If you have to make an intentional effort to take a shower at least every 48 hours … you MIGHT be a Mommy.
If you go out for a dinner alone with your husband, hear a kid scream and have to look over just to make sure it isn’t one of yours … you MIGHT be a Mommy.
If you no longer put “laundry” on your to-do list because by the time you get it folded, the hamper is full again … you MIGHT be a Mommy.
If you’ve ever been so tired you turn off the hot water in your attempt to warm up the shower … you MIGHT be a Mommy.
If you’ve ever written your shopping list in crayon … you MIGHT be a Mommy.
If you’ve worked hard to change all your swear words to repeatable phrases such as “God Bless America!” … you MIGHT be a Mommy.
If this is your idea of multi-tasking …
Yes, you MIGHT be a Mommy.
If you can come up with more than two potential reasons for a child’s “emergency bath” … you MIGHT be a Mommy.
(This one’s for my wonderful husband)
If you’ve ever been awakened from much-needed sleep by the sounds of an emergency bath…you MIGHT be a Daddy!

That was sooooo funny. I am sure I could think of a couple myself but I will ask ABNMOMMA for her thoughts.
How 'bout this one for Dads? If you have ever had to look for your tools at your son's house, you might be a daddy!!

Yep those all sound familiar!
Yep. I'm a Mommy, alright... And I'm eyeing (eying, eye-ing) that cartoon for the practical possibilities at my house!
Been there - done most of that! And it doesn't stop when they're teenagers either - just to give you something to look forward to!
these are so true...so great! i definitely am.
My fave is changing your swearing to phrases like - "God Bless America!" I guess we need to swear like that more often!
I HAVE to borrow that cartoon! Too funny.
ps) I hit my toe the other day and yelled, "Oh Fuddruckers, that hurt!" My 9 year old son, in all beautiful innocence said -- "Mommy! Are we going to eat at Fuddruckers?"
Of course . . . . we did!
