14 Things I Don't Miss from Childhood
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.

10 Things I miss from Childhood
I totally swiped this idea from the Headless Mom :)
Since today is my Birthday I thought it was a great idea. So 10 Things I miss...
1. Cartoons with my younger brothers and sisters on a Saturday morning.
2. Sliding in the Snow during a storm, and coming in and out and in and out for new mitts, or waiting for my mitts to FREEZE enough so they weren't really "wet"
3. playing in the sprinkler or the wet banana slip and side.
4. having my Mom do my hair in braids. Yeah sure it hurt sometimes but I loved the kinks after we took them out.
5. playing crazy 8's in my friends basement. I was really bummed when she moved away. Still haven't found her even on FB
6. catching snow flakes on my tongue.
7. Going to Visit my GM and then going next door to play with my cousins.
8. Vic 20 Games!
9. Not having to buy Gas for my car.
10. Not paying bills.
only 9minutes left to this Birthday! I've enjoyed every Minute!
