What I have learned this week...
Thursday, January 7, 2010
I had a talk with myself (yes this happens often and no I don't want to talk about it)a few weeks ago and decided that I would make a commitment to writing more often. As you can see, life got in the way once again. It's not that I lack discipline, it's just that when I finally do get home at the end of the day, I am exhausted. Trying to figure out to eat dinner or not takes the last bit I have in me. But regardless, I will make the effort. I must.
So here is what I have to share with the world on my inconsequential musings about life and all the reasons why I want to jab forks in other people's foreheads.
What I learned:
1. When I feel that people aren't listening, they often are and I get myself into trouble. Really? Now you choose to listen to what I have to say when what I just said was inappropriate??
2. Family is there to tell you the things you hate to say out loud. I made a huge mistake last year by choosing to put up with the person I was in a relationship with. I suppose I ignored much of the bad behavior because my everyday life was difficult and exhausting. I know that I should have ended it sooner. I know that we were very ill matched. I now know the extent to which my family despised him and the extent in which they supported me even when the thought I was making a mistake.
3. Children are sponges. While the rest of you may not think this is something big, I do. Mainly for the reason that I have never really been around them nor did I ever really want to be. But I now know that they will tattle on you faster than you can find a way to bribe them. Careful around those little spies!
4. Puppies are fun when they are not yours. I love dogs and animals in general. But they are exhausting and annoying much of the time. I will admit I do enjoy watching them torment other people since I am not responsible for said puppy.
5. Just because you plan and want something, doesn't mean when you get it you will be happy. Often times getting something means giving up something. Right now I am having a hard time giving up the something to get the something. I know, I know, speaking in riddles is annoying.
6. Sledding is fun at any age. Over Christmas, I put on my ski pant and grabbed the toboggan (and metal ironing board) to go sledding down the driveway. We were mature about it. We put the child to bed and had fun at one in the morning doing nothing more than pushing each other down on the ice.
I hope that I can maintain a commitment to writing on a regular basis, if not only to just keep my sanity by talking to someone other than the cats or houseplants. We are safe, neither answer back to my questions yet!
