The Mother I Would Have Been Ten Years Ago...
Do you remember your "baby project" days? (Gasp! Get your head out of the gutter, Mommies! I do not mean those days!) The "baby project" I'm referring to is that week-long stretch of time, often during your junior or senior year of high school, when you were forced to carry around a baby/egg/sack of flour in a basket and pretend like it was a true reflection of motherly responsibility? In retrospect, I would love to invite any of those high school kids to come spend a day in my house. Sack of flour in a blanket-coated basket, my hiney!
Anyways, over the weekend, I waxed nostalgic as I flipped through the pages of my senior yearbook and caught a glimpse of my self as a mom, or the mommy I would have been, ten years ago. Errr. Maybe I should rephrase. Take a look for yourself...
Teehee. Nice one, Ashley Paige. Pretty sure you'll get some flack for that one at the reunion. Happy Thursday!

Hahaha!! I love it! And I agree, who ever came up with the idea that baby = egg is a complete moron.
But oh so true. It is stressful many times NOW, so Lord knows what it would have been like then. haha! :)
Haha! I love it. I remember those projects. What a blast from the past!
Haha that's awesome!! I had a pet rock I had to care for in FIFTH grade, but that's it. Ummm, what fifth grader is responsible enough to care for ANYTHING?!
Hahaha, I love it!
Too funny! Luckily, we didn't have to do it.
That cracks me up! Your quote is just So funny!!!
I rememeber that project!! Yes, us mothers can seriously laugh at the bag of flour, now that we are mommies!! The year we did it, we had flour, the next year they got those robotic babies that cried!
Wow....that is too funny!
I think I dropped my egg baby!
Oh my gosh, too funny!
We had the "real" babies that would actually cry, need to be feed and if you let the head snap back it would fail you. I remember hoping I got the bad baby thinking it would be more fun, it wasn't.
Ok I do not think your opinion was that bad...I wonder what kind of dad the kid in my class that ate everyone's cause he got hungry turned out to be?????
Haha! I love it.
Our Catholic high school definitely did not do this. So, I am just practicing my motherhood skills on my dogs :)
