Running around like a chicken...

I guess part of growing up is giving up those relaxing days where you waste the whole day with a book or having a movie marathon. Each weekend seems to be busier and busier than the last, and with the wedding FAST approaching there doesn't seem to be any promise of slowing down.
I can't imagine what our schedule will be like once we have kids. (Kudos to all you parents out there who manage it ALL).

Somedays I feel like we are playing house. Being grown up seems so sureal to me. The bills, the mortgage, the 9 to 5 (okay more like 7:00 to 3:30) job. Commuting to work each day, grocery shopping, clipping coupns, cooking & cleaning. Am I really old enough to be grown up? I miss the days where the parents paid the mortgage, and put the food on the table and even most of the clothes on your back. The other day I had an over whelming yearning for "back to school shopping". New pencils, new books, new clothes. Everything felt so new! And the beginning of the school year brought the opportunity for things to be a little different then the last school year. Yes, you heard me, and I thought I would never say this...but those were the good days!

Being grown up has it's privledges...like I get to spend every night with my soon to be hubby! I have my own house!!! I can go to bed when I want to (although I find myself in bed at 9:00pm and I would never have done than as a teenager). So, here I am playing house...I think that it may be a sure sign of what I want to be when I grow up.
