I used to be so chill and relaxed about stuff like that. Maybe b/c I was overwhelmed by pregnancy and kids? Or, am I just getting more controlling now that I can? Perhaps I am holding on to the few small things I can still control b/c I am feeling like they are growing up too fast? I think I have spent so many years now (going on 12) either anticipating pregnancy, pregnant, nursing, and chasing 2yo's that I don't know what to do with myself now that I am rapidly closing that door. Am I going crazy?
Don't get me wrong...when I am not mourning over another pair of outgrown baby shoes, I am giddy with the idea of not having to swap kids to volunteer in the classroom, or eventually going out on a date without paying a babysitter (only 2 more years!), or eating lunch with a girl friend, during a (gasp) WEEKDAY, but I still feel like I am losing a bit of my identity now that I am "done"!
So is it midlife crisis? Is it no more baby blues? Or am I just going crazy?

Oh, your totally crazy, for sure:) I'm not quite there yet, Autumn isn't one yet, but I am starting to feel like I should have a new goal. I am thinking about working part time, or taking some classes. I don't want to feel like I'm not working or doing something creative. I weird to be out of the baby game. Each outfit she outgrows I donate, each baby toy goes to someone else. I am purging all of this stuff and it pulls at the heart strings.
As for the controlling stuff, I think you are just enjoying some free time and having fun having little girls. I say do it up, sew it up and enjoy while they still want you to put bows in their hair.
You are great. I wish you lived close so we could talk over these things in person.
You crack me up Chels! I love all of the dos and hair accessories!
