YUP! Except the sleep thing. I was BLESSED with great sleepers. My biggest problem is getting them to wake up in the morning. :)

And that is already a huge step in facing all the rest. I can’t complain either, to be honest. That is why I am still sane.

Oh, Amber. Amber, Amber, Amber. Leave this place and never return!
All of these made me smile, but momsonic hearing? I can name that gait in three steps. And then momprehension: I amaze myself with the ability to hear, understand, and respond accordingly when they’re all talking at once.

You nailed it! Every single one! Especially the cosmic way that any time I get ready to enjoy a cup of coffee, and hope that it will done in a brief moment of peace and quiet, all hell surely does break loose!

Love that one! Super embarrassing when you tell a room of adults that you need to go potty.
We had a firedrill this week at work. My reaction when the firebrick pulled up: firetruck!!!!! Good thing they all know I have a two year old…
Love it! I can do the Thermomother thing. It’s scary accurate, but of course I check it anyway. Some of the others I need to work on.

I know Momlusional so well. BUT I’m absolutely positive that tonight I will get some sleep.
See…
Jennifer recently posted..The Silent Auction
Yeah… How’d that work out for you? (Written at 5AM?)
I stayed up too late, had one crawl in one side at about 2 and the other one about 5. (sigh)
Jennifer recently posted..The Silent Auction
Add me to the growing crowd of Momlusional ladies. I am going to DIE if I don’t get a good night’s sleep soon. She Who Must Be Obeyed is now almost four months old and her latest thing is to sleep in shifts with her sister — SWMBO sleeps all day, big sis sleeps all night.

I could easily change that “Mompiphany” to “Lifepiphany” cause I swear in life….I have no friggin clue what I’m doing half the time.
I apparently fake it well.

Sarah May recently posted..Oh My God!!! I’m a grandmother!!!
LOL. Love that one.
These are right on! I have “special mommy powers” that enable me to know what’s just been spilled in the back seat, or whose hand is in the cookie jar even if I’m in the bathroom, or if you’re using your truthful voice/wearing your truthful face. I think it’s a combination of MSP and Momsonic Hearing…keeps the kids (and the hubs) on their toes!
What do you call it when you have the ability to ignore the chaos that is reigning around you, or to ignore your child going, “mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy…” I have that.

I’ve got that one too – mom’s invisible ear plugs.
Mercy recently posted..Missing My Babies Babyhood
Momlective hearing. :)
Oh yes. This is awesome! I definitely have the Mom Sensory Perception one and always know when the school is calling . Which is a lot! I have 4 kids and for two weeks straight I got a call every single day. I considered not even leaving the school at one point . Finally my kids got well and then my son decided to play pencil wars and narrowly missed losing an eyeball during circle time. *sigh* It never ends…:)

Yes, yes yes! The Mom Flex and Mom Sleeves are the two I connect to the most. However, the mom sleeves is more for poopy diapers than runny noses.

UM YES YES YES. Also, I missed my mommy flex early today at work and that was a mistake.

Mama Nalyn recently posted..Valentines: Before and Affer Having a Baby
Just last week I was at the theater and, upon seeing the line, opted out of using the ladies’ room during intermission for a preemptive pee. I muttered aloud, “it’ll be fine provided I don’t sneeze, cough or laugh too hard” just loudly enough for the three women nearby to laugh and nod in agreement…
Thank you!!
Momflex – that is so me right now!

Im so that hopeful sleeper.
The person that recommended 8hrs of sleep was a man.
Cause if it was a woman she wouldn’t have been so greedy.
Oh my Mom-ness, I love it!
You left out one word, though.

I think we could also add MOMNESIA: the act of forgetting where you put your keys, your sunglasses, your purse, your shoes while simultaneously knowing the details of each child’s schedule down to the minute.

Yes!! How the hell is that??!!
I once pulled the TherMoMeter thing on a nurse in the hospital. He argued, I insisted. He retrieved a SECOND digital thermometer, I disagreed with that one as well.
Just to prove me wrong he found an old fashioned thermometer and took my thankfully too-sleepy-to-care toddler’s temp…er….the “old-fashioned” way and I was correct within two-tenths of a degree.
momvision-the ability to see any tongue sticking out, eyeball pokes, hair pulling and pinches from the back of your head.
Absolutely! Or, to know exactly who started it.
These are all too real. Love it.

Oh my goodness- I have been sick with a bad cough for the past two weeks and have been “Momflexing” the while freaking time!
Ahh the joys of motherhood. Really I think it has made me much smarter. I think my back to work resume will say,”Provided comprehensive services to non-english speaking clients with immediate life-safety needs, While teaching them English.”

Julie McGuire recently posted..RIP Common Sense: A Mother’s Free Piece of Advice to the Campaign of 2012
I’ve given up being momlusional. Last night at around 3 am I awoke to a little voice saying “Can you please be quiet, I’m trying to sleep”. Somehow my daughter had crept into my bed without my knowledge and then proceeded to wake me from the best sleep I’ve had all week. Evidently my snoring was bothering her.

As someone who has been having an allergy attack all week, the Momflex speaks to me. Glad to see I’m not the only one with the mantra “squeeze before you sneeze.”
Mom Flex…you know your life has hit a new low when even your 4.5 & 6.5 year old know why Mom crossed her legs while standing at the stove stirring supper pot.
Mompiphany…a daily accurence for the Fortuitous Housewife.

Oh I am a master of the mom flex manoeuvre! After 2 kids, I pee myself when I run the tap to wash dishes :(
Mommaperception– 5hat freaky moment in the grocery store that you realize you can I.d. Any baby within w months of age and why they are crying. And it never goes away.
Mom-a-sauraus Rex. She emerges after that last straw…..

This is BRILLIANT! I especially love “Momsonic Hearing”—besides knowing exactly what kid is coming down the hall, I can also guess what they want by how slow/fast they are walking. To add to that, I’ve always said how amazing my hearing has gotten since having kids—I can be watching a movie with the volume up rather hight, and I can still hear one of my kids calling me through their closed bedroom door. It’s like a 6th sense—I also wish I could turn it off sometimes. My kids know that I hear them no matter what, so they are REALLY lazy and just wait for me to come to them! Is there a word for that?

I so have MSP! I call the kids bluff all the time on brushing their teeth so that they go and brush them. Mentioning how their teeth with rot if they dont wash them, also helps. :)
