You know you have a large family when...

• You find yourself relating some small incident to your husband and starting with the words, "Well, I only boiled twenty-six eggs for breakfast..."
• ...you buy a 40 pound box of bananas intending to make banana bread and freeze a bunch for smoothies...but your children eat them all first.
• ...you find an afternoon root canal relaxing.
• ...it takes you twenty-three minutes on the phone to schedule your children's dental appointments.
• ...you've given up on using your toaster entirely and make all of your toast under the broiler in you oven
• ...you find yourself thinking, "Wow, the house is so quiet and peaceful with only nine children".
• ...you have enough children to constitute not one, but TWO large families.
• ...you have a laundry basket devoted entirely to lonely socks seeking their mate.
• ...when you got to buy your children those cool "spin toothbrushes" because you think they get their teeth so much cleaner...but the store doesn't carry enough styles/colors for your children to each have a different toothbrush.
• ...when you can't take all of your children to the doctor's office at the same time because the waiting room has only 10 seats and they are only open 9-5.
• ...you call the doctor to get your children tetnus shots, and they tell you they don't have enough in the office and need to order more from the health department.
• ...you take up more than one entire pew in church.
• ...you take only half of your children to the library, and STILL get asked if they're all yours.
• ...you go to fill your children's prescriptions at the phamacy and you clean them out of every pill they have...and it's still not enough.
• ...you spend sixty dollars on socks...and not everyone gets new socks.
• ...you go shopping at SAM'S club and the cashier asks if you're having a soccer barbecue.
