You might be a parent....

You might be a parent if...

You know every word to the song "If all the raindrops where lemon drops and gum drops."

You have read the very same book 19 times in a 3 day time period.

Your walls have at least one small spot with crayon on them.

You know that at Wal-mart they give away free cookies.

You can change a diaper with one had while taking a toddler off the table with the other hand.

You hear the phrase "Oh dammit, I dropped it." and immediately say a silent prayer that she doesn't repeat that at church. Along with another prayer asking God to forgive you because she just "might" have heard that phrase from you.

You might be a parent if you can cook dinner, feed a baby, color with a toddler, and not step on the dog all at the very same time.

You occasionally, think about a glass of wine at 10:30 in the morning, but wait until 10:30 at night!

You have done more then 5 load of laundry in a single day.

You wish you could put YOURSELF in time-out.

You secretly hope the UPS man does not come to your house today, because you just don't want to open the door and show off your messy house.

You brush your teeth during nap-time once in a while, because you just haven't made it that far in your day yet.

When a glass of water turns into this...At 3 AM you sneak down the stairs to the kitchen for water like a ninja in the darkness, being so careful that your karate kid like moves don't make too much noise. Suddenly, one miss step and Ol' McDonald is blasting through the living room like a wanna be gangster's stereo. You freeze and listen in the darkness praying you didn't wake up your sleeping babies.

You wouldn't trade the chaos, mess, or noise for anything.

When you can't wait to hold your little ones and you wish you could keep them small forever...

You might just be a parent.
