You Know You're A Mom When-sDAZE

This is one I had to participate in.

You know your a mom when...

-you don't really have an answer to the notoriously annoying "why" questions so after the first few you answer "because that's how God made it."

-you are walking out of the Y and your 5 year old is throwing a fit, instead of grabbing said child and whisking them away to your car you mention "if your gonna get in trouble for throwing a fit you should probably do a better job." Said child stomps foot and make guttural/growling noises at you. "No buddy more like this" stamp foot way harder than child is capable of and in a good loud whiny voice "but I don't want to, it's not FAIR!!!" Child is staring open mouthed (as well as many other Y patrons) he quietly proceeds to the car. (just want to mention that I WON!that right, I am not above beating a 5 year old in a whining contest.)

-you can name off almost every bathroom in the zoo. (and various other child friendly facilities)

-you hear a loud bang in the front room/ "formal living room" (you know, the one with the basketball hoop in it) and your response is "bring me what broke and the super glue"

-you carry snacks, drinks, crayons, diapers, wipes, etc... in your purse, but never anything you need like a pen or any feminine supplies.

I am pretty sure I could go on forever, but I need a shower and the baby is sleeping (so I have a very short window of oppertunity)

It's coming...

summer that is. And with the start of summer comes the activities!!! Little League opening day was this past Sat, this year Jolie decided to go with dance (I think she will still play t-ball in June/July, but she wasn't so sure about competative softball) and Zach decided the competative league is the way to go (I think he will do t-ball with park and rec too since Little League ends the first week of June). Zach plays with the Hooks and is #7. He played an awesome game and was a great sport on Sat. I was so impressed!
