10 Ways to tell if you are a "real" mommy yet...

1. Your child is wearing a $30 Gymboree sweater and $40 Calvin Klein jeans. You, however, are wearing a $12 hoodie from Target and you have a hole in your sock. You are still, however, wearing lipstick that you paid $30 for to try to make yourself feel "girlie" again...
   
2. In your diaper bag you have the following snacks for your child: a sippy cup full of organic apple juice, a bag of raisins that you dried yourself, 3 different kinds of organic cereal puffs and a bottle of water. When you are hungry, you search desperately in your purse for a leftover restaurant mint.
3. Your once immaculate car now is home to 2 strollers, a shopping cart cover, 3 stuffed animals, 5 teething toys, 2 baby coats, a water-resistant blanket to use at the park and lots of old Mapquest directions to various playgroup activities.
4. You used to do 2 loads of laundry per week -- one lights and one darks. You now do laundry every day and your sorting technique now includes a "poop" load and a "vomit" load.
5. Your once svelte dog is now 12 pounds overweight since she no longer has your undivided attention.
6. You haven't seen a movie with swear words in 10 months.
7. You forget that your birthday is coming up, instead focusing on your child's birthday that is 2 months away.
8. You forget to buy toilet paper but never forget to buy breast pads.
9. You plan your life around naps. Not your naps. Your child's naps.
10. You haven't set your alarm clock in 10 months.
