I guess I don't quite feel so adult since I don't have a regular babysitter. Maybe I will then.<BR/><BR/>But, really I think it was on my last birthday that I thought "I feel the same as I did when I was 17" and that's when I realized "Don't only old people say that?"Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417657410261794465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-972155735664880792009-03-21T07:30:00.000-07:002009-03-21T07:30:00.000-07:00For me, baby #1 was ... cool we have a baby. But w...For me, baby #1 was ... cool we have a baby. But with baby #2 it was like ... dude, we are a family. It was a completely different feeling and set of responsibilities. All of the sudden things like FHE were no longer skipped because we were a "family." Everything changed. A good change, but I actually felt different about my identity. Before I was a mom, after two I became a mother. I don't know if that makes sense, but I think you did a great job expressing it in your post.

I still have moments when I am hanging out in my bedroom with my laptop, and I hear a commotion in the other room, and I try to ignore it and suddenly I remember I'm the mom, and I have to actually get up and take care of the problem. Hey, wait a minute. Who put ME in charge? <BR/>If you think it's bad now, just wait 'til those darling girls are suddenly teenagers (and it will happen suddenly) and you don't feel any more prepared to handle teenagers than you feel right now. It is the same feeling you had when they handed you your first baby at the hospital and told you to go home. "Seriously, you really trust me to take this baby home and take care of it?" Maybe they trust you, maybe not, but its your kid, do you best. That is so life, and the feeling doesn't change as they get older. <BR/>Just wait 'til the next life when you get your own world. "Seriously, Lord, you really trust me to take care of that?"<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Rachelle@atticgals.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421490413749517236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-8206429016107946322009-03-20T22:13:00.000-07:002009-03-20T22:13:00.000-07:00I get all excited when I see your long wordy posts...I get all excited when I see your long wordy posts!!! I love your writing. I totally get you on this post... although that's scary because I'm a wee bit older than you are and I still don't know if I feel like a grown -up. I think you have things together WAY more than most. There's always more to learn and sometimes it's fun to look back and see how far you've come.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689417728483761811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-12392211805864097692009-03-20T18:33:00.000-07:002009-03-20T18:33:00.000-07:00loved this post. I've been feeling this a LOT late...loved this post. I've been feeling this a LOT lately, as we live on campus and I find myself surrounded by thin, tan, single people, and I'm chasing my children and chub through all of them. lots of gawks, let me tell you. yep, I'm definitely at a different place in life than them.<BR/><BR/>as for adult knowledge, brandon is my secret ticket to that. he is much more in the know, and imparts his knowledge to me in the form of casual conversation throughout the day. ross, this means it's all up to you! :)<BR/><BR/>lillie, EVERY time I go out somewhere, I wonder if I'm going to get to get a treat. can we be friends? :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571579497960098993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-28517739369591785582009-03-20T17:05:00.000-07:002009-03-20T17:05:00.000-07:00This is Danielle..Lizzie's sister, you know- I dro...This is Danielle..Lizzie's sister, you know- I drop a comment now and then:) Anyway, after reading this post, and many others of yours...I'm just sure you should write a book. You are a GREAT writer- and you thinking that was a negative post? Somehow I was confused because I found it uplifting- I guess it seemed to me you were describing how grateful you were for your life, instead of complaining? Does that make sense? Anyway- not to get too philosophical...I just think you are a great writer and thought you should know:)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567918036484603809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-4595458519615271012009-03-20T15:54:00.000-07:002009-03-20T15:54:00.000-07:00Oh I hear Ya!

I still don't think I'm an adult but every once in a while I can't ignore the little wrinkles that are creaping into my skin or the occasional gray hair that pops up. Oh, and for me, I think the proof that I joined the adult club came with a marriage certificate and my babies birth cirtificates. That's when I knew I had officially joined the club. Some people may measure adulthood differently, but that's the defining moments that turned me into an adult.moliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826844692965554698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35880183.post-34620069438529647592009-03-20T15:24:00.000-07:002009-03-20T15:24:00.000-07:00You have a way to write down in a fun and clever w...You have a way to write down in a fun and clever way everything that goes through my head ALOT!
