5. You used to spend hours putting on your makeup, now you spend hours trying to wash peanut butter out of your hair.

6. Sleeping in used to be Noon, 1Pm and sometimes Dinner! Sleeping in now constitutes anything past 7am.

9. Your big plans for the weekend consist of Early Mornings, Parks, Movies and Snuggles when they used to consist of friends, parties and sleeping in.

13. Picking somone else’s nose is no longer considered gross, its now a part of your daily routine.

16. Its progress if one leg is half shaved- lets not even talk about the arm pit hair- the Eurpoean look is in right?

17.  The idea of your son having a girlfriend makes you cringe- How dare she take your Little Man away!? And the idea of him getting married? NO.

18. Your Child has a dirty face and you find yourself using your own spit to clean it off- Eww, Remember how you swore you would never do that because you HATED it so much when your Mom did it? – Yep.

19. Your Husband’s sandwiches are always cut into four little easy to eat triangles which you almost cut the crust off before you catch yourself.

20. You get more excited about a child taking a nap then you do about a trip to the mall to get a pedicure!

21. You need a dictionary to look up the definition of pedicure because it’s been so long since you’ve had one you can’t remember what that is.

22. The washing machine has become more of a life line then your hair straightener.

27. Taking a poop is impossible to do without an audience.

28. Telemarketers hang up on you- Hey you’re desperate for adult conversation and they voluntarily called you- They thought you wanted to hear about how to get your ducts cleaned, you thought why not tell them about your labour.

29. Your idea of relaxing is closing your eyes for 30 seconds and taking a deep breath. Now if only you could find the time to do that.

30. Your most stylish look consists of sweat pants, a sweat shirt and a pony tail. Hey, at least you could find the hair elastics- Either that or you used the elastic from the broccoli- just don’t tell anyone.
