Look at us now...

The other day I was walking with some of my best girlfriends and I took a step back and started laughing at the picture we made.  We were a heard of 4 ladies, 3 of whom were pushing strollers, one lady pushing a stroller is pregnant and we have a toddler bouncing along after us.  I made everyone stop and look at us and I asked if anyone would have bet money a year (or so) ago that this would be what our sassy lady bunch was look going to look like in a year.  We would have never guessed it would be this.  When did we all grow up?  When did our days off change from laying out at the beach and boozing it up to chores, running errands, and feeling complete if we managed to get all of the laundry washed AND folded. **Oh what a victorious feeling** Not that any of us would trade places with our younger selves...there is something to be said about the wisdom that aging brings, but it seems as if this all happened over night.  When did all of my girlfriends become wives and mothers?  When did it become impossible to get together a group of friends last minute for happy hour?  When did a simple over night vacation turn into a circus full of strollers, bouncy chairs, blinky toys, and 8pm bed times?  Oh life, you sneaky little bastard you :)
