I used to get to take a shower by myself and shave my legs very good, now I have a two year old that likes to open the sliding glass shower door and ask me, "What are you doing, Mom", or say "Want Shower, Mom" or "Want soap, Mom." and I am lucky to get one calf shaved.
Michelle K. Aug 26, 2007, 12:12am EDT
I used to think that Curious George was my brother and the rubber ball I tied a string around and walked up and down the street was my dog and I was woefully deprived because my parents would not provide me with either and every kid needed both, now I have three sons and white carpet and I know that is just not true.

I used to be able to do everything for myself and didn't like to ask for help but now I need a little help to get through most days and while I still don't like to ask for help, at least I will ask sometimes.
Teresa W. Aug 26, 2007, 2:49am EDT
I used to be unable to cry unless I was in overwhelming pain but now I am more in touch with my emotions and am able to cry like a normal person.
