Headless Mom is inspiring me again. She swiped it from Schmutzie so in the spirit of Great Minds think alike,I'm going to try to make myself into a great mind and Think like they do. They seem to be a very good example. Swipe away if you like.
So this 40th Birthday of mine helped make this post seem very important. I think I'm starting to think I'm a real grown up with no chance of going back.
I do not miss...
1. Sharing the bathroom with my brother, but I have to say it gave me great practice for this house full.
2. Going to bed early, I've become a night owl, but I like mostly being in control of bed time.
3. Someone telling me what I should and shouldn't eat? or how much. Sure It's in my control to eat the whole box of cookies, I wont but now I can if I want
4. Bringing home report cards. There is no report card for me anymore.
5. Someone policing the TV!
6. Someone policing my reading choices. If I want to read a smutty book I can, and yep I probably will
7. Sharing the TV. I can tell my peeps to go to bed and weeeeeeeee it's mine all mine.
8. Practicing Piano. I loved playing with the Piano but I Think the idea of being able to play was bigger than my skills.
9. Bullies. I had my share of Bullies growing up, and I don't miss any of them. Some are now in Jail, oh well consequences there guys.
10. Walking home in dresses! When I first started school it was the 70s and a time when some people thought girls should only wear dresses to school. I do not miss dresses and Hurricane force winds. And trying to get my overshoe (winter boots) over my indoor shoes.
11. Oh look I thought of another one, not picking out my own clothes.
12. Leotards (tights as they are known to other places) Cold legs due to the stupid COLD winds.
13. Matching TAMS! and Little cute church coats. Why oh why?
14. Gym class.

We've got a lot in common, I'd have to say I'm with ya for at least half of these!
Omg. Gym class. I. Think about my son now in middle school and dressing down everyday for gym. You couldn't pay me enough to go back to that. Like not even a billion dollars....
A childhood friend just today posted pictures from her 8th or 9th badly party on Facebook. Featuring yours truly with an awful all ends of the bowl haircut turned under hairdo.
I have to say I also Do Not miss the fashion of the 80's. Seriously, what were they thinking?
*not badly party. Dumb iPad. Birthday party.
