Are mommies suppose to change?

I was talking to a friend the other day and she was telling me how she was spending the weekend at the spa. I thought to myself that sounds nice. I remember when…

Then on the way home Friday from work I was listening to my favorite old school radio station and they were playing my old house music and I was grooving. I begin thinking to myself I sure would like to go to a club that plays house music and dance on the dance floor while I drink me a beer or some type of mixed drink. Again I thought to myself I remember when…

Because I am a new mommy should I shake off my old ways? Should I no longer like to party, to drink, or to want to spend some time by myself?

My cousin had a birthday party at the bowling alley two weekends ago and I wasn’t able to go because I didn’t have a babysitter for KoKo. Would it have been ok to find a babysitter and go to my cousin’s party? I haven’t missed one of her birthday party events since she began having them a few years ago. I really wanted to go to. Am I no longer suppose to have these urges now that I am a mommy?

What is appropriate mommy behavior anyway?  Before I had KoKo mothers would always tell me what a great experience motherhood is but they never told me they miss the time before the kids came.

Is is wrong that I am missing my remember when moments?
