Signs That I am a Mommy

I have been noticing lately that I do things that I said I would never do once I became a mom.  Most of them I don't even realize I am doing them.  I am not complaining...just stating the facts (love being a mommy).

-I always thought it was so weird when moms called their children by the wrong name.  I thought "You know their name, it's not that hard."  Well...  I only have one child, but I call her Oscar, Kosmo, Freddy, then Noelle all the time.  I seriously have no memory.  YES, I know her name.  It just doesn't seem to want to come out of my mouth.

-I also thought that when you were a stay at home mommy, you had all this time on your hands.  Not true.  Noelle takes two naps a day that each last about 45 minutes.  The rest of the day I am entertaining her, changing her diaper, feeding her, etc.  The thing that I am the worst at doing (due to lack of time) is folding the darn laundry.  I wash the laundry.  It just sits unfolded for a few days.  Thank goodness for wrinkle releaser.

-Spit up is my new perfume!  When she spits up on me, I just wipe it off.  Before I thought it was so gross - clean yourself mommies.  Not the case...  I don't even smell it anymore.

-Noelle does not like it when I am in the shower.  I now take the fastest showers ever! Sometimes when I attempt to shave my legs (sorry Freddy), I only shave one and plan on shaving the other leg the next day.

-Since I am trying to get ready so quickly, I tend to put my underwear on inside out about 25% of the time.  I laugh the first time I go to the bathroom and see what I did again.  I need to focus more...

-The best sign that I am a mommy... get ready it's a little gross...  I found a 3/4" armpit hair!!!!  I don't have time to exam my shaving job.  Of course I showed Freddy the hair and we laughed.  It now has been removed from my body.

Love,
Noelle's Mommy
