So...are you now singin along with Bobby McFerrin?
I remember this song being the ultimate memory from the WHS senior cruise to the Bahamas.
Good Times.
Circa 1988.
Anywho...I've been pondering my future lately.
Thanks to one of my precious children....who shall remain un-named.
Seems I have one child who stated recently, "Mom, you need to be married before I graduate."
Wow. Really? Not something I had thought of.
But it made me ponder and question my expectations.
Do I need to be? Nooooooo.
Do I want to be? eh....maybe, but i'm certainly not gonna put a finishline on it.
What my children do not envision in their mind is their mother is on an adventure of sorts.
Ok for now its an adventure in my mind. Play along...its my blog.
Moving us to a house I picked for us and making it our home has been somewhat of an adventure. Do they realize I lived at home til age 23?
Don't knock it til you've tried it.
I always wished I had lived on my own in my early twenties.
But 40 is the new 20 right? Ha ha
Family fun growing up in my parents house was well worth the extra years.
This home is for them. When they're graduated and moved on in their lives...home will be where ever I cook their favorite meal, share stories, confidences and love with them. I'm thinking condo. No Maintenance. No yardwork. Life's too short to worry about mowing the yard, only to end up on the couch because I pulled something. By golly dang, if I'm gonna pull something it better be while cliff diving in Hawaii or ziplining in Costa Rica or jump off the high jump at Vortex Springs.
I mean a girl can have dreams right? :)
For now, I'm workin on adjusting to what I am expected to do with my free time when the "teenagers" are busy havin a social life. I can't always be expected to be invited along.
I mean seriously?? What was I thinking?? ha ha
In the beginning of my new status, I took it the wrong way.
Maybe the children don't want to hang around me?
How fun are you worrying about everything as it unfolds?
More than ever, I realize what amazing children they are.
They deserve happiness. They deserve to have fun with their friends.
When they leave or make plans with someone other than me...
it doesnt mean they love me any less. Atleast that's what I tell myself.
They're just growing up. Independence is approaching them.
Well more so for one than the other...but he'll be there before I know it.
It's Thursday evening....
What adventure is waiting for you?
Make every moment count.
"Don't Worry. Be Happy"
