She says, "'You Know You’re a Mom When-sDAZE' is a great way for us, as parents, to make light of our trials and tribulations. Our day to day run-ins with the crazy little people in our lives we call children."
Have you read my blog? I think that's a pretty pervasive theme throughout the whole thing... but taking a special day to focus on just those absurd moments where it hits you that yeah, it doesn't matter how hawt stuff you used to be, right this moment you've got poo under your fingernails and goo on your chin and the most important task you've got is how to open that juice box before you have a three-year-old tantrum to quell.
Diaper stuffing? Did I see myself doing that when I graduated from the University of Notre Dame? No, I did not.
But that's okay, because poop washes off and goo is removable and Purell makes hand sanitizer. Without all of that, I wouldn't have cute little hineys like this
So, even if installing a baby gate takes me 5 days or if a turd rolls out of a diaper and across the floor, necessitating that I snatch it up before a kiddo can so I have to just pluck it up bare-handed and get last night's dinner embedded under my nails, or if the toilet becomes a crutch to buy me 2 minutes of peace, I know I'm a mom.... and that makes me smile.

LOVE IT!!! Love the new pics too...esp. the booty pic!! ;o) Miss you all!
Those last three pictures are extraordinarily good photos. You're a very talented photographer!
Great photography and I really enjoyed this post because I've definitely been there done that! I'm still in awe that as a momma, I'm completely unaffected by a turd rolling by me on the floor or by washing poop off of cloth diapers. I can actually continue eating dinner and talking to Jeremy while scooping a piece of poop off of the floor. I never would have imagined any of this just a few years ago. I may have to join you on these types of posts!
Oh, wow, I caught Malia playing in the toilet today ... and I didn't do a damn thing about it. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
I should correct that. I cleaned up the water, but that's about it.
Hahaha! Poo under the nails and goo on the chin. So true. I can completely understand letting her do something that is keeping her occupied for a few minutes. We take what we can get sometimes.
I love it! What a great post, cute dress and cute little hiney!!
There you have it. One of the reasons I can't stay away from you. Did you know that yours is one of the very first blogs I ever started reading after I began my own? Whether I have tears rolling down my cheeks, or I am left laughing out loud...I always come away feeling you've written something to which I can relate.
