SUNDAY CONFESSIONS!
{my confessions on what I miss before becoming a mother}  I confess I miss having no responsibilities. Not having to worry about anyone but me. Not having to have my heart stop at the thought of a fall, cut, scrap or bruise. Not having to keep an eye at all times on what and where my child is.

I confess I miss having alone time with my husband. We have not had a date night or a night alone without our daughter being in the same place since she was born {which she will be 6 years old next month}. We don't' believe in babysitters or anyone watching her so date nights haven't been very do-able. We used to go to the movies every Friday and spend money going out to eat and dressing up really nice and always going to the theme parks. Stay up all night. There are times where I wish we had that again some days.

I confess I miss not getting in trouble for using bad words. LOL My daughter always catches me and does the finger point and goes and tells on me that I'm saying bad words. I have such a potty mouth. I can't hep it. I try though. Honest I do.

I confess I really miss being able to watch whatever I want to. I love horror movies and tv shows that aren't appropriate for children. So I don't get to just watch tv or a movie when I want. I normally have to try and stay up late after bedtime to finally get something in I've been waiting to see. Which almost always never works since I fall asleep with her. Or I have to be up early in the morning for work so getting sleep is more important then falling asleep at work the next day.

I confess I miss having extra money to spend on random crap I don't need but just want. Going and buying a new outfit just cause or splurge on the new makeup collection for the season. I need new makeup. Mine is out dated I'm sure.

I confess I miss not having any privacy. Most nights my husband sleeps on the couch and me and my daughter in the bedroom. I can't wait til we move into our new place and she has a room all to herself and then he won't have to be on the couch. Though I know he doesn't mind cause the couch is really comfortable. I love sleeping on it myself.

I confess I miss sleeping in. Not being woken up to a child crying because she had a nightmare and then on my days off, she wants to be up at 6:00am just cause Spongebob is on and she wants me to watch it with her.

Even though there are so many things that I can't do anymore now that I'm a mommy, I still love being a mommy. I don't' think I ever gave up my youth or lost anything. She is my world and every now and then we all want a break and do things we used to be able to do. Giving up things is just what being a parent is all about. And when she tells me everyday how I'm the "bestest mommy in the world", it makes everything wrong right again. I would rather give up my past to be her future then to give up on her. I don't ever want to let her down or the new little one on the way.
