You know you are a mom of 3 when...

* You are doing the dishes, talking on the phone, holding the baby....and you look around to do a little check on the kiddos and wonder, "Where is the baby?!"

* You blow dry (if you've been lucky enough to get a shower) your hair (that hasn't been cut in way too long) while you breastfeed. You don't feel bad about the quick bursts of warm air that make baby catch her breath - you laugh.

* Even if you have been awake more hours than you'd like to remember, it still feels like not much has been accomplished, and you are still rushing out the door.

* If you are not making food, you are cleaning it up.

* Your child could hide (standing up) behind the mountain of clean laundry that is on the floor.

* You have spent 99.9 % of your day either playing with, helping, cleaning etc. your kids and they still want more...not to mention seem to think you "NEVER" play with them.

* Your sweet friend emails or calls from way too far away, and you realize you are not alone - someone gets you...and the best vacation you can think of would be a trip to see her so you could just do life together for a little while.


PS - Mom, 5 kids?!? How are you even sane? ;)
For my dear friend, Danielle, and her almost 3 kids. :) <3

You are a saint.

This made me laugh out loud so many times. You're such a great writer!

Thank you for all you do to raise those amazing little people God's entrusted to your care.

So not a saint!

Glad you laughed...that's what it was for. :)

Had to add part 2 bc it is TRUE, and also for anyone who was fearing I was off my rocker (didn't find this one funny!)
