Promises

I looked in the mirror and realized I have become one of those TV makeover people. The before picture.

How did I let this happen?

I promised myself that if I ever became a parent, I would never become Ugly Sweatpants Mom. But there she was, staring back at me from the mirror.

There was a time when I could not imagine myself a mother.
A time when I thought motherhood was wiping up drool and flipping grilled cheese sandwiches with the sound of children’s television programming in the background.

Eventually, thanks to moms like Katie, I decided I’d be one of those moms who took time to ride a mountain bike.

That’s when I promised myself I’d never become Ugly Sweatpants Mom, and I’d never be one of those mothers with nothing to talk about but baby, baby, baby.

Um…

So! How ’bout those Democrats?
