The Now vs. Then Meme (Sunday Stealing)

Cheers to all us thieves!

Sunday Stealing: Janana's Now Vs. Then Meme
It's been a while since we had to post rules. But here we will list the relevent ones:

*Think back to ten years ago on this month.
*Write truthful answers and ELABORATE. This makes it more interesting!
*If you don't have a scanner you may omit #14 but I think if you do you should totally do it!
*It's about personal changes. Have fun with it!

11. Where did I live: hubby's house

12. Dumbest thing I did that year: I spent too much time at work that I left my youngest kid (born that year) to the care of her nanny... I wonder if that was the reason why she didn't recognize me as her Mom on her first birthday. What do you think?
