B.C. (before children)

So, I'm standing at the mirror plucking my horrendously overgrown eyebrows thinking...before kids, I would have never let my eyebrows get this out of control.  Then I start to think... there is a lot of things that I would have never done before kids or would have ever thought I'd do. Like: 

• not even flinch at cleaning up another person's vomit or poop
• listen to Cinderella on CD and sing, "Bibbity Bobbity Boo" all day while dancing around the house
• not want to go to the mall or any kind of shopping (with three kids, it becomes a nightmare)
• not really want to do anything in public where I might not have close access to a bathroom, privacy for nursing, or a gated area to reign in my kids
• stay up late just to get some cleaning done
• think 8:00am is sleeping in
• eaten so many chicken nuggets (they're really not that bad with some Frank's hot sauce)
• finished other people's plates of vegetables (someone's gotta eat them!)
• give in to so many indulgent requests (before I had kids I knew I would never let my kids walk all over me ever)
• turn my head from so many bad behaviors (before I had kids I knew I would never let my kids step out of line!)
• think taking a bath is an unnecessary waste of time
• think shaving my legs in the winter is an unnecessary waste of time
• let my kids run in the grocery store (that's only for really bad kids)
• let my kids go almost all day with a chocolate milk mustaches or peanut butter smeared on their cheeks (what kind of parent doesn't wipe their kids' faces right after they eat?)
• plan all outings based solely on how much a four year old would enjoy them
• have so many darn toys in my house!! 
• worn sweat pants in public (not the kind with the elastic bottom- I'm not that bad) 
• felt guilty about being away from the kids for more than 2 hours
• had so much fun every. single. day.

I wouldn't trade this life for my perfect little life before kids any day!
