I have never wished more to be a kid than right now... out of school for a week, FEET of snow to play in, and the luxury of knowing that I had no other care in the world. As a kid in elementary school, you weren't concerned with having to make the days up into June, those were just additional days that you could play with your friends. Even though, I'm alright with the snow coming down, I don't have work days to make up in June this year, but, I still wish I were a kid. I want to bundle up like Rudy (snow suit, hat, mittens, snow boots, etc.) on the Cosby show and play with my neighborhood friends. I want to come in with a red face, runny nose, and frozen fingers and toes. I want to come in, have hot chocolate and watch cartoons. But, at 27 I can't get away with that... 1) all my friends are snowed in at their own homes, 2) being bundled up takes a lot more time now, 3) building a snowman doesn't have the same exciting thrill, and 4) I have school work that needs to be done because eventually I'll have to go back to school. I also can't avoid bills, I can't avoid responsibilities and the expectation is that I will remain on top of all of it.
In a number of months I will be a Mrs. and even though that's exciting, that comes with it's own set of responsibilities. We in theory have a place to live, but do two people need 4 bed rooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms and all that space... although, I would like to shift some space into the kitchen... but, that also comes with a serious mortgage. The life of a grown-up has it's pros and cons, but it's inevitable. So, which one of my super smart friends has finalized their patent on the time machine... I wanna go back to being that Toys'R'us kid, go back to that carefree life and just love life...
