The things they never tell you about parenting...

Lately I have come to realize something no one told me about becoming a parent. It makes the bad times that much harder. I can't run away from home. I can't quit my job on a whim and live on the beaches of Mexico drinking cheap Tequila I bought with the money I sold selling $1.00 t-shirts for $25.00 to drunken touristas. Yes, I have thought about this. It has always kinda been my Plan B. Things are so crazy and hectic right now, my instincts tell me to run but I can't. I can't because of Kate. I never knew how much this little tiny person would change me. Luckily, not only do
the bad times seem harder but the good times now are amazing! Who knew I could get so much enjoyment playing peek-a-boo on the floor for hours? She is the best thing that ever has happened to me. So I guess that is why instead of packing like I should be doing or getting ready for our garage sale. It is August 5th and I am hunting Halloween costumes on the internet. I can't wait to watch my little toddler going door to door in our new home begging strangers for candy! Oh and the pictures - so many pictures! Here is the costume I found. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!! Jay will never let me spend the money but hey......luckily, he never reads my blog.
