read book?”,  “Potty!! Potty!!” and “Snack? Have snack?”
• Your conversations with other adults used to center around real-estate transactions, casualty losses, and acquisitions–but now primarily revolve around baby teething and toddler constipation–after you swore you would never be “that kind” of mom!
• You are in such a hurry to get in and out of the shower, you jump in with your underwear still on (yes, I actually did that this morning!!)

I’d love to hear your mom stories! Feel free to add them in the comments below or link back to your blog!
