Body surfing ! Looked awesome but all I ever did was roll on the bottom. Just couldn't get the hang of it.

Having kids. People do not tell you how hard it really is, or they do and you don't believe them. Parenthood is awesome and a nightmare at the same time. In the end it's worth it, but I've never cried so much in my life. I never sat in my rocking chair with my hair curled, make-up done, in my perfectly cleaned house, with my quiet baby. The reality was, I hadn't showered since I didn't know when, I stubbed my toe on all the stuff on the floor, baby has colic and I'm trying not to barf because it's early and the first diaper of the morning was running down the baby's leg. I stink, but I can't shower because the baby screams. I would go to the store, buy stuff and go home. Hubby would ask me what was for dinner, I'd tell him I didn't know because I didn't remember what I bought. Parenthood seems amazing, it's not, then it's amazing again. All in under an hour.

The struggle is when you have a newborn all the way through the toddler stages. I find those to be the most hellish times of my life, I barely sleep as it is. But as soon as they start school, everything starts to become gravy.

A good primer for promiscuous teens, Dragonfly. May they read and be forewarned.

Sounds exactly like my firstborn experience - I thought what the hell have I done! . I cried so much I think my husband thought I was going to have a breakdown. I got one good nights sleep and that's because I was so tired I passed out on the bed without having time to put the sheets on it I had just washed- and didn't wake until 8 hours later . A bomb could have gone off and I would have slept through it. I have never slept that deeply before or since .

Cocaine.

Or maybe it never seemed awesome, I'm not sure. The Wolf of Wall Street made it look awesome.
