Do you ever long for a time when life was simpler? I’m not talking about the time before cars or computers or the internet. I’m talking about childhood. You didn’t have to think about what to eat, what to buy, what activities were going to fill your day. Nope, you just were. You enjoyed life as it came and you took joy in the tiny things.

Your biggest worry was if your lawn-mower bubble maker ran out of soap. And that was pretty stressful.

Yup I long for those days sometimes. When I’m trying to file taxes or paying bills or selling insurance when it’s just so sunny outside.

Or when I’m longing for those few extra minutes before getting out of bed.

It would be really nice to just sleep when you want to sleep.

And some mornings, it’s a drag choosing your clothes when you get dressed. Somedays, you just want someone else to do that part for you.

Then again, you could end up dressed like this!

Most of the time I love being an adult. I get to eat what I want when I want. I get to drive a car and go where I want. I don’t have anyone telling me when to brush my teeth, much to Marc’s chagrin. And I make more money than I did as a kid. I mean, I don’t have to beg and plead and dress up like a pink bunny to get some candy every now and then.

I suppose life all has it’s trades and growing up ain’t so bad. After all, I can drink so much more coffee now than when I was a wee one.

And caffeine is fun because it makes you type really really fast and with hands that you just can’t believe how fast you can type, resulting in an incredibly long sentence that you blame on your vibrating vision, and well it’s only been 3 or 4 cups and really how bad can it be?

…. in my case, quite bad…..
