- You are very efficient nursing and changing diapers in the dark in the middle of the night so you don't wake up your husband.
- You change your babies clothes every single time they spit up on them.
- You only change your clothes once (for bed) even if you have spit up, poop, pee, breastmilk, or boogers on your clothes. It dries pretty fast anyway.
- You find yourself trying to reason with your toddler so that he will STOP screaming.
- You have huge circles under your eyes from one or both babies waking up during the night.
- You try everything on the planet just so that your baby will stop crying and you have some peace and quiet.
- Nap time is more for you than it is for your kids. Sleep is bliss.
- You look forward to grocery shopping without the kids and go up and down every isle in no hurry at all.
- You find yourself saying silly things all day like "Don't eat the table it doesn't taste good" or "Please stop chewing on your sister's binky that isn't yours"
- You find it is so much easier to get anything done around the house if you just wear your baby that way you have 2 hands to clean up toys and spills and keep the toddler out of trouble.
- Your conversations with your husband include things like "Baby finally pooped today after not going at all yesterday"
- When asked what you do all day by your husband you look at him and just say "Well I played with the toddler, tried to keep him out of the ____ (fill it in with any mischief because it always happens), changed way too many diapers to count and fed the baby."
- Laundry day is either every day or every other day no more once a week laundry for a while.
- Only toys get picked up and you feel like you accomplished something today - even if it looks like you have done nothing whatsoever 5 minutes later.
- After the kids go to bed at night you fall asleep from sheer exhaustion and save the cleaning up for another day when you aren't so tired (Does that even exist?)

Soooo funny, and so true. :). Hang in there, Sheryl.
Oh I'm hanging in there. I just meant some of these to be funny but they are so true.
This was really funny and sad and true all at the same time. Thanks for giving me your new blog address. I hope all is well!
