25 More Questions Only Moms Ask Themselves
I have never asked myself more questions than I have before becoming a mom. I question my discipline techniques, my belief systems, and whether or not syrup fits into some kind of food group. I also question my sanity and my hygiene practices and how I can make my children less annoying to the general public. This whole thing is just one big freaking question mark.
Here are 25 other questions I have recently asked myself:
1. Who are these kids and why are they calling me Mommy?
2. How many times can an adult watch Mr. Noodle do the wrong thing before they want to harm him?

4. Am I the only one who can hear the dog whining to go outside?
5. How many holes can I get in these pants until they cause me to get a misdemeanor?
6. How did I not realize how skinny I was at 22?
