I found this on the internet and I liked it, you other moms will too.
I added my comments in bold and  brackets, or rather, parentheses....
 
You Know You're A Mother When...

1. You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're equal.
2. You have time to shave only one leg at a time.
3. You hide in the bathroom to be alone.
4. Your kid throws up and you catch it. (I've actually seen my sister-in-law do this)
5. Someone else's kid throws up at a party. You keep eating. (why wouldn't you?)
 
6. You consider finger paints to be a controlled substance. (they are)
7. You've mastered the art of placing large quantities of pancakes and eggs on a plate without anything touching.
8. Your child insists that you read "Once Upon a Potty" out loud in the lobby of Grand Central Station and you do it. (or at the Forks, at church, wherever...)
9. You cling to the high moral ground on toy weapons; your child chews his toast into the shape of a gun. (not a problem for me, at this point)
 
10. You hope ketchup is a vegetable, since it's the only one your child eats.
11. You can't bear the thought of your son's first girlfriend. (ha ha I have no sons)
12. You hate the thought of his wife even more. (This explains my mother-in-law)
13. You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into cute shapes.
14. You can't bear to give away baby clothes - it's so final. ( I still can't do it!)
15. You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "NOT in your good clothes!"
 
16. You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you. (so true)
17. You donate to charities in the hope that your child won't get that disease.(ok that one is just neurotic and paranoid, I don't do that...well, I give to charity, just not for that reason)
18. You hire a sitter because you haven't been out with your husband in ages, then spend half the night checking on the kids. (Ok, I do that)
19. You use your own saliva to clean your child's face. (It really works!)
20. You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job", but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything. (Amen!)
