I Want to be a Kid Again!!

Do you remember as a kid how we always wanted to “grow up”?  Wanted to be big.  Wanted to be strong.  Wanted to be on our own.

Yeah I’m thinking I want to be a kid again.  Let mom and dad deal with the problems of the world and I’ll be oblivious!  I want my most important decision of the day to be: Do I want Mac & cheese or a hot dog :).

Ah, that was the life!

Have you ever seen the movie, Legally Blonde?  If so, do you remember the scene where she was busy studying for the LSAT while all her friends were out enjoying Sorority/Fraternity type adventures?  I so felt her pain this weekend!

Hubby invited Earl and her kids over to pick cherries/swim.  At our house, we’ve yet to turn on the AC, partially because we’re being cheap :), but partially, it feels so good to have a breeze blowing through the windows and the smell from the outside coming in!  ah!  That’s the life, however… I heard them all screaming and yelling outside while I was inside studying.  Blech!

Yes, I’m complaining!  Yes, I’m grumbling.  Sorry!  I did stop for a real quick study break though to snap a few photos of them having fun!

Trying to look all innocent!

Marlie was keeping an eye out on them.

Cherry Break

And don’t worry, I got to participate in a little swimming action of my own… although I’m not 100% sure it was my idea!

Have a Happy Monday.  A week from today, I’ll be taking my finals.  I can’t decide if I’m happy or sad about that.  I think I’m a walking contradiction!

  1. Yes! I am always telling my kids they don't realize how good they have it and don't be in such a rush to grow up!

    Glad you got to “swim” too 🙂 hehe

  2. Is it bad that I still love having mac and cheese WITH hot dogs to this day? Because I do! So maybe that still makes me a kid.
    Best of luck on your finals! 🙂
