2.  You realize you have to do everything with one hand.

3.  You’ve become really good at doing everything with one hand.

4.  Your baby wails in your ear as you are mixing formula as fast as possible (with one hand). You’ve become deaf in your left ear. Or your right. Or both.

5.  You discover there is use for your toes after all, and you now use them to pick up things off the floor.

6.  You’ve gotten used to being tired.

7.  You haven’t had a hot meal in weeks.

8.  You’ve gotten used to eating cold food.

9.  It takes you an hour to eat a piece of fruit, or anything at all for that matter.

10.  By the time you’re done eating, you’re hungry again.

11.  Clean clothes? That’s funny.

15.  You have no time for a shower.

16.  You have no time to pee and find yourself holding it for extended periods of time.

17.  Sometimes you do a “2fer”, and pee while taking a shower.

19.  You then realize that showers are pointless because you’re sweating 5 minutes later.
