The Mommy Mind

My friend and I were discussing the phenomenon of the "Mommy Mind" the other day. It's what happens to your brain when you have children. (This transformation happens irregardless of offspring being biological or adopted.) Here are some things that are signs you have a "Mommy Mind".

1: You know that house slippers can buy you four days between floor cleanings.
2: You know your child has a messy diaper before anyone else can smell it.
3: You consider "Goodnight Moon" good poetry and can recite from memory.
4: You know "why".
5: You figure if it's clean, it's in fashion.
6: You spend more on gas than on beauty products.
7: You know a band aid can work miracles and can unwrap and place with one movement
8: You can tell the difference between Pokemon and Digimon and know that Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus are the same person
9: You know the function of Psuedoephedrine, Acetamenophin and Ibuprofen
10: You can recite your pediatrician's phone number faster than your own

Love it... I would add to #5: You figure if it's clean and it fits, it's in fashion :).

Fabulous! And I still know your peds# now, and no one has been to see Dr. Mason for at least 5 or 10 years. Wow I guess Mommy mind doesn't ever go away.

Does anyone else know "Madeliene"?..."In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines, lived 12 little girls in two straight lines..Oh the memories.
