Thursday Thirteen # 3
1. You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're equal.
2. You have time to shave only one leg at a time.
3. You hide in the bathroom to be alone.
4. You child throws up, and you catch it.
5. Someone else's kid throws up at a party, and you keep eating.
6. You mastered the art of placing large quantities of pancakes and eggs on a plate without anything touching.
7. You can't bear the thought of your son's first girlfriend.
8. You hate the thought of his wife even more.
9. You use your own saliva to clean your child's face.
10. You obsess when your child clings to you upon parting during his first month at school, then obsess when he skips in without looking back the second time.
11. You can't bear to give away baby clothes -- it's so final.
12. You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "Not in your good clothes!"
13. You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you.

My TT is up, but I think as a Crazy Mom (Working or otherwise) you might enjoy this recent entry from my blog entitled Book and Moms:

Just be careful about the "giving away baby clothes" thing. I had a friend who packed all her kids' toys in a box labeled "for grandchildren" and found herself pregnant with a surprise #3!
Great list! I've done most of those : )
Yea, I've caught vomit on the fly before but number two made me laugh.
great list!
done some of these but not all.
my tt is up.
LOL! I've seen a parent friend catch his kid's vomit. It's impressive.
My 13 are up.
Great list!
I have caught flying vomit too! lol
Have a wonderful Thursday!
A great list! I'm not a mother but know those are true... I have plenty of friends who are mom's.
Have a great Thursday!
... and your idea of a "great night" is sleeeeeeep =)
That´s a great list - LOL.
Now I know what is waiting for me. My son Luis is 8 months old...
Happy New Year from Germany,
San
P.S.: Please visit my TT - Thanks a lot =)
OMG . . .I am laughing so hard here. I can TOTALLY relate to all of them!
How 'bout this one: Your kid lobs a giant booger onto your finger in line at the grocery store and you don't have a Kleenex in your purse. Fortunately, the checker takes pity on you (because you're trying to write the check with the booger still attached) and gives you one. TRUE STORY.
I can recognize my mother in this TT :) Its a great list!
Have a great Thursday!
Did you watch me raise my kids??? Happy TT :)
Happy TT.
Oh God. I'm a mum.
My girls are almost a year - and I find myself constantly saying, "Stop biting your sister!"
Happy Thursday!
I'm laughing out loud at this list, because I'm living it - my son is 4. I've never caught vomit, though, but I have caught poop (when he was a baby). Does that count?
Happy TT!
I'm not a participant but I really enjoyed reading this post. As a mom, I can relate to majority of them.
I laughed when I read #7 and #8 ... now we share the same thoughts on that. *wink*
Take care!
Well, thankfully I don't have to worry about No.2, but the rest are spot on...
lol. Happy TT.
