Before and After

So much in life changes when one becomes a parent. So much that sometimes it is hard to remember the old lifestyle. There are a some things I dearly miss, like the flexibility to change plans at the drop of a hat. And I can't remember the last time I saw an R rated movie! I did this quick page as a reminder of how much our lives have changed from the days I like to call "Before Jacob." I don't know if you can read the journaling on this (it is easier to read in real life) so here it is:

Before:
I stayed late a lot at work.
A date meant dinner and a romantic comedy.
House clutter was bills, newspapers and shoes.
Vacation could be anytime of year.
I shopped for clothes and shoes.
Dave was my one and only love.

After:
I have so much to do at home that I leave work as soon as I can.
A night out now means fast food and a PG movie.
House clutter is toys, bills, shoes, boy underwear, school papers and more toys.
Vacation has to happen on school breaks.
I shop for toys and stuff to store toys.
I have both Dave and Jacob to love.
