You Know You're a Mom When...

Moms, we get it. You keep a hidden stash of chocolate because frankly, you're tired of sharing.

Moms, there are certain things you can do that may have appalled your single self. Things like running towards projectile vomit, instead of away from it.

This is just one of the 24 Clear Signs You're a Mom, according to an article on the Huffington Post, co-authored by Mark Simmons of WeMothers llc.

They asked the moms of www.wemothers.com what motherhood means. Here are just seven examples of the 24 they shared in their article, You know you are a mom when:

  1. You do more in seven minutes than most people do all day.
  2. Happy hour has become the 60 minutes between your kids going to bed and you going to bed.
  3. A night of drinking requires more recovery time than minor surgery.
  4. A glass of wine counts as a serving of fruit.
  5. You can experience heaven and hell at the same time.
  6. You've been washing the same load of laundry for three days because you forgot to dry it.
  7. You realize you've been watching Nick Jr. alone, even though your kids have been in bed for over 30 minutes.

Now tell us, Moms, what would you add to this list?
