You know your a mum when...

I'm currently wearing a mad mum bun, the tshirt I was wearing yesterday and finally sitting down to a hot cup of tea. You guessed it! I'm surviving off a few hours sleep and finally some rest time now that my gremlin has decided he's tired from all that no sleep last night. Ok so I called Xavier a gremlin but I probably look more like one then what he does, he's the cute version (I guess). Now that I'm enjoying my hot tea and daytime sit coms, I'm thinking about how different my life has become since Xavier joined it, I wouldn't change it for the world even with my day old tshirt and notorious, completely unglamourous mum bun. So with all this thinking and serious avoidance of housework, I made a list of you know your a mum when... So here it is!

You know your a mum when...
- wearing the same jeans you did the previous day if there's no food stains or boogers is normal, if you can make it to day 3 then your Wonder Woman.
- rocking the mum bun is easier then straightening your hair because you get to sit down for an extra 10 minutes (if your lucky).
- Having a chocolate stash hidden is perfectly normal, so is hiding in a different room so you can eat it too without having to share.
- singing or humming peg+cat, giggle and hoot or Sesame Street while you wash the dishes or showering because you watch them 7 days a week more than what you listen to the radio nowadays.
- you can hear 'mum' linger in your ears even when the kids are sleeping, it's like an alarm that never stops beeping.
- Rocking back and forth in the supermarket even when you don't have a child in tow, the general people probably think your weird until you get a giggle and smile from another mum, accompanied by a nod of 'been there, done that'..
- finding gross food stuffed in the couch or any other place you can hide food doesn't phase you anymore because at least you know the smell isn't a poopy nappy you have to change.
- seeing your partners face at the end of the day is the best thing in the world because you get an adult conversation and can cuddle someone who actually sits still.
- sleeping in to 7am is a treat, if you make it to 8am then you should probably check your kitchen because they're probably making angels in the flour they've poured on the floor.
