Before I became a mom…….
1. I never had to pick anyone else’s nose.
2. I actually fit very nicely into size 8 jeans and had no idea how much things would sag change after I had kids (and how little I would actually care about it).
3. I had never been pooped on, peed on, spit on, puked on, drooled on, sneezed on or had boogers wiped on me.
4. I had no idea how much I would enjoy singing along to They Might Be Giants while I’m driving in the car. Even when I’m alone.
5. I had the luxury of being able to pee and take a shower with the bathroom door shut!
6. I could wear heels every day – and rocked ‘em.
7. I had no clue what poision ivy looked like.
8. I never found little bits of ground up Cheez-It’s in the bottom of my bag.
9. I was able to have a sick day (or more importantly, a “mental health” day). These days, if I take a day off…..wait a second – I don’t get days off. Crap.
10. I totally took getting a good nights sleep for granted.
I’m a completely different person than I was eight years ago before I got prego, but I wouldn’t change it for anything.
