your child bends over so that you can check if they wiped right and you don’t get grossed out.

Sleeping in becomes a distant memory

You get really when you discover that Cartoon Network and Toon Disney do not play cartoons in the middle of the night when your child is laying on the couch and woke up with the flu and all you are trying to do is get them to go back to sleep while keeping an eye on them so that you can grab the trashcan before anymore projectile vomit comes out. And you are tempted to upgrade your Dish Network package to include Boomerang just for that reason alone.

( was that a run-on sentence or what! )

....you buy McDonald Happy Meals for the toys and go back every week to get the "collection". Oh and go to all the McDonald's in town to make sure you get the "right" toy.

^^^and if they give you one you already have, you beg and plead for a different one.

On the other hand, you feel delighted when they give your kids all the same toy! No fighting or bickering because one kid got a "better" one.

...you realize that your 6th grader knows more about math than you ever wanted to.

...the only restaurants you will even consider going to have chicken nuggets and french fries on the menu.

...you know Thomas AND all of his friends!

...you hear a blood curdling scream and don't flinch because you know that little one just wants to get big one in trouble

The songs that are stuck in your head are from cartoons, NOT the radio!

When you have markers, crayons, cut up paper, and play doh all over your living room and you think your house looks clean.

Your steam cleaner is just sitting out because you know there will be atleast one spill on the rug each day.

You are happy when there is only ONE spill!

...you have gained selective hearing along with your children. They don't listen to you when you tell them to do things, and you don't hear them when they bicker with each other. Your husband hears them over the webcam or phone and asks if you are going to intervene and you have NO CLUE what he is talking about--until you bother to actually take the time to actively LISTEN. You wonder how many other times you have tuned them out.

...you can never take a bath without seeing little fingers wiggling under the door and hearing "Mommy, whatcha doin? Can I come in too?" at least once.

ROFLMAO

...you can do the deed in less time than it takes a cartoon to be over


...you thank Disney for their releases so you have more time to do the deed

...the Wiggles start to look sexy

LMAO!

Under the door? How about trying to take a shower with you! AH! GET OUT!

When you are talking with anothe parent and that selective hearing comes in. Neither one of you realize how loud your girls are playing until someone says something to you. Then you realize that while talking, you were pretty much yelling to each other because you were having a hard time hearing. haha

Uh-oh, I have found one of them slightly attractive. Partly because he looks like a guy that I used to date. Man am I in trouble! HAHA!

...you use the kids as an excuse to go see The Wiggles

...EVERYBODY goes potty before heading out the door. Even if you don't have to go, you have to try.
