Once Upon a Time

Ahhh, life before kids...I often think back to this time, which seems so long ago. It was such a simpler time. No responsibilities. No worries. The real kick in the pants was at the time I didn't realize how easy life was - I thought getting up for work and grocery shopping was tough stuff. A hangover was my biggest problem and getting the laundry folded was considered a busy day.

Once upon a time...

• I didn't have to schedule hanging out with friends a minimum two weeks in advance to schedule babysitters
• I actually hung out with friends.
• I had time.
• I had money.
• I had time for myself.
• I wasn't nervous waking up to see if I will be delayed due to a messy bout of diarrhea.
• I loved my dog (just kidding Bella, kinda).
• I walked my dog (sorry Bella).
• I bought new clothes for myself.
• I shopped at stores other than Target and Buy Buy Baby.
• I went to bars to watch football games and yelled at the refs and clapped (now I whisper shout when games happen during nap time).
• I watched TV as loud as I wanted without worrying I would wake a cranky child

Obviously Cole and Henry are worth missing out on all of the above. Unless they turn out to be criminals, then I will regret it all.

 

Hopefully this will be Henry's last picture shirtless behind bars.

 

Bella is super gross. That is dog drool by the way.



Henry looks like a pot bellied, balding old man
