Last night at dinner Reilly finished her food and claimed that she was still "starving". Before I knew it the whole "You don't know what starving is" speech started pouring out of my mouth. Seriously?! Did I really just say that. I'm having a conversation inside my head, screaming 'Stop it, stop it right now', but I couldn't. It's like one of those things that just takes on a life of it's own, like I had no power over it. I hated that speech when I was younger and I can't believe I'm giving it now. I'm getting disgusted with myself as each second passes but I somehow refuse to stop the commentary until I'm done. Am I really there already, doing so much of what I swore I'd never do? What's next, the "the door stays open 'til the room's clean" speech? (You really had to be a Sorensen to fully appreciate that one. Man, parenthood is really creeping up on me. I always thought I'd be such a cool mom, but as each year passes I realize it's just not going to happen. I guess there are worse things though, right?!

You should write a book, girl! You are so funny :) BTW, you're not the only one to do the 'I'll never do that to my kids' kind of stuff. I swore I'd never embarrass my kids like my mom did to me. Not only do I embarrass them, I think it's funny!
Happy Birthday Emily! I just read Wendy's blog and saw your adorable pictures! You Sorensen girls had some great photos taken back in the day! BTW I find myself being the same kind of mom I thought I would never be too! Something just takes over!
I have conversations like that more than I'll ever admit. arg.
