I love this. (And I still love the missing 3 key!)
LOVE THIS POST! So true! And the number 3 key is cracking me up too!
Before you were married:
You ran down the hall with little feets!
You hugged your Mom and Dad 100 xs a day!
You dressed yourself in funny costumes!
You ate whatever Joan cut up for you! Or was that Jennifer!
You wore tiny swirl skirts and twirled round and round!
You colored everything in site!
You spent the night with Grandma Irene and Papa Joe and ate yellow cake and strawberries!
Isn't it interesting how round the world is?
I love this commentary on Your life before marriage!

You're so on target. Sometimes I still can't believe I'm lucky enough to be called Mom, and my son just turned 12.
Beautiful post!
Let's see.....before kids, I:
*showered every day
*wouldn't be caught dead in something that wasn't ironed
*never added up the total in my shopping cart
*couldn't wait to have kids! :)
