Since the last blog, we have had some SNOW, and boy it was a ton of snow. I could not get over all the inches that blanketed Millington so quickly, twice. To me, there isn't much that is more gorgeous than snow falling in the darkness when everything is quite and still. We didn't do much but hang in the house Saturday and watch it fall. Everyone has stories about all their pets and how they were sinking in the snow and making "yellow snow". Kyla said that there were spots in her yard that Colby would fall into and couldn't get out of. Tucker, Jay's lab, ran back and forth in his back yard until he was exhausted. Grey, on the other hand, didn't like his snow suit at all. He screams when we dress him normally, so getting dressed twice didn't set well with him. We took maybe two pictures outside and that isn't like my Mom at all. All weekend long I was extremely lazy. I just sat around watching the snow fall or watching the television catching up on all the shows I miss when I am busy. Actually, it was relaxing and nice to just be sitting around in my PJ's doing nothing. Getting back to work this morning was hard and we have been extremely busy for about a month now. We can't really complain about it though because everyone is so slow lately and we have picked up. The snow is beautiful and sometimes a lot of fun, but I am so desperately awaiting summer time. I can't hardly wait for pool time!
Here lately, all of my friends have been sharing their realities with me about all of the relationships, kids, dogs, and friends. The stories about the stresses of life all make me thankful for my life and sometimes the lack there of. I am so glad, sometimes, not to have to worry about how I can pay for daycare, who's going to keep my kids, is he cheating on me, should sell my house and move, should I stay or should I go, or all the other ones that come along with being an adult. Don't get me wrong, I would love to get married, buy a house, decorate it, and then start a family. But all the tales of their fights and worries have made me realize that this may be my time to be "Twenty-something". Everyone has said to be a kid as long as you can and I have always wanted to hurry and grow up. I think that maybe I am not ready for really big worries just yet. I love my friends and I always hate it when there are crazy things going on in their lives so I hope they aren't irritated that I'm talking about them now, but I am not feeling as jealous these days. Hopefully, my little life will take off one day and I pray it will be wonderful. Often I am puzzled by all the unhappy people that are together. Why is that? Why do people get together so quickly and why do they stay when there is no love or happiness? I can't understand it and yet I totally get it. People, for the most part, hate change more than anything else and stay out of habit more than necessity. I picked up my sister yesterday and took her to her mommy and while driving home I thought, there has to be more to life than this. She is six years old and probably will never remember her parents being together. Of course I can't say that they should never have gotten married, because I can't imagine my life without her in it. However, it is kind of sad that another family bites the dust. It seems to be harder these days to stay married or in a relationship, or is it? Are we more into ourselves than people used to be? I wonder sometimes if it isn't these times that cause divorce so much as us being painfully selfish. I am just as guilty as anyone else, especially nowadays. It is all about ME. As a matter of fact, it always has been in my life and family. I am a princess and always will be ;) It is possible that we are living in a social experiment that is stuck in fast forward, where everything is done at warp speed and no one stops long enough to even notice. I wish things were simpler for me and other couples that are trying to make it. Maybe we should all just slow down and try not to take one another for granted. So for those of you out there beginning a new relationship, don't jump off a cliff with someone you hardly know. Please try to get to know the person before you fall in love and make a huge mistake. Each day is a gift not a God given right, but we are all so arrogant thinking we can controll everything by playing the devil's game. The devil is of this world, and we are not putting our faith and trust in God so that we can wear his armour. Even with his shield over us we have to love each other. So I suppose we should slow down and try to comprehend that life is passing by quickly and we should love the ones that are worth loving and pitch the ones that aren't.
Until next time, love the one you are with and stay warm......
