Remember when?

I hope you remembered to wish the junior boss a Happy Birthday from me. Funnily enough 20 years ago I was living and working in London too as a Nanny! MInd you I was only 2 at the time...honest! xxxxx

Scared of going to preschool....I was just turning 5 lol.

Can't remember, nothing as beautiful as the birth of a child happened then.

20 years ago, I should imagine I was at school as I would have only been 8 years old! I don't remember much from then. However, I do remember when I was 7 because that hurricane that "definitely wasn't going to happen" happened on my 7th birthday and I'm sure Mum still sent us to school.

Wow, p1key, what memories you're causing to rise to the surface!!! I think I was just about to get married for the second time! I've told you about him, you remember, the gorgeous Syrian sculptor. Those disappearing eyes...when he smiled...black hair, pale eyes, a face to die for. Oh yeah, that's right, he was the one who loved to say "you people", and "what you wanna smoke that sheet for". He was also the one I threw out after 2 months and 14 days! Let's just say there were too many cultural differences and that I was entirely tooooo much of a truly liberated American woman for him, and he was entirely tooooo Syrian for me. Ah well, it was an experience I chalked up to experience. And five years later, I met my "real" husband, and we're coming up on our 14th anniversary. SOME things I get right.......... Happy Birthday to the daughter!!!!! Man, 20 is such an age to be! I wish her all the happiness in the world, but you know that already, don't you? I can't wait to hear about how your day went yesterday! Oh, and my back is so bad, I can't even get into the shower, so I'm gonna look horrible today, sorry. Not much I can do about it though. I've just got to wait it out, I guess. That, and take my vicodin at regular intervals. Which reminds me, I've got to do that. I'll see you later, my sweet friend.

I was having a dream pregnancy just to give birth to a nightmare son! LOL Actually, my youngest is ok now, but oh what handful he was until he turned 20! LOL Happy Birthday to your lovely daughter, you proud Papa you! Let her eat cake! ROFL

Well, 20 years ago I was only 14. So it is safe to say I was probably in school or at home doing fixing supper,doing my chores and homework. Daydreaming away about boys..lol

20 years ago I was young and restless...and...20 years ago my daughter was 9 years old... Happy Birthday to your daughter....

I was in a situation much like yours. My son will be 20 on March 11, so needless to say 20 years ago to this day I was more than ready to push the little bugger out.I also was just days away from breaking up with his biological person, because I found out that he had another girl knocked up too and she also was waiting expectantly. Not my cup of tea, so I packed my things and left and I think my son and I were better off for it. So 20 years ago? I was wondering what my feet looked like.

I was trying to get out of a very bad marriage with 3 kids. It wasn't easy as I found myself pregnant on (go figure) expired birthcontrol that I'd just purchased! Bad times and yet now when I look back what I remember most is the birth of that little surprise girl. The love that I felt despite the circumstances can't be described.

Hi p1ke, twenty years ago I was married and had a 3 and 4yr old, they are now 25 and 26 my 25yr old daughter now has a 5yr old son so will let you guess my age!! lol hugs littleowl

Happy Birthday to your daughter! I hope she had a great day. 20 years ago I was 15, and although I'm not sure what I was doing to the day, if it was a week day then I was probably at school. Some good memories and some bad, I wouldn't really like those days back. Like you say too, I'm happier being older.

I don't remember exactly but probably i was working on some paperworks for my boss then who is a City Councilor. I used to be a secretary to a City Councilor, 20 years ago with 2 girls because i got pregnant with my youngest at the age of 35.

Well I'm only 21 so I would have been in diapers then :) Happy birthday to your daughter

twenty years ago im 26 ..i guess im pregnant with my youngest daughter and about to graduate at the same time my four year course in college..and during this time my hubby give me a graduation present (a watch) and still in good condition...

Well, 20 years ago I was 9 years old, so I would guess I had a pretty ordinary day in 4th grade. It probably involved a stupid spat over a spelling test and a slightly insane (read: neurotic) "gifted program" class. Happy Belated Birthday to your daughter1 And Happy Fatherhood Anniversary to you!

happy birthday to your daughter pike.gosh time goes fast.my daughter will be 19 this year,hard to believe.well 20 years ago i had a life.lol.partying and having fun,going to work,going out and generally doing what we all did in our 20's and early 30's.wow how that changes when you have children.i would not change anything for the world,as soon as you have them they grow up so fast and start having their own families/cheers sue

20 years ago today I was 34, my youngest son had turned 4 mos old and my eldest was 16 months old. I had my hands full with two beautiful baby boys! I most likely spent the day on the floor playing with the older boy or in the rocker reading to both of them then cleaning and cooking while they napped. It was as close to paradise as I'll probably ever come before I die. Isn't it strange to think of your child as that precious little bundle and then look at her now? I always think of mine as grinning, laughing little boys with sparkling eyes and sweet kisses and hugs.

It was a Wednesday, so I was most likely at work. I was supervising a small department at a Mortgage Banking firm at the time and there were some transitions in the department and right around this time, I recall covering some things for a person who had just left. Not too exciting. Best wishes to your daughter!

I was living in a car. Would be until the early winter when my mother would give me back to my dad in New York. We were a few blocks off the beach in San Diego, so to kill time I would walk down to the beach and play in the tide pools. At not yet 14, I couldn't really work but a few folks would put me to an honest days work for an honest days pay. I'd give some to my mother and step-dad but not all or even half. I saved mine so I'd have it to get food when they had run through the rest. I was likely hang out at this really neat Greek place. I loved the smell of it. They gave me a meal free from time to time so I would help when I could... for free. I think they are the ones who taught me a lesson I still use today. You don't keep track of who does what... you just share what you can. No "I did this" or "You didn't do that" Wow, what a place you took me to. I'm not sure if it hurts a bit or if I am glad I've come so far from then. This was an interesting topic. I'm not sure if this is where you meant for me to go but it's where I ended up. Happy Birthday to your daughter.
