I miss most of that stuff, but I still find the time to walk around in my underwear and spell out curse words (or use them a little extra when the kids aren't around). Some of the others' disappearances are probably for the best, I guess.

The biggest thing I miss, I think, is the flexibility to do almost whatever we wanted almost whenever we wanted. Now things have to be planned weeks in advance, and planning is not my strong suit.

Maybe its because I have two sons but I still walk around in my underwear on weekend mornings. Its funny too because my two little guys will imitate me, walking around in their underwear...with a girl of the way though, we will see how long this lasts. I also miss:

1. Being able to go out to dinner/move/show any day of the week.
2. Having a complete "do nothing" day on the weekend.

I still take a dump with the door open! My 21 month old girl likes to pull the TP off the roll and bunch it up for me. They we both get to wave "bye bye" when we flush!

I miss the daily backyard pickup sports. Soccer, Football and Baseball were the big three for my crew. When was the last time you played 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 baseball with "pitcher's poison"? Which by the way was also known as "pitcher's paradise" by the more optimistic sallies on the east side of South Willoughby. We usually played with a tennis ball so that we did not kill the windows. We'd alternate between Nerf and real footballs and soccer balls too. Good times.

Nerf used to be THE brand for kid's sports. Now its all about geeks and darts. Oh well. It's only one letter off of nerd.
