Now, I'm the last person to say that dealing with kid toys, accidental turds, pet barf, lost keys,  missing cell phones and all the other daily activities are not exciting. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to imply that I am bored.  I'm talking about the other exciting things that come for some, not all, women (and men) out there.

I'm talking about fancy dresses. Hair, nails, handbags. I'm talking vacation house getaways with the kids. I'm talking pretty woman fantasies where your man buys a dress he thinks would look beautiful on you...that dream-world crap.

Of course we all want a vacation but would you want that Brangelina lifestyle? Ok, bad example...they actually live part of every lifestyle. Or maybe that's the exciting part.

Anyway, I just hate to think sometimes that I spent my 20s and 30s in sweats and didn't have the chance to get out there and live it up. Maybe that's where, as wildmom mentioned before, the mid-life crisis starts...simultaneously realizing  that your boobs are starting to sag and oh, low and behold, you never wore a cocktail dress while they were still perky!

Life, it'll get you every time!
