I haven't been having much fun, lately...

By that, I mean, I haven't been having much fun on my own. It feels like all I've done for the past 4 weeks is work, mother, clean and sleep. Oh, and spend money on necessities, like milk and vegetables. I had some fun this morning: I took my girl out for a walk, and then for some good, clean fun at the batting cages. She's a slugger, that's for sure. And the rest of the day was spent at my mother's house; cutting up cardboard boxes to use for an alien/robot costume, helping her change into about a billion different princess costumes, and showing her how to program her Favorites links on the computer. We went to Chapters as always, and spent some time reading, and stepping purposely on each other's feet without getting bawled out for misbehaving in public.

But, I've been wanting something different lately. A chance to meet up with some old friends, opportunities to get together for some good afterwork gossip. I also want to find a good book and just loose myself in it. I long to watch a movie that is not just G rated. I want extra money to burn away, irresposibly, and I want to flirt wildly with a certain someone I'm sure will be out tonight. I guess, I just want to get away, even if it's for one evening: I want everything I cannot have.

All good things to those who wait, I guess.

You're a mom, for sure. Be sure to make time for you.. no one else is going to do it. You sound like a GREAT mom - and a great daughter too.
