9. You are unable to use the bathroom alone for any extended period of time. For some reason, even going #1 by yourself is considered a luxury.
8. Time never went faster in your life. You find yourself always looking for more of it, but that is the impossible, especially when it comes to getting yourself ready and getting those kids ready, too.
7. You suddenly don’t have any use for your alarm clock. You have children. Remember?
6. You no longer can eat a full meal at dinner time without a single interruption. If you can, please let me know the fairy dust you sprinkle in your house because I would like to purchase.
5. You have become accustom to solving little mysteries, finding small lost toys hidden under the couch, and creating exciting ways to make vegetables more appealing. These are usually daily occurrences.
4. You love when the grandparents visit, or anyone that will pay attention to your child for that matter, because this means that you’ll have a break for more than five minutes.
3. Wiping has a whole new meaning in your life. You have become a pro at wiping table tops, counters, toilets, noses, faces, hands, and behinds. There is not a single thing in this world that you have not wiped.
2. When your child hurts, it breaks your heart more than any kind of “pain” you have endured.
1. You have never loved anything more in your life before. Ever.
A humongous, heartfelt AMEN to this entire list. <3
I am with ya, sistah! 10 for 10!
Thanks for the visit today
Yup, then I am totally a Theta Mom.
I so miss peeing alone. And pooing, if you want to get totally personal..
Did I write this list myself or what?!? SOOOOO true! I am a Theta Mom! LOL!
Oh gosh, I remember number 10 (play-doh in the rug) SO well. One of my nightmares revisted…
That list was right on!!! Any mom that gives play-doh as a party favor goes on my list. What I'm going to do with the list, I don't know,…but they're on it!!
I remember being able to go to the bathroom by myself, a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…
Definately a Theta Mom! How about: You find yourself using your daughter's glittery butterfly hair clip b/c it's the nearest thing to you to hold your hair back! I'm sure that shouts "respect" from others!
I can totally relate to number 8 and 7 especially. It takes FOREVER to get out of the house in the morning.
What has surprised me is how much the emotional hurts my child faces hurt me. If I see another child is mean to her or snubs her it just breaks my heart.
you already have the Loyalty Award, but I wanted to pass it on to you again…: )
That is a perfect list!
I'm definitely that mom. Great post.
Totally am!! XOXO
it is BY FAR the hardest work you'll ever do…but the most rewarding.:)
I am definitely a Theta Mom! That list is hilarious, especially #9!
These are so great! I don't have any kiddos (yet) but this is just too funny. I'm passing this along to my friends with little ones : )
You list couldn't be any closer to the truth! Thanks for the great list! Glad to know I'm a Theta Mom too!
New follower here…glad to have found you!
I can relate to every single thing on your list! I do have to say though, that I decided last week that Moon Sand is worse than Play-Doh!! Also, I don't know how I ever survived without wet wipes. I use them on EVERYTHING now!
We have play doh in the rug. Now it is ONLY outside. I am with you on every single one of those points. One of our friends has parents who bought a small condo down the block from them so they could visit and have the kids STAY AT THE CONDO every once in awhile. My mom laughed when I told her. Great list!
i am a theta mom!!!lol!!
shraddha
Do we have a support group? LOL I'm so all of the 10
Bathroom alone did a whole post on that one … LOL
You crack me up, so needed that
I can so relate to this list. I am definitely a Theta Mom!
Much laughing!
We don't even plugging in our alarm clock anymore!

For some reason I missed this yesterday. But what a great list… I guess I am theta mom LOL Awesome.
Have a great day!
So true!!
I guess that's makes me a Theta mom too, although, by the time one of your kids becomes a teenager, you sometimes lean more toward the Slacker mom side.
#7 is so right on. I used to always set an alarm clock. Now, what's the point I'll be up before it even goes off.
I am a Theta mom, too! Especially the wiping…but I am starting hear "Mom, can you wipe my bum?" In my dreams…or nightmares…
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting and following!
I'd buy you a present if I could…
I love this list. It made me laugh. I even look forward to the in-law visiting because it gives me a break!
Looking forward to reading more!
Sooo true, friend!
Love this list and glad to know there are so many of us who go though the same things!
Isn't number one the truth. I thought I knew how much I would big puffy heart my little dude. I had no idea!
I am a THETA MOM, and totally proud. Great post, you hit the nail on the head as usual!
New here and I just adore this list. As a momma of five, this just tugged at my heart strings! If this is an example of what I’ll find here, I’ll be back often!
