Top Ten Signs You've Been Home Alone With the Kids for Too Long

By Linda Sultan

10. You wait for your child to nap so you can play with Barbie all by yourself.

9. You begin cutting your own meat into tiny little pieces.

8. Big Bird’s new bow tie

gives him a handsome, debonair look you never noticed before.

7. You call your mother and tell her all you’re friends are busy, you have nobody to play with and you’re bored.

6. When you finally sit down with your new novel, you start to read it aloud.

5. You long to watch a TV show NOT brought to you by a letter of the alphabet.

4. There’s an ad for shoes across from an ad for diapers and the diaper ad gets your attention.

3. You don’t mind being sticky.

2. You can’t remember the last time you were alone in the bathroom.

and the number one sign you’ve been home alone with the kids for way too long

1. You wish your mother lived with you.

I can remember those days. Thankfully the boys have outgrown a lot of those TV shows, but you know it's pretty bad when you have a crush on Steve from Blue's Clues! :) haha! I can relate to number 1...my mom is such a help to me with the boys! Thanks for the laughs and the memories..enjoy it while it lasts!

hehe, very cute, Lindsey. Especially since you spent a whole week taking care of 4 babies.
I like the one about the shoes ad vs. diapers ad, I have been there with 2 in diapers - you gotta find the best deal. haha.
