Deep in my heart, I’d like to think that I still have the party-girl spirit that I had in my mid-20’s. However, the fact that I’m nearly 3 months late on going out to my once-favorite bar to collect on my promised birthday drinks, kinda clues me in that I don’t have the party-hardiness anymore.
But I don’t really miss it. I mean, I have waves of nostalgia that come over me, remembering nights of martinis and my favorite DJ boy-toys spinning; girls decked out to the Nth degree, and the boys all with their casual suaveness. It was fun, but I ain’t that girl anymore.
It’s always funny to me, when people try to “warn” me about having a baby, about how much I’ll have to “give up”.
[Them] You know you can’t go out clubbing on a random Tuesday night, right?
[Me] I haven’t done that in at least 7 years, but thanks for the heads up.
[Them] No, really, everything changes! You can’t hang out at the bar until 3am, then go over to the illegal after-hours juke joint and keep partying. You have to stay home ‘cause you have kids! And you can forget about going to the movies until they’re at least 4.
[Me] Wow, that sounds great, ‘cause I’m all about staying home these days. I go to the theater to see a movie maybe twice a year; I’m a DVD rental whore, myself. By the way, I’m so sorry that you resent your children, and think that they stole your youth. I, however, drained my fucking youth-cup to the dregs, enjoying every drop, and am now ready to grow up and have a family.
By the way, I’m somewhere around 7dpo. And I hate prenatal vitamins.

i hate prenatals too! They make me feel sick if taken on an empty stomach, and make me burp a gross taste even on a full stomach! PNVs should come in like kiddie flavors of grape and banana!
This is frosty flake from the 1,2,3 dpo bg on ff btw :)
I got so many comments like that before I had my son. I haven't missed a single moment of any of that stuff. You are exactly right, you will enjoy every second of your kid/s "ruining" your life.
Just found your blog, keeping lots of positive thoughts for you.

I know exactly what you mean. I am so over partying and hanging out at the bar. I can't wait to have a good excuse to stay in!! I'm definitely done with that youth thing.
