Sounds like a mom to me ….

YOU MIGHT BE A MOM IF…
• You’ve eaten a cold dinner standing over the kitchen sink more times than you can count.
• Sleeping until 7 AM is a  treat.
• Without frozen foods, you might starve.
• When going shopping alone, people wonder why you have a grin on your face and are moving so slow.
• You lock yourself in the bathroom for a while, claiming you have bowel issues.
• Going to work is a break.
• You avoid showing your poorly neglected feet and unshaven legs in public.
• You can identify which kid is crying from three rooms away, even when they sound identical to everyone else.
• Your purse contains at least seven different snacks, two broken crayons, and something sticky of unknown origin.
• You’ve mastered the art of using your foot to close cabinets while carrying a baby, laundry, and groceries simultaneously.
• You can change a diaper in the dark, in a moving car, or on a park bench without breaking a sweat.
• You consider it a successful day if you remembered to put on deodorant.

WHEN TRAVELING, TAKE PHOTOS BEFORE YOU ARRIVE _ When you arrive at your vacation destination you’ll be ready for Instagram glory with your smartphone. But some of the most important photos should be taken before you arrive. Travel experts say you should snap a pic of everything — from documents to travel partners — and back those photos to a cloud-based service that can retrieved from any computer. Snap photos of your car, your license plate, your parking space, your parking deck/section sign, the boarding pass, your passport, your luggage and its airline tags, the contents of your luggage, your kids and, yes, even your spouse.

THE NFL WILL NEED 27,000 FOOTBALLS _ Football is back, and the Wilson company makes the roughly 27,000 footballs needed for the games this season.
• Wilson has produced every football used in NFL games since 1941, and these balls are hand sewn at the Wilson factory in Ada, Ohio.
• The signature NFL football is called “The Duke”, named after former New York Giants owner Wellington Mara.
• Tens of thousands more will be produced for use in team practices, promotional and event give-aways, and more.
