It's official...I am a mom

Okay, so it was official about 7 years ago but I have recently surrendered to motherhood. There were a few signs along the way that let me know I had arrived. Here is my personal list. (If anybody reads this please feel free to add your own insights as comments)

You know your a mother when...

• You've taken a phone message with a jumbo crayon on a napkin
• Your secret dream is of a government program that awards $0.05 for every time you have to touch poo. Can you say millions?
• You lie down for your doctor's exam and before they begin they say, "you have a sticker on your sock, would you like me to remove it for you?"
• You find non-edible items with small human bite marks in them e.g. a bar of soap, a sponge, barbie's feet, play dough, erasers, etc.... the list goes on and on.
• Tidying your front hallway require the pairing and stacking of 24 pairs of shoes.
• As you're walking out of the school after 'drop-offs' you stumble and look down only to discover that you are wearing two different shoes.... not kidding this really happened. One was a croc and the other was a brown clog.... how???
• You take out your pony and realize your hair is 6 inches longer than the last time you noticed.
• You long for kid's week on Jeopardy and cross your finger for the Nickelodeon category.... it's chosen and you whisper, "come to mama", and then sweep the whole column.
• Whether or not you feel you can jump on a trampoline today.... Depends ;)
• When you go through a busy day, run errands, chat with peers, and you get home to realize that you have 6 ranbow flower barretts left in your hair.... all in front.
  
• You talk opening about your child birthing experiences with strangers.
• You washed down your last pill by drinking from a pink Disney Princess plastic teacup.

This is the tip of my iceberg.

I'm sure I'll have more to add to this list tomorrow.
