I have very bravely decided it was time to join the bad mommies blog and take on my first assignment: When do u feel like a mommy and when do you NOT feel like a mommy and when did you first feel like a mommy.

Oh boy where do i start. maybe i should start with when i do NOT feel like a mommy (to make it easier i will just list it.

I do not feel like a mommy when
1. i am having ice-cream with my mommy,
2. I am having a candlelit bubble bath on my own
3. When i munch the last cookie in the cookie jar
4. When i am having a selfish moment
5. When I want my own way
6. When i am on a hot date with my hubby
7. when i am asleep
8. When i am ice - skating
9. When i buy a dress
10. When driving my brothers new Peugot 206 convertable



When do I most feel like a mommy?
1. When they crawl in bed with me at a random hour of the morning.
2. When they fall and I am the ONLY doctor who can help.
3. When they feel sick and only want ME.
4. When i am picking up dog poop.
5. When she (teen) rolls her eyes at me in disgust.
6. When i have to repremand them
8. When i get up at 4 to make coffee and go over study material before the BIG exam.
9. Meeting the first boy/girlfriend
10. Baking
11. Feeding all their pets
12. Buying all the pets..........
13. getting smothered in kisses
14. Getting a good report card
15. Making them eat their veggies
16. Saving up for that one gift they want
17. Spoiling them with a random gift.
18. Making lunch for school (which is a horrible mom task but we do it anyway with LOVE)
19. Going to the zoo
20. Cleaning snot noses.

And when did I first feel like I was someones mom - um lets see it took a while to sink in and take responsibility but i think it would have been the day I stopped buying white....... okay on a more serious note when i first had to ask someone for assistance and help and realised the was a word in the dictionary as exhausted.
