1001 Things it means to be a mom...(The good, the bad, and the smelly)

#452: Being a mom means using the TV to entertain your child while you make dinner - and then feeling guilty about it.

#475: Being a mom means going to bed in tears because you screamed at your child who screamed at you for two hours.

#491: Being a mom means having a toddler throw a temper tantrum in the mall and assuming everyone is judging you when they're actually feeling sorry for you.

#495: Being a mom means not forgetting the bread when you go see the ducks. Or - if you forget - stopping at McDonald's, buying a hamburger, throwing away the meat, and then heading to the park.

and my personal favorite:

#512: Being a mom means being overwhelmingly busy of stiflingly bored. Often in the same day.
