you might be a mom if...

A friend of mine, Cristy Welsh, recently posted this on her blog... I read it this morning and have been thinking about it all day and had to share. I can especially relate to the one about the socks! I give her full credit for the remainder of this blog! :)
  • If you've ever heard lots of giggling emitting from your bathroom and it sends chills down your spin, you might be a Mom.
  • If you’ve ever looked in your closet and thought, “Man, I really need more sweat pants!” you might be a Mom.
  • If you’ve stopped looking at men and now find yourself at the mall checking out other women who are either pregnant or with small children, you might be a Mom.
  • If you’ve ever caught a glimpse of a backwards view of yourself and thought “When did that happen?!” you might be a Mom.
  • If you’ve ever hung out with your husbands old friends who you’ve never met but instantly have millions of things to talk about with the wife since you both have kids the same age, you might be a Mom.
  • If you’ve been grocery shopping and your son says “Mom I don’t feel well” with that telling green look on his face, and you instantly stick your hands under his mouth in an attempt to catch the emitting vomit, then cover yourself and the floor and your son with said vomit, then give dirty looks to the business men walking by who are laughing at you, you might be a Mom. (Just another Thursday morning shopping adventure… sigh…)
  • If everyone in your household owns more than 15 pairs of good socks and you only have 4, most of which have holes or are stretched out suspiciously to the size of your husbands feet, you might be a Mom.
  • If you’ve ever refused to try on an a pair of pants you know fit last year. but leave them in your closet non-the-less and stare at them everyday trying to get up the nerve to put them on, you might be a Mom.
  • If your son finishing his sandwich is the reason you “went dancing” last Friday (around the kitchen) you might be a Mom.
  • If your date tonight involves “camping out” and eating Smores in the living room watching an animated movie with two different men (whose ages are 25 years apart) you might be a Mom.
  • If you’ve ever found yourself humming the theme song to Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, Blue’s Clues, or Dora, you might be a Mom.
  • If the only qualification you have for your sibling’s future spouse is that they have good birthing hips in which to pop out playmates for your kids, you might be a Mom. (Just kidding!)
  • If you find yourself applying for the show “What Not to Wear” knowing you are a shoo-in, you might be a Mom.
  • If the last prayer your son said involved the line “And bless Mom and Dad not to have grumpy faces at me if I sneak out of my bed tonight,” you might be a Mom.
  • If you’ve ever been smothered in hugs and kisses and told “You’re my best friend”, you might be a Mom.
