No...time...to...blog...
Ugh, children. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I love being single more. I am so exhausted at the end of each day that I fall into bed at nine. But while my body is tired, my mind has no clue what an early bedtime is. So I lie there. And then the alarm rings at six ("alarm" is code name for "baby" and "ring" is code for "hollering"). Let it be known: I am suddenly happy to be single. Men, stay away! You only get girls pregnant and that is unacceptable. I am happy to be able to lay in bed till 9:00 am if I want. I am happy going to bed at 2:00 am, watching X-Files till late and making midnight Taco Bell runs (because that is what next semester is going to be full of. Woot!) I am happy spending an hour on my hair and makeup each morning. Yes, I know. It will be different when the children are mine. True, but these things won't be differnt: naptimes, bedtimes, mealtimes. These things don't change. Neither do dirty diapers and baths and boo boos and complaining about me not letting them watch TV. So, I am single, and proud. At nineteen, I should be.
i agree with you 100%! oddly enough, i've been thinking the exact same thing these past few weeks! i've been thinking that we have to enjoy these years because these are years that we will never get back and we need to make the best of them NOW! i can't wait for you to come home so we can enjoy the single years together! :) love you!
ReplyDeleteThat's so true... enjoy it. I thought I'd get married and and 1 yr later have a little one... but we're going on 4 years in June and this time we have just the two of us is so great. Not that I'm not looking forward to the time when a little Jeff's walkin around- I'll love that too... but it's so important to enjoy each stage of life instead of always wanting to be the next step ahead!
ReplyDeletehaha. Loved that post. Funny enough, I was married and trying to get pregnant at 19. Different strokes for different folks. Love you!
ReplyDeleteAmen woman, amen. And I'll give you a double woot on the Taco Bell runs :) Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it! We waited 5 years to have kids for that very reason. Naptime and the fact that kids need twice as much sleep as adults is a genius, genius thing. Without naptime, I'm pretty sure all mom's would be selling their kids on the black market. Or at least they would never shower, cook, or get anything done.
ReplyDeleteyou'd freakin' better not get married...
