working mommy wednesday

You know you're a working mom when...

...you buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes at 6 weeks postpartum, even though you have no intention of remaining three sizes bigger than you were before pregnancy, but you have to have something decent to wear to work!

...your goal getting ready in the mornings is "good enough," but when you get to work and see your childless female coworkers, you realize that "good enough" = frumpy.

...baby pictures now replace wedding pictures on your desk.

...you cut your lunch break down to 30 minutes so that you can leave work 30 minutes early because if you don't, you risk being late picking the kid up from daycare, a $15-per-minute risk (and you can't just start work 30 minutes earlier because the daycare isn't open that early).

..."me" time consists of reading a book during your 30 minute lunchbreak. Oh, how sacred that time is!

...while digging through your work tote bag, looking for Excedrin, you find instead a pair of tiny socks and a bib.

...you don't go out for dinner on weeknights anymore because it takes too much time.

...rather than being concerned about what food is most economical and healthy, you're more concerned with what food is fastest/easiest to prepare. Additionally, you may be a bit too attached to your crockpot.

...while frying eggs for breakfast Sunday, you also make some mashed potatoes to eat with dinner Monday night.

...your husband does more housework than you do.
