You Know You are a Mother of Preschoolers When...

  • You've ever burned out your car battery by pumping in the back seat (yep, I did - last November).
  • You get ready for bed at night, run your hands through your hair, and say "Where did THAT come from?!"
  • You actually loathe keeping track of and entering those little Pampers Gifts to Grow codes, but it just drives you nuts to throw them out.
  • You no longer judge others based on the cleanliness, or lack thereof, of their baseboards.
  • White shirts aren't worth the money - you get no mileage out of them.
  • Even for a relatively technically savvy female, your paper tiger has lapped you several times while you are too busy to think about chasing it.
  • You realize you could get a lot more done if you had a wife and a secretary.
  • You will stay up, into the wee hours of the morning, just to have some down time (reading, folding laundry, watch a favorite *recorded on DVR* show) no matter how tired you are.
  • You gain new perspective on how Jesus must feel when you don't obey Him the first time!
  • No more awkward silences when meeting new people for the first time -you always have conversation starters in your midst.
  • You wonder when your kitchen became known as the "Short-Order Buffet."
  • Your memory fails you as to what you did for entertainment before you had kids.
  • Eating dinner out as a family is not a luxury - it's a punishment for the person stuck serving your table. You'd rather cook and eat at home anyday.
  • You wonder when you grew such a long pointer finger.
  • You tell your girlfriend (who is a grown-up, by the way!) that you'll be right back because you have to "go potty."
  • You know there is so much more you could add to this list, but you've been working on it for over a week now and just want to publish it already!
Add your own and let's keep the list going!
