Over Memorial Day weekend, we went to visit my husbands 95 year old grandmother in a nursing home. It was a wonderful visit to see all the generations together. While there, an old man gave me "the look". He literally undressed me with his eyes. I have never felt so disgusted and flattered at the same time. It started me thinking, when did.......
40 start to sound young?
a well organized, room for everything, diaper bag replace designer handbags?
having cute clothes for my children replace having cute clothes for myself?
Parenting magazine replace In Style?
reading a book at bedtime mean reading "Curious George" or "Goodnight Moon"?
5 hours of sleep sound like heaven?
watching my husband play with the kids give me a true belly laugh instead of watching Two and a half Men?
all three children going down for a nap together resulted in Happy Hour instead of drinks at seven with a few friends?
staying home became more fun then hanging out?
skorts replaced skirts and capris replaced pants?
whats for dinner became more important than where we are going for dinner?
the political future of our country became more important than my next career step?
poopy diapers once day became the topic of conversation between my mother and I?
a minivan became my car of choice?
a vacation at Disney became a dream vacation more than a trip to the caribean?
child friendly means happy mommy?
the thought of doing the same thing tommorrow as I did today and the day before mean comfort and contentment?
good school districts replaced convenience to shopping and local attractions?
moving away from your family became heartbreaking?
raising three well adjusted kids more important than winning the lottery?
I will tell you when, when I became a Mom.
And that's just a few! Let me know yours.
