I use to love to dip Wendy's fries in my Frosty, now my favorite treat is vanilla ice cream with butter-brickle sprinkles on top.
I use to say I'd never live in this small town for the rest of my life, now I can't imagine raising my family elsewhere.
I use to run at a pretty good clip, now I walk, some days pretty slow. Hopefully that will change back again :)
I use to be able to do flip flops into flips, now I only wear flip flops.
I use to stay up late at night, now it's a treat to go to bed early.
I use to think I would NEVER home-school. Now I can't imagine not spending my days with my children.
I use to cringe at the thought of one more set of bed sheets to put on. Now I am glad I have children who fill the beds.
I use to cry, silently inside, when someone criticized me. Now I take what they have to say and try to better myself because of it.
I use to make the children's beds so they would look perfect. Now they make their own, who cares what it looks like as long as they did their best.
I use to drink pop, all the time. Now I drink water with lemon or lime.
I use to be able to bend over to tie my shoes, now I slip on sandals.

That was a fun post! I still like Frosty's from Wendy's WITH fries. I'm with you on the pop thing. It makes me feel ill! Make beds? My least favorite household chore aside from dishes. I could do laundry all day though! Crazy, I know. I used to say I would never hpeome school, but I considered it (briefly) this year and am open to it in the future and ADMIRE those who do it well (like you!) Small towns? pros and cons. I'm not fully convinced. I can totally relate to your "criticism" comment. Constructive is GOOD....so good! Sandals ALL THE WAY. I love my Chacos. :)
I like what you said about critism. It takes a strong person to do that. :)
