You know your a Mother when...

You cross your legs to sneeze.

You don’t hesitate in the least to swipe a booger from your child’s nose with your finger.

You can’t remember the last time you painted your toenails.

Your washing machine never stops running.

Your comfy flannel pajamas look much more appealing than your naughty lingerie.

You have time to shave only one leg at a time.

You hide in the bathroom to be alone.

Your kid throws-up and you catch it.

Someone else's kid throws up at a party. You keep eating.

You hope ketchup is a vegetable, since it's the only one your child eats.

You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into cute shapes.

You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "NOT in your good clothes!"

You hire a sitter because you haven't been out with your husband in ages, then spend half the night checking on the kids.

You use your own saliva to clean your child's face.

You spend an entire week wearing sweats.

Your feet stick to the kitchen floor, and you don't care.

You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job", but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything".

Happy Mother's Day to all wonderful women! Especially the Mother's in my life.

So very true, I know I would not trade being Johnny's mother for anything. Thanks for the laugh.
