How to know you have totally lost your mind

1. You drive a 10 yr old out of state and stay at a hotel to watch him swim 3 total minutes of swimming over a two day period with about 5 hours of waiting each day.

2.You pay $10/person to see these events, then feel a little slighted when the kid does not make it worth it by completing some amazing swimming feat.

3. You help your 5 year old pack a bag to "run away" from home, and start thinking about people who might actually let her live there before zoning back into reality..

4. You spend hours of your day on the tile floor of your bathroom waiting for a 2 year old to pee because she said she had to go.

5. You wait anxiously at the end of school day to see who brings home a "sunny ticket" as if it will change the way the earth orbits.

6. You find yourself singing the "Dora the Explorer" theme song in the shower.

7. It is in any way disappointing that the store is out of Barbie fruit snacks, and you have to choose another character.

8. You fantasize about having a sixth child just to get a few days of quiet at the hospital.

9. You don't know any local radio stations because there is always a child's DVD playing in the car, even when there are no kids with you.

10. Finally, you know you have totally lost it when there is no pen or money in your purse, but there is a spare diaper, a broken crayon, a plastic headband, and six crushed candy hearts!

Welcome to my dementia, the water is warm.....

LMAO! It *IS* a tragedy when there are no Barbie fruit snacks. Everyone knows those taste better.
