<p>That is so me. I definitely think of myself as a professional mom, which is making the impending empty nest so hard to deal with. Luckily, I have another three years behind, so I won’t be totally out of a job for a while. But with S I’ve been very active in helping him with his EC and knowing that I won’t be doing that anymore has been sad! D had a science test today, so of course I learned all about population density and commensalism and chemical respiration. Tomorrow’s a Latin vocab test, so I can add another twenty-five words to my extensive vocabulary. Monday, I learned a lot about the early English monarchs. I can hold my own in a Simpsons’ trivia contest and know every song on the new Fall Out Boy CD. I used to know every Pokemon! Being a professional mom means having a lot of soon to be useless information crowding your brain.</p>
<p>momwithquestions, Oh I wish I could take credit but it was sent to me as a fwd, fwd, fwd under the heading of Sisterchicks - (I didn’t think that title would be keeping with the Alpha Mom standards, LOL). </p>
<p>I’m really enjoying reading all of these mom and dad stories!!!</p>

<p>One word - Spandex. I rest my case.</p>
<p>Yep - I second the Spandex motion. :eek:</p>
<p>Oops - and tube tops for those with ample…well, you know.</p>
<p>Then again, spandex can also look pretty darn good, too! :D</p>
