You think you hear a baby crying in the middle of the night and your youngest is 21.
You shop for furniture, etc., checking to make sure it's safe, isn't easily ruined, will be easy to clean.
You fall asleep each night running the next day's activities and meal ideas through your brain. Or stewing over a bad day or thanking your lucky stars for your current crew.

You have children's songs in your head ALL DAY long, even on the weekends!
When you look at CL solely for the purpose of finding a deal for your daycare or scoping out other openings/providers in the area.
When you are at the store and are constantly looking for clearance items for the kids.
When you say words like the one's pp mentioned.
You see kids while you are out and think "they would or wouldn't be a good fit for my program.
You are the only one in the neighborhood walking around with a slew of kids every day.
