To remember.

Ahhh… the good old days

To remember my life before kids – when I actually had a life!!!

memories,, sweet memories

easter and christmas on the cupboard shelf! Those eggs might be something not wanted though!

And you would think that when the kids grew up, you would get your life back – dream on……….

The good old days…an empty apt., look for break in, staring at tv alone, left overs…alone in the dark and what’s that noise?…

Nostalgia!

I was wondering when “after work” was.

But if she was still doing only those things, she’d be bored half the time wondering what else there is to fill her life and heart.

Nostoligia, days before kids. Work then play time.

misty water colored memories…of the way we were….sigh…

I am with Derkin’s….such wonderful memories!

growing pains

Take out the kids, and this resembles my 32 year old single life. Parents, stop glamorizing single people and all the supposed freedom and adventure they have: I work, take the dog out, unclog sinks, clean dog barf off the carpets, and crash in bed before 10:00 each night. At least Jane has a husband to help her, I do everything myself.

That’s why you stay child-free!

Thanks for the heads-up. I’m glad I stayed unbreeding.

Everyone needs a dream to hang on to.

I was a working mom with two kids and my house never looked like theirs. And no, I didn’t have a maid.
