DAYUM she looks good!
I’m wearing a spit-up stained shirt and she looks like she borrowed JLo’s stylist. And those shoes, OMG those SHOES!
She's a grown up!
Woo hoo, I get to talk to a grown up. I don’t have to use my baby voice or spoon feed her lunch. Best of all, I don’t have to change her diaper because she's potty trained.
Focus, focus!
Mommy brain has me all discombobulated! I want to enjoy the chisme she’s bringin’, but I keep thinking about my kids and what I need to do next.
She's probably having so much more sex than me
I remember when I used to have sex, that’s how I got these kids, but now I’m too tired to have sex. I'm sure her sex life is all exciting. Details, I need details!
She has such a great social life
I don’t do anything that isn’t kid-related anymore. Most of the time I don’t miss it, but now that she’s bring up all these fun things she does I feel so uninteresting.
Did she just tell me she's tired?
She has no idea what tired means. I thought I knew what tired was and then I had kids.
Why doesn’t she ask me about my kids?
Doesn’t she care about my kids? I mean I ask her about her cat and I don’t give a flying chancla about that bag of fleas she calls her fur baby, but I'm lookin' at pictures of him.
Why won’t she stop talking about my kids?
OK, I wanted her to ask about my kids so I brought them up, but now she won’t shut up about them. How about we talk about something else? I’m tired of everything always being about the kids.
Is it rude to nap?
I’m having a great time, but a nap would be so nice right now. For reals. I wonder if she would want to take a nap with me? Probably not. Time for more cafecito, then.
I’m so lucky to have her
Amigas are awesome and amigas that stick with your through life’s changes are EVERYTHING.
