I Knew I was a Mom When....

In honor of Mother's Day coming up here are some instances in which I have really felt like a mom:

• When I had to kiss someone's boo boo.  Not just pretend but really kiss a nasty scrape.  Gross.
• When I had to rub my child's back while he threw up even while I gagged, breathed through my mouth, and silently tried to think about daisies and butterflies.
• When I licked my finger and wiped something off my child's face.
• When I have realized their was poo on my hand while changing a nasty diaper and didn't think twice about it.  On numerous occasions.  Several days a week.
• When I have touched something in my house and gotten a booger on my hand....thats not mine.
• When I have gone to bed with unfolded laundry on my couch, legos under my bed, and a sink full of dishes.
• When I have considered ripping a random three year old a new one because they told my child he is not their friend.  
• When I have pulled up at preschool only to realize I didn't pack a lunch BUT was able to fashion one out of the contents of my car.
• When I started viewing my dog as more of a vacuum cleaner/garbage disposal than a pet.
• When my mental checklist before a trip went from lip gloss, sun glasses, and purse to passy, blankets, and diaper bag.
• When I left hall lights on and reassured my child that their are not monsters in our house.
• When I used phrases such as: think before you speak, be nice to your brother, if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all, and I am not your maid.
• When I was able to change a dirty diaper with nothing but dry paper towels and a toilet seat cover.

What was your moment??
