I never knew

I never thought I would be the first one of my friends married. I always assumed I would be 30 and still playing the game.

I never thought I would wish I hadn’t sold my fat pants.

I never thought I would utter the words, “put your poop down, that is not play dough!”

I never thought I would miss the slightly sweet smell of a newborns diaper.

I never thought I would file bankruptcy.

I never thought my life would become more informed and improved from bankruptcy.

I never expected to trade in y girly books to read the bible or books on money management. http://www.totalmoneymakeover.com/

I never knew that a four year old could poop that much.

I never expected to hear my son say “look how much I pooped, it’s big huh mom?”

I never thought I would have to tell another kid to take my kids poop out of his mouth.

I never expected to be the mom who wanted to bring the best preschool snacks just so I could win at preschool.

I never thought I would rely so heavily on a calendar and schedule. If I forget my Iphone my world collapses with out Ical.

I never thought I would be 27 and still not know how to spell calendar. Thank God for spell check.

I never thought I would grow up and think that putting a cute shirt over my pajama pants would be a perfectly acceptable outfit.

I never knew I would still be on drugs at this age, I just traded in recreational ones for legal ones. Wooohooo for being legal huh?

I never expected to prefer wine to chugging Aftershock straight out of the bottle.

I never thought I would spend the morning looking for shirts that cover my boobs rather then spend an hour figuring out which one would push them up and show them off the most.

I never thought that I would be so overwhelmingly consumed with everything involving my kids. I worry about food, clothes, school, etc. It is exhausting. I never thought I would enjoy staying home as much as I do. The first few months as a SAMH, I secretly wished I could go back to work. But now? I never want to go back. NEVER.

I never thought that every time things feel like they are going to fall apart, one more fucking thing happens. I never knew that one more kid was going to send my thoughts in scary overdrive. I never knew I'd grow up and just silently hate my husband when he's being a dumbass.

Never thought I would still be with my highschool sweetheart and we would pay 1000 dollars in daycare a month. Never would have thought that I could love three people so much that I would kill for if they were ever hurt. LOVE this post! Thank you

Dress code=0 hints at any sort of boobage. I never thought I'd live in a teeny tiny shit apartment by myself, yet now I LOVE IT. I never thought I'd marry a coworker--yet I am next June.
