Hi, I'm Gretchen
And I used to think I was cool. I went to cool shows, with my cool friends. I wore cool clothes, and sipped cool cocktails the bartender invented especially for me, because I was cool... until THIS happened to me.
I'm not cool anymore. I get excited about things like Superstar taking a two hour nap or graduating to underpants. I wear comfortable shoes, if I wear shoes at all. I carry the kind of giant bags that ensure the success of the chiropractics industry. I cry at the slightest display of tenderness or sentimentality on TV, or worse, in one of those emails promising a special thing will happen if you forward it to six friends.
The shows are few and far between, the clothes no longer fit, and the bar scene has been exchanged for the playground. Now I'm just a mom... and it's the coolest thing ever.
