I can tell you exactly what I did with my time: my gardens - didn't have a weed! my flowers - beautifully cared for! my lawn - the envy of the neighborhood! My house - clean as a whistle. My workout - at least 3 times a week! My wardrobe - reasonably updated. My hair - cut short and styled with visits to the salon at least every 4 weeks! Now? I have a 21 month old. We debate whether the new flowers are ones I planted or ones God planted. My lawn - much more 'natural' looking and definitely keeping up with some of my neighbors, My house - 'picked up' at least once a week! My workout, um, well lets jump to my wardrobe to explain - doesn't fit! and My hair - much longer, partly by choice, but mostly because - who has time to get to the salon! Thanks for helping me clear that up! When does it get better? Well, I guess it depends on how we define "better"- the time I have given up = time with my beautiful daughter and I wouldn't change that for the world. Man do I think about this question a lot!

Well, I guess it depends on how we define “better”- the time I have given up = time with my beautiful daughter and I wouldn’t change that for the world.

How fun is this to check up on each other via blogs! Let's see, what did I do before kids? Wish that I had kids! Besides that...work, work, work. I don't miss that phase of life; this phase is much more fun! Good to hear from you. Hey, Jodie! How fun is this to check up on each other via blogs! Let’s see, what did I do before kids?
