You Might Be the Mother of Multiple Small Children If…

1. You had leftover spaghetti for breakfast this morning. Or oreos. Or nothing.

2. You thought about taking the kitchen trash out this morning, but dismissed the idea as “too much work.”

3. You reconsidered the amount of effort involved in taking the kitchen trash out when the dirty diaper smell overpowered the smell of last night’s dinner – which was 40-Clove Garlic Chicken.

4. You can actually differentiate between the odors of your children when sniffing to figure out whose diaper is currently dirty.

5. You signed your last check at the grocery store “Mommy,” because you forgot you had a given name.

6. You signed your last check at the grocery store because you had forgotten your purse when you left home — in favor of the diaper bag — but your checkbook had conveniently been placed in the diaper bag by your toddler.

7. You begin to confuse the names of your children, husband, and the family pet.

8. You look in the mirror and wonder “who that is.”

9. You look in the mirror and try to remember what you used to look like…but can’t.

10. You plan on shaving your other leg if you can get a shower in tomorrow.

I post the above in honor of my current season of life, and in honor of anyone who has more kids than me. Hats off to you!
