I'm glad that we're not alone in the whole stupid elf thing, and Disney not really being the "Happiest Place on Earth" for everyone. :) I love that -- we ARE totally lucky despite everything else. That everything else felt so insurmountable close to this time last year, but now I can see more of the benefits and plus sides (along with the gut wrenching moments). I do love my sleep, and today was real difficult getting to school at 7:00 after a week of sleeping in!

I bet there's some things on here that could totally happen even if you have kids! :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-81561166702414307222018-02-26T17:39:36.078-08:002018-02-26T17:39:36.078-08:00Ha!

Yes, having loads of friends with school age children, and a Pinterest feed that seems to think I also have children, that stupid Leprechaun Trap shows up a surprising amount. And yeah, #37 is one of my favorites, too. <br /><br />Oh, the real estate ones -- so many things wide open now! You're so right about the school district thing. If we were to move we have so many more options available that we may not have considered before because of possible children. And OH YES to the carpool line! Oh man! Those are terrible. <br /><br />Here's to your adventure, too!

So yeah, woooo to adult things pretty much whenever! :) We lost so much, but this list helps ease that. There are some serious silver linings here!

And I am way with you on ...This is an awesome list. And I am way with you on things like Disney and Elf on a shelf. I hadn’t ever heard of the damn elf until my oldest kids were older so we escaped that nonsense, oh man I just can’t with the elf. And Disney sounds like a nightmare I won’t be living, too.<br />Lol to the poor-decision-making tool description of snap chat. As of kids need help making poor decisions....adults, too for that matter.<br />I am glad to see your humor come through in your list...and I am very, very jealous of the sleeping in one. I can’t wven convey how much. <br />You and Bryce are so very lucky despite everything else.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987444437659867827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-29791117990325996512018-02-25T08:20:22.225-08:002018-02-25T08:20:22.225-08:00I'll admit it.

I hope it's okay if I comment on the ones that especially resonate with me, which might make for a slightly lengthy comment...<br /><br />#2- I always joke about this with my husband. When we are out I'll often say something like, "Well we better get home. We don't want to keep the babysitter waiting!" It entertains me.<br />#9, 10 and others- Money stresses me out. I don't have much savings to begin with so the idea of paying for daycare, a car (maybe?), college/trade school... =automatic stress<br />#13- yes!! I won't have to be around other parents that suck.<br />#37- love this one<br />#63- I had to look this one up. I like crafts but that is ridiculous.<br />#64- hate this crap. I don't want a narc in my house.<br />#77- I only recently realized how I can easily be 15 years older than other parents hahaha.<br /><br />And for myself:<br />*Since my husband and I are moving out of state, we won't have to consider school districts or the quality of schools when we move.<br />*I will never have to wait in an after school carpool line!!!<br /><br />Your ending is the best: "It's a great life. It's going to be such an adventure."Infertile Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11033358612204465661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-1143605659156214312018-02-22T17:51:30.950-08:002018-02-22T17:51:30.950-08:00Is it ok that this list totally makes me laugh?
