You Know You're A Mom If...

...you go to use the chap-stick you keep in your very own toothpaste drawer in your bathroom and, after removing the lid, when you wipe the chap-stick across your lips something falls off the top of the lip balm and lands on your bathroom floor and you think, "man, i hate it when my tube of lip balm breaks off in chunks" and then you realize it was actually a tiny button that fell off the top of the waxy tube and fell on your bathroom floor and you wonder how long ago one of your children searched out the perfect button to rest atop the chap-stick, just waiting for the day someone would unsuspectingly attempt to apply the cherry chap-stick to their lips.

well, it was tonight for me.

I'm so glad you stopped by my blog. I haven't been making my blog rounds like I normally do and I forgot just how much I enjoy your blog.

I think when my kids get a little older, they would do this, too. But they would take the chap stick first, hide it for a couple weeks, then put it back in the drawer with the button.
