Let's see....5 years ago I was 19 years old. I didn't have any children and I was basically free to do what I wanted, besides being with a controlling S.O.B. boyfriend. I took 2 hours to get ready to leave the house. I took a shower before I went anywhere, did my hair, put make-up on, perfume...everything. I want to look my best. I talked to my friends everyday and went out at 11 at night. I could go to sleep at 2am and wake up at noon and didn't feel like the day was gone. People primarily called me "Kat".
Now, 5 years later, I am 24 years old. I have two children and I am married. I never go out unless it's to the grocery store or Target. If it wasn't for text messaging and cafemom then I wouldn't have friends at all. I don't go out passed 6:30 at night. My kids have a bed time and a routine that we stick to.
I am lucky if I get a shower everyother day, I can barely remember to put make-up on before I leave the house, I never put perfume on because it might be irritating to my kids skin and my hair is always in a pony tail....I don't want to mess with it anymore. I know the theme songs to My friends Tigger and Pooh, Higglytown Heros, The Doodlebops, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, JoJos Circus and many more on Disney Playhouse. I watch my mouth when I am mad and my Husband and I have started spelling things because our 3 1/2 year old understands certain things now. I censor the music I listen to because of my Son and I care now if people are sick and they want to come around my kids. Get away! Oh and my new name that EVERYONE calls me is "Mommy" LoL
I don't even remember what an alcoholic drinks tastes like and what is a club? I have been to movies maybe 4 times in the last 4 years. Anyway, that's all I can think of right now. Hahahaha!

I can relate. I am 36 have 3 boys and we never do anything without the boys. Saturday nights the boys are in bed by 8:00 and we are sitting on the couch watching T.V. I usually fall asleep by 9:00, so sad. However I still work full time so I get up and shower and get myself ready everyday, I even do it on weekends. I guess I am a little high maintenance, I do not go anywhere without my hair and make-up done.
