Thursday Thirteen: Thirteen Things I Thought I'd Never Do
FeeFiFoto posted 6 weeks 2 days ago —
- I thought I'd never allow any child of mine to wander the house dressed only in a diaper but Robey's chubby legs were so darn cute I wanted to gobble him up all the time.
- I thought I'd never spend so much time in the car but, I swear, the moment Robey gets his driver's license, mine is going in the shredder.
- I thought I'd never weigh more than 100 pounds but I do now. My kids owe me a tummy tuck.
- I thought I'd never understand HTML but I still don't.
- I never thought my birthday would come to have less meaning for me, but lately it doesn't seem to matter as much, and it's not just because I'm ::coughcough:: years old.
- I thought I'd never willingly attend school plays or concerts, but I love every one of them.
- I thought I'd never enjoy exercising but with the right entertainment or companion, I still don't.
- I thought I'd never send any child of mine to religious school, but since college I've come to appreciate the importance of being part of a community and I want Robespierre and Cleopatra to understand it too.
- I never thought I wouldn't enjoy shopping but it's become such a burden to navigate the stores; I'd much rather shop online.
- I thought I'd never go camping or skiing but so far I've managed not to.
- I thought we'd never see an African-American president in my lifetime, but yes we could.
- I thought I'd never see my mother pretend breadsticks were tusks, but I underestimated the influence of a grandchild.
- I thought I'd never be so lucky.
