Name something you miss before having had kids

Is there ANYTHING that you miss about yourself or things you used to do or whatever before having had kids?

I miss packing up and just going wherever, whenever without any notice at all and without making arrangements for it to happen.  I love my kiddies though. :)

I got them bad with my first. :( Thankfully they are pale white and match the color of my skin now but they are so numerous that they are visible.  I am just glad I did not get any with my second and so far not my third.

Hope mine will fade in time. DS is 3 and they're still dark purple. :-(

I miss buying really expensive clothes, shoes, and purses and not caring about the amount I spent! I didn't have any bills at the time..lol
Now, I feel guilty buying a $15 pair of flip flops!

Oh yeah, I feel the guilt when buying things for myself too, even though I don't spend it unless I know we can afford it.

I miss going out to play pool with my friends and having a couple of drinks.
I miss going to the club every once in a while.
I miss sleeping in late
But I'm glad I have my little pookie.
