Oh the good ole' days.. Where have gone? What happened to late nights, late mornings and freedom? What happened to Greek Weeks, Frat parties and river days? Oh good ole' days where have you gone?
With my 10 year high school reunion and 28th? ( i forget my age :)) birthday swiftly approaching, I have been missing those days.. A time when everything seemed so easy..But now the good ole' days are just a distant memory... We all heard the stories from our parents "glory day's".. I remember with each story thinking " boo hoo, my whole life is a glory day!".. I can still see my dad as he folded his hands behind his head, leaned back in his chair a bit and sighed " ahh, the good ole' days".. Not realizing that sooner than later I would be saying the very same thing in probably the exact same way my dad did.... Life now is filled with more responsibility, more stress, more.... reality!! My life has changed sooo much in the past 5 years... Oh the good ole' days how I miss you!! But you know what?! I wouldn't trade you my life now for anything!!! I traded ratty morning hair, smeared mascara eyes, beer breath, and my mini skirt for ratty all day hair, dark circled eyes, formula breath and an old maternity shirt that is longer than my mini skirt ever dreamed of being!! And I love it!!! I think of my youth as the good ole' days but I refer to my life now as my better days... Because since I got married and had my babies every day just gets better and better... The sleepless nights make me crazy and my long days make me cranky.. But my husband keeps me sane and my babies keep me smiling.. I never knew how much I would appreciate the goo goo's and gaga's, toddler toys and cartoons and the life saver date night!.... But through all the baby poop and tired eyes, I am so glad I have my good ole' days in my past and my better days as my future... ~luv~
