You know you're an adult when...
I feel like as the days go by I realize how old I am. When a weekend comes and you get to stay home and clean, get laundry done and cook a good meal, and you're happy about it, you know you're an adult. Or OLD as some would put it. Right now I am fine with that. I am fine with being "old."
I used to thrive on having plans. Feel left out if I didn't have something going on. I would get so bored. But the older I get, the more I wan to be home. Today I have no where to go until 5:30. And, even then it's dropping my kids off somewhere. Which is something I can send the hubby to do.
Back in the day, when I was young, a messy (not dirty, just toys and stuff out) it did not bug that much. But the older I get, the more I want order and structure in my life. I wish I had a room to myself. A haven where no one else is allowed to be. Where I can come and go as I please and it stays neat and tidy. But since that is not the case, I will thrive on these days where I get to sit and do nothing but clean and get caught up.
Although I do get that time flies and my kids are growing up every second of every day. Time is ticking by every so quickly. I try to enjoy the moments I am given. This whole "having a high school-er next year" thing is hitting me hard. I can't believe this moment is here already. I feel crazy, happy, sad, disappointed, silly, weird, depressed, joyful and so many other emotions all at the same time. I am ever so thankful for the life I am able to live and try to enjoy it. So, on days like today, enjoying cleaning seems reasonable :)
Have a great weekend, no matter what you are doing. Enjoy yourself and enjoy the moments, big and small.
