Was thinking about this when vacuuming.
1. I miss that after I vacuum the floor it doesn't stay tidy for a good few days like it used to, it's usually dirty again within hours depending on what time of day I vacuum. 2. I miss having my sleep/bed/bath to myself. 3. I miss eating adult food like curries. I could go on but then they get to the usual like money lol ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Love it...I was thinking similiar while cooking....
I miss having the time to try out new and complex receipes that take ages. These days I cook just to simply get something on the table. I miss having the time to worry about what I'm going to wear for the day. |

I miss
1. Having a newborn that will fall asleep on you 2. Having regular facials 3. Being able to pee without a child in the bathroom as they cant be left alone without bawling.... Other than that... All the other things I did when childless I dont particularly miss as I knew it was just a season, so enjoyed it while it lasted!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

OMG forgot that one & even DH calls out to me now while I sneak to the toilet & they all call out & I keep telling them not to yell for me as I can not yell out I am on the loo as I don't want the whole neighbourhood to know, also worried I may forget to shut the door when visitors are here as I am so used to having to have it open  joys

I miss...
1. Finishing things... housework, a cup of tea/coffee, a shower, a sentence. 2. Uninterrupted quality time with DH. 3. Still being pregnant, when she was all mine. 1 and 2 I'll get back eventually. 3 I miss the most because I know I'll never have that time again. -------------

I miss not being able to just take the day off and lay in bed when I'm sick.
I miss the simplicity of life before becoming a mum; and yet I miss my DD every night she goes down to bed and don't get to see her smile again until morning. ------------- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/545141" rel="nofollow">  |

I miss just being able to pick up and do what I want after work and going out for a drink at 10pm after finishing work with workmates and it ending up being an all nighter.
I miss working in hospitality and my social life that came with it. I miss doing dance classes, the hassle of finding a class I can go to and have DD looked after and not having the money as I sacrifice that so we have money for her. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I miss being able to walk out the door and not having to think about packing food/drinks/spare clothes/toys etc. Being spontaneous is I guess what I'm trying to say.
I miss being able to go for a long run or a bike ride without having to organise a babysitter (possibly more to do with the fact that I am a single parent). I miss being able to stay in bed and lounge around when I feel sick. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
