I guess after being a parent for 4 years I've become slightly jaded and resentful of the people in my generation. I honestly couldn't comprehend what it would feel like to just wake up in the morning and do whatever I want, whenever I want. Being able to go back to bed. What is the meaning of this? I don't...I just don't understand. The only day I overheard a couple girls sitting behind me in the cafeteria complain and bitch about how bored they were. One of the girls expressed her distress over not having anything to do for the rest of the day. I listened to this with seething jealousy as I rushed to finish my research outline that was due in 15 minutes. I hadn't had time to finish it the night before because my daughter had decided that 11:30PM was a good time to stage a sleep protest. Anyway, don't get me wrong. I'm not calling my generation lazy, I just have been feeling increasingly out of touch with it.
Today I'm going to act like a 23 year old college student.
I'm going to enjoy this insane weather and enjoy my brilliant friends. Today I'm going to do what makes me happy.
....and if I should happen to walk past some roses, you had better believe I am going to stop and smell them!
We were young, darling
We don't have no control
We're out of control
