Why didn't I think of a list???)<br /><br />Here's my favorite idiotic thing I do post-motherhood, involving Internet shopping: I hear about a book I've GOT to read, I order it from Amazon and then it becomes another in the tower of books I've ordered, bought, searched for, teetering around my bedroom but never gotten around to reading.Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298701075110623658.post-14999091562435225972010-05-13T19:53:12.403-06:002010-05-13T19:53:12.403-06:00I wonder what mommies of yore did before internet ...I wonder what mommies of yore did before internet shopping!<br /><br />I recall life before children.

And I don't blame you for not trusting her. Trust ME when I say a little "push" down the stairs is reform school time. I had an older sister and believe me, she didn't try to kill me.<br /><br />As for your lists of before and after (which I always get such a kick out of) been there, done that. Nothing is more surprising to a new mother than to realize how much you love that tiny helpless baby.

Aside from item one on your pre-Mommyhood list I would have all your items on my list, added to which would be going for a hike, impossible with a toddler who after walking 100 yds says plaintively "carry you?". Also getting on a plane and just going somewhere for a weekend, with little to no luggage and lots of expectations of a fun/cultural/foodie weekend ahead. Fast forward to planning any trip being like planning a military operation and only being able to go to a restaurant that has "caynons" and mac & cheese.
