You know you are ready to be a mother when....

01) you are okay with your clothes turning into burp clothes
02) straightening up the house 5x a day- or deal with the mess.
03) sweating bullets to try to get your kids to eat a healthy meal
04) soothing a baby when you are in desperate need of a shower.
05) you accept the need to buy your child a new wardrobe every few months.
06) you are ahead in the game if you are a night owl.
07) you can read minds
08) you can soothe a baby while making your toddler lunch while on the phone listening to your husband tell you about his day (i love him so much) and- in my case- taking trips to slip the binkie in the other crying baby's mouth.
09) patience is a virtue!!
10) and I would have to say the hardest above all- you are clocked in 24/7

with that being said, i am proud to be a mother and i wouldn't change it for the world!!!

**feel free to add on :)

you know you are a mom when at the end of the day you can look at you sleeping child(ren) and believe that although being a mom is the hardest job in the world...you wouldn't trade it for anything!
I love your comments especially how the part where being a mom is 24/7...yep, night included!
