Moms are experts at crunching time. We have to be; if we didn't, the place would devolve into chaos. Well... more chaos than it already is. So to squeeze a little extra time in our day, we engage in a special kind of multitasking.
I like to call it multimomming, because I never did this kind of multitasking Before Kids (B.K.) And so if you've ever done these sorts of things, you might just be a multimommer.
If you ever scrubbed a tub at the same time as you were stealing a few minutes to wash your hair, you might just be a multimommer.
If you've ever operated both a vacuum and a dusting rag or a washcloth at the same time, you might just be a multimommer.

If you've ever used your kid's dinner plate to demonstrate his math homework, you might just be a multimommer.
If you've ever used a part of your body other than your hands to hold up a baby's bottle, you might just be a multimommer.
If you've ever made a competition out of how quickly your kid can get ready for bed so that you can finish another task, you might just be a multimommer.
If you've ever gotten undressed, thrown your clothes in the load you just added to the washing machine, and then re-dressed yourself out of the dryer, you might just be a multimommer.

If you can't sit down through an entire breakfast, you might just be a multimommer.
If you ever set up a workstation so you can breastfeed hands-free and do work at the same time, you might be a multimommer.
If you've eaten more than one meal out of the pot off the stove at the same time you're doing dishes, you might just be a multimommer.
If you've ever used your hair dryer to dry parts other than your hair and/or parts of other people, you might be a multimommer.
(Editor's note: I did this yesterday for a pair soaking wet hoodie cuffs my 12 year-old didn't mention until his bus was at the corner. I've also used the windshield defroster for mittens. And once, during a camping trip, I had to dry a pair of socks by securing them in the electric window and driving into town for more gin.)

If you've ever been brushing your teeth and putting socks, pants and underwear on at the same time you're sitting on the toilet to pee, you might be a multimommer.
And last but not least, if you can't remember the last time you had a peaceful bath by yourself without your husband suggesting the kids get in with you, you might be a multimommer.
