Before I was a mommy...
I smoked too much
I painted myself silver and pranced around the house in leather hot pants
I thought of myself
alot
I could out drink a man that out weighed me by 150+ pounds and then when he passed out in my backyard... I could find a way to drag him in and lay him on the sofa
I thought I was free to be who I was and who I wanted
I wore big boots and dark lipstick
I sang loudly and didn't care who heard
I made my boyfriend the happiest man on earth
I made my boyfriend miserable and crazy
I was a size 4
I drank too much pepsi and watched too much tv
I wasn't perfect.
But now, now things are different...
Of course I'm still not perfect
I drink too much cherry coke and cherish my quiet time
I'm a size 6
I make my husband completely insane
I make my husband the happiest man on earth
I sing loudly with my daughter and hope everyone hears the joy
I wear big boots but seldom have time for lipstick
I am free to be who I am... that's all I want to be
I'm an easy drunk, 2 martinis and I just want to curl up and snooze... but first I can carry my girl to bed and tuck her in with sweet dreams
I think of my daughter, and then myself, and my husband
alot
I play dress up with my daughter and make special teas just for us
I blog into the wee hours of the night... and then again in the morning.

teehee... i like then "then and now" way you've written this
beautiful!
Love it. It feels better in the now, I think :)
Sining loudly gets my vote.
The Pickle and I dance anywhere we feel like dancing, standing in the queue at a supermarket, as I drop her off at school, wherever! It's part of her OCD hee hee hee.
