You know you’re a mom when:
Your feet stick to the kitchen floor and you don’t care.
Your favourite television program is a cartoon.
The closest you get to gourmet cooking is making rice krispie squares.
You’re so desperate for adult conversation that you spill your guts to the telemarketer that calls and HE hangs up on you!
