Years ago I got to my desk at the downtown law firm I worked at, reached into my purse for something and pulled out two toy cars. My co worker and I were laughing so hard.

TOTALLY! My husband always laughs when I fill our cups halfway and cut my cutlets into junior bite sized pieces when we eat dinner alone! #momlife

When I'm so desperate to find my 3 year olds pacifier that I end up looking in my working handbag and find one there!!

He's so attached and losing them everywhere, I stash them in there "just in case." Rolling Eyes

When at the end of the day, I have no idea what the original color of my son's t-shirt was... Cause it's all colors except the right one!

When my son comes home from camp for a shabbos and I realize he is wearing his friends undershirt, even though his was labeled. The cherry on top is when I wash his socks and can't match any of them to fold, cause NONE have his label! Omg!! I bought him 6 pairs for when he gets home!!

In work recently I was rummaging around my school bag for something important... I didn’t find it but I did find a spare diaper, baby snack and pacifier...

So this happened today.

My brothers in law and husband wanted to go to an amusement park and I actually declined.

I’m at the age where rides give me headaches and I can’t be asked to wait on line 🙄 Just like my mom used to be!

Instead I spent my day with my kid on the slides. (I think we actually had a much better time then the guys who waited two hours for each 20 second ride.)

But I ask my kids if I could borrow a writing implement from their pencil bags to write my shopping lists or a note.

When I need to sign things that say "Parent's Signature x__________ ".

My first instinct is to wonder how I'm supposed to get the paper over to my parents... Then it hits me.

When I walk into my coat closet (which is NOT a walk-in closet) to see whether my entire family will end up squeezing in there.

No joke - I really did that today. Whenever I walk into a room, it doesn't take longer than 5 minutes and all of my kids 'just happen' to wander in there. With the exception of dinnertime. Suddenly everyone's running away from the kitchen. Go figure.
