how we change...

I remember when I was younger I HATED going shopping with my mom. I thought it was the worst thing I'd ever had to experience, but now whenever I go home to visit my mom I look forward to our shopping trips and now I love going shopping with my mom.

I was a royal pain in the a**!
I was a pretty good little kid, 99% of the time, and in my early teens but in my late teens, 16-19 I was a pain, once I told my mother I was going out for about an hour, this was at 9 pm, and then didn't wander in til 2 AM! oh my poor mother!, my dad was out of town on business that day, she was worried sick!
but don't feel too bad for her, she was not one to stand around wringing her hands saying oh my! when I got home, she let me have it, in front of my boyfriend! she all but kicked my a**(and I deserved it LOL)
once she found a baggie... another time, I wandered in at 4 AM, but I was older then, about 22 and just visiting, had left my boyfriend, and was temporaily staying there, went out with friends... even being older, they were both still MAD! If I had told them, but they were waiting for me and I never even called! I walked in and my dad woke up, came to the door and was mad, but mostly scared, he let me know just what he thought of my insensitive behavior!

at 23 I was single again, and thru the next several years my dad always called me alot, I hated it, now I wish he was here to call and bug me! I miss his calls and him SO MUCH!!

I was a pretty easy going, and even shy as a kid, and from my mid 20's, I got more outspoken and more so with every year, even ill tempered at times, , so I went form a quiet kid to a loud mouthed adult! I have really let some people have it! cashiers, or whoever, if they pissed me off.. I would just let go! the last few years I have quieted down again... maybe I am mellowing with age??? hmm

I have to admit though, every now and then it just feels good to let someone have it... am I the only one that feels that way?
then there are times I later think oh I SHOULD have told that person... oh well!
