You Know You're A Mom When:

There is no one else around to clean up the milk that spilled all over the floor.
kids pile on top of you when you are on the floor attempting to do sit ups.
You have an entourage that follows you into the bathroom.
You get up once every single hour of the night to help your kid vomit in the toilet.
You can carry on a somewhat meaningful conversation that cuts through the squealing and screaming (happy or sad sounds) that are all around you.
You push the grocery cart at the supermarket that is shaped like a race car.
All your shirts have stains from little mouths or hands that seem to think you are a napkin.
You start singing theme songs from cartoons when you are all by yourself.
You linger at the grocery store or hair stylist just to have a little alone time.
are so exhausted and wiped out at the end of the day but you know you'd never trade a single moment of any of it for all the money in the world.
You can get four small children bathed and ready for bed in less thn an hour.
Your heart melts because you just heard "I love you Mamasita!"
The sight of your sleeping babe makes your heart swell ten times bigger than it's normal size. You read the same bed time story over and over and over and over again, because it brings a smile.
When you dance like a maniac in your living room to silly songs.
When you sing opera style with your kiddos because no one can hear you, at least you hope.
your heart forever walks around on the outside of your body.
