Sometimes, I Miss My Old Life. April 1, 2009
Posted by Emily in : Memory Lane, Parenthood , 2commentsSometimes, when I feel like I’m nothing more than a nose wiping, diaper changing, mouth feeding mama, I miss my my old bridal store.
But just a little bit . . .
I certainly don’t miss working every Saturday, 12 hour shifts during the busy season (January though April), irresponsible employees, crazy brides, alteration issues, or back-ordered dresses.
But, I do miss getting dressed up, socializing with new people every day, working hard and getting a paycheck for it, designing dresses, traveling to China (needing a Hong Kong shopping fix about now!), and mapping out and executing new floor sets. I also miss seeing my store at night after it’s closed, when it’s dark, and quiet, and clean, with over 50 mannequins looking so ethereal.
I do miss that stuff.
