Just Like College

I couldn't resist sharing this with you...

20 Ways Parenthood is Just Like College

1. You feel like you're constantly being tested.

2. Someone's always smarter than you (or at least they think they are).

3. Your roommates are slobs, and they steal your food.

4. There's nothing in your bank account.

5. All-nighters.

6. You get kicked out of the library for leaving behind crumbs and creating a ruckus.

7. Keg parties and parties at Chuck E. Cheese produce the same kind of hangover.

8. You never seem to be able to get the place to yourself.

9. Naps.

10. You hate your roommates' music and they hate yours.

11. You can neither identify nor locate the source of that funky smell coming from your roommate's closet.

12. Five in the morning is really really early -- or really, really late -- depending on whether or not you've been to bed yet.

13. People talk to you while you're in the shower.

14. You're too exhausted to retain what you're reading.

15. Oh, now you can identify that smell. You forgot to take that half-eaten sandwich out of the backpack yesterday.

16. You're wearing your college sweatshirt again -- it's the cleanest thing you could find.

17. Someone always leaves the party crying.

18. Hey! How about pizza? Again!

19. You think you're the only one who feels clueless.

20. It goes so fast.

Some of these could just apply to a spouse, but I thought they were funny enough about my child.

Hope you get a giggle, too! :)

You should really look into the whole correct time for the East Texas Area.

Hint: we are in Texas, which is in the CENTER :) of the nation! :)
