1. You haven’t eaten an inside piece of bread from your 100% Whole Grain loaf since 2005.
2. You have more pairs of comfortable slippers around the house than Monolo Blahniks.
3. You can’t remember the last time you slipped on that ‘little black dress’ in your closet, the one that all the fashion magazines insist that ‘every girl just has to have’.
4. You get as excited to throw a new coat of color on your bedroom wall as you did when you boarded the plane for your honeymoon to Hawaii.
5. Your dog, who used to be the center of attention on weekends, is no longer first string (pre-child #1), second string (child #2), or third string (pretty much everything else that comes along with managing multiple kids, jobs and social calendars, including washing the car).
6. Discussions during “Girl’s Night Out” with your friends no longer revolve around great shopping finds at etsy or LivingSocial, but are focused on stories about potties, sleeping through the night, and bowel movements.
7. You spend more time re-caulking bathrooms and cleaning up urine around the base of the toilet than you used to spend primping in front of the mirror before a hot date.
8. Your gym membership hasn’t seen regular action since the Bush administration was in office.
9. The last time you looked down and saw perky, beautiful, un-lopsided breasts was around the turn of the century.
10. You can’t think of anyplace you’d rather be, or anything you’d rather be doing, than having a lazy morning with your energetic kids, hair disheveled husband and fourth-string dog.

11. You can’t remember where you put the car keys, but you can recite every song from the 80s and 90s involving a Disney princess on cue.
12. Your sense of smell has gone supersonic. Your once-favorite perfume now reminds you of Grandma. You can smell your son’s dirty diaper two rooms away (also a Mommy’s 6th sense).
13. Your Wine Spectator and Popular Mechanic magazines are now replaced by Animal Baby and Highlights.
14. Your idea of multi-tasking on the toilet before kids: reading a magazine while answering nature’s call. Your idea of multi-tasking on the toilet with kids: reading Cinderella to your daughter (who is on your lap) while preventing your son from unraveling the toilet paper — while answering nature’s call.
15. Once upon a time, your car was washed and detailed roughly once a month. Now, the only washing that your car sees is by mother nature when you park out in the rain. And detailing? Well, those teddy grahams, cookie crumbs, and pieces of apple are permanent fixtures in the back seat.
Hahahaha, your additions are always brilliant, Andy! Love it, thanks for the laughter!
LOVE! My favs: #3, #5 =( #6 and of course #10! But I def. love Andrea’s #14 though it is usually a Cars book for me! I have to tell you though, at 41, the #9 is a distant memory (even before kids!)! lol! =)
You crack me up, Joni! Mine have probably been gone since college, I’ve just been in denial.
