I got some of these from my parenting forum, and I thought it would be funny to share. Feel free to add and I will post it here. 🙂
- YOU KNOW YOU’RE A MOM AND SLEEP DEPRIVED WHEN…
- sleep is the only think that you can think, obsess and dream about.
- you think you’re going crazy when you hear screaming even when it’s dead silent in the house.
- 7 am is considered sleeping in
- you get excited when you see a poopy diaper
- you become a complete airhead- there are days you’re surprised you are able to dress yourself (and haven’t gotten into a car accident!).
- that even months after you’ve had the baby you’re still shedding like a lab
- you drive to work and don’t remember the drive
- you are talking to someone and forget what you are saying right in the middle of your conversation
- you’ve heard crying too and jumped up and ran in the nursery only to find your kid sound asleep
- you are pumping for milk for the next day and you fall asleep for an hour sitting up in the chair
- you put the car keys on the side of the car seat while you strap your kid in and then spend 10 minutes trying to find your keys.
- you’re not quite sure if it’s avocado smeared on your pants from toddler hands or if it’s poo from the newborn…
- going to the bathroom alone is a luxury.
- you start prepping dinner when you get up in the morning and work on it here and there throughout the day.
- you have no idea what is going on in the world but can name 20 different kinds of dinosaurs and/or digging equipment.
- when you start losing your big people vocabulary
- when you find rocks in your gym bag and know exactly when they were put there and that you’ll be in BIIIIIG trouble if you get rid of them.
- you think nothing of eating the soggy remains of an ice cream cone left by your son, when 5 years ago the very idea would gross you out.
- you find yourself saying things like, “Jackson, no eating your shoes!!!” or “Mommy’s going pee-pee. Do you want to come with?”
- when you are getting out of the car and check to make sure you have your keys 3 times because you don’t remember checking the 1st time.
- when you are talking to your child from the bathroom so they won’t start crying.
- you do silly dances while cooking to entertain your 4 month old.
- when it’s no longer about you anymore
- when you give in and let your son get a dog and you ARE NOT an animal lover. (I’ve totally lost my mind)

My addition to this from this weekend is…. when you give in and let your son get a dog and you ARE NOT an animal lover. (I’ve totally lost my mind)
These are hilarious! I got rid of rocks one time – holy hannah was I ever in trouble!!! You might not have to worry – boys might be a little more attached to rocks that girls 🙂
Yep… no more going to the bathroom or using the restroom – it’s just OMG look out I have to potty and I’m finally taking 30 seconds to allow myself to do so…. oh sure you can join me, why not everybody else is in here, oh sure brush your teeth, take a shower, I’ll just be here pottying, don’t mind me.
