Because I know you really care

  1. Caleb’s carseat.  I want a new one.  Now.
  2. Cleaning the house from top to bottom tomorrow.
  3. Money
  4. Packing for three people to go to the beach.
  5. My ever growing list of things to do tomorrow, the day before we leave.
  6. Money
  7. Fitting everything in the car
  8. Whether I will EVER own a different car other than my 1991 sled.
  9. Who will feed the ani-mules while we are away.
  10. My anal retentive need to plan ahead.  Not having the address of the destination 36 hours before we are scheduled to leave is taking its toll.
  11. Did I mention money yet?
  12. Will I be able to relax, enjoy a much needed vacation, and be away from the internet for four whole days?  What ever will I do?

…before I became a parent

  1. Are you painting on the TV with spit?
  2. Please don’t lick the TV.
  3. Let my child scream in a store.
  4. Cosleep
  5. And love it
  6. Talk about poop. I’ve probably said the word poop enough in the last two years to last most people a lifetime.
  7. Tie a huge blue pool to the top of our car
  8. Purchase something made by Speedo
  9. Think about how many germs were on shopping carts and all things McDonalds (tables, chairs, highchairs, play areas, trays, everything)
  10. Own seven strollers for one child
  11. Did I mention poop?
  12. Believe in love at first sight, and see that love grow more intense with every little step or new discovery, every day.

You ever just really want to ask something, you know it would sound rude, or be overstepping boundaries? Those moments when you see someone, and you think to yourself, what was she thinking wearing that?? But you’d never actually ask, would you? :)

  1. Why don’t you attempt to manage money? For example, spending your tax return within three weeks, only to have your power cut off in four weeks?
  2. Ma’am, have you ever thought of shaving your mustache?
  3. How much… do you make/is your rent/is your mortgage?
  4. Don’t you love your kids? Then why do you get your nails done and go to a movie instead of buying them carseats?
  5. Why are you getting divorced?
  6. Why do you smoke around your children?
  7. Why do you live in a roach infested house where the front porch is falling off and there is no A/C, but you have a Cadillac Escalade parked in the driveway?
  8. How much do you weigh?
  9. Have you ever worked at a strip club?
  10. Did that sentence sound better in your head, or do you usually just not think before you speak?
  11. Do you know you are being a collosal ASS?
  12. Why do you insist on dressing like a teenager when you’re 40/50/60 years old?
