1. You feel that 8am is a luxurious lie in.
2. You realise you've driven a whole journey by yourself and forgotten to change the children's CD.
3. Your 'best top' is about 5 years old and you still refer to it as your 'best top'.
4. You enjoy 'pegging out'.
5. Your idea of a good night probably involves peace, quiet & a bath.
6. You become a master at balancing towers of tupperware on the draining board.
7. Your car bears a striking resemblance to a rubbish skip on wheels.
8. You catch yourself saying things that your mum used to say to you.
9. Your once plump sofa cushions have been replaced by an assortment of festering apple cores, biscuit crumbs and those really annoying plastic toys from the front of children's comics.
10. You love it, you hate it, but wouldn't change any of it.

This post was written as part of the British Mummy Blogger's carnival with no other theme than to be fun and uplifting.  I chose to pull together a list of 10 things that I know make me look at myself and laugh and think how much my life has changed since being a mum.  The photo was taken last weekend on my birthday - cycling with the kids & my husband in the New Forest & sums up the happy day with the kids trying to push me down a slope into the stream!
