You know you are a mother when……

………….. after running through the drive through alone, you smile when the drive thru worker asks you to pull forward and wait for your food. And the smile comes from the knowledge that he just gave you the gift of more alone time.

……………..on a Sunday morning you change your skirt because the first one was still too tight to wear all day and your oldest daughter, upon hearing that you changed because it was too tight jumps up and asks, “ARE YOU PREGNANT!!”

……………..as you sit outside watching your children play you say to your almost two year old, “Come take a drink to wash down all that dirt in your mouth. And next time don’t eat so much.”

………….when you look over to see the “baby” sitting on top of the end table looking at books your thought isn’t about getting him down or that he might fall, it’s how since he can’t get down by himself you can get a few more things picked up before he makes another mess.

………….your oldest daughter works with you in the kitchen and chats about her time at a friend’s house and you realize that she is growing up. And it makes you teary eyed and sad and proud and overwhelmed all at the same time.

Have you had any funny “mommy” moments that you can share?
