So, I came across this blog today while stalking the posts of friends on social media and I got to thinking about my life without children.
I was lazy. I was hungover 24/7. I did whatever I wanted, Whenever I wanted to do it. I didn't care about my jobs because I didn't have anyone to support so I called in, I slept in late, and I simply didn't show up. I wore low cut tops, skin tight jeans and 5 inch heels... All at the same time and I thought it was sexy! I died my hair, cut my hair, and entirely spent too much money on my hair. I ate fast food. I drove too fast, drove after drinking, drove while drinking, texted while I drove too fast, texted, drank, and then went over the speed limit, got pulled over and made up excuses. I had parties, went to parties, didn't care how I got home. I made people resent me, I made enemies, I made friends that I lost and I ruined relationships.
Then, I had a child.
I spend my days running around like crazy, never having time to be lazy. I can never do what I want to do when I want to do it, I do what WE want to do when it's convenient for Lennon's nap, eat & poop schedule. I wear mommy clothes, with tennis shoes and sometimes my socks don't match. I gave up changing my Coach purses to match my outfits to carry a diaper bag that's overflowing with sippy's and diapers. I drive like a MOM, I yell at crazy drivers, I judge the young teenagers that text and drive. I am very careful about who I let into our lives and who my friends are.
My life is sleepless nights, Cheerios in my couch, runny noses, Thomas instead of Keeping up with the Kardashians, peeing with someone watching, never taking a hot bath alone, stepping on Legos and skipping the bottle of wine to buy a gallon of milk and I wouldn't trade it for anything. My life would be boring without her. She's my life. I was the person that didn't want kids to "ruin" my life but now that I have her I couldn't imagine life without her. :)
I am in love with being a mommy, a wife and I can't imagine it being any different!
