Baby Boom!

I don’t know what is in the water, but every time I turn around someone I know is pregnant. Whether it’s a woman I know personally, or someone famous, everyone seems to be pregnant. It’s funny because the economy and stuff is so bad, yet there are so many kids being born. I guess not everyone is struggling. It’s just so strange to me. No matter how bad the times are, I’m always happy when babies are born.

I love babies! I think babies are all that’s right in this world. They are so perfect and innocent. At least for about a year! Then they start figuring things out and they are no longer so innocent! LOL! Although I don’t smoke, I’m raising a few Gurkha cigars to all the proud new parents out there. I wish your all a blessed life with happy and healthy babies!

Some Place In The Middle

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to moving closer to my Goddaughter. Although she lives about 2.5 hours away, I really only see her a few times every year. Sometimes I miss her so much that I can’t stand it! I’m not sure how close I would like to live to her, but I know for sure that I don’t want to live in her exact town. There are two reasons for that. First off, when I get away from my family I want some time to enjoy life without seeing someone every day, so I don’t want to be too close to anyone. Secondly, she lives in a very rural town.

I don’t have anything against rural living, but since I don’t drive that can be an issue. And unless I can find something similar to title loans Louisiana in that state, I don’t think I can afford to get a car right now. Hopefully I can find a great place in between where I live now and where my Goddaughter lives. That would be an ideal solution to my dilemma.

Mommy’s Home

My mom has been out of work for a few weeks now, and surprisingly she hasn’t been getting on my nerves. I’ve actually enjoyed having her here. She’s even been waiting on me a lot. Making me tea every day. You can’t beat that. And of course I get to tease her every day about not having a job. She finds me hilarious, of course. Although she loves being home, I’m sure she misses working. And of course she misses her weekly paycheck.

One thing she doesn’t miss is doing so much laundry. When she’s working she has to wash her work clothing and at-home clothing, so there is always so much to wash. Although she doesn’t have to wear traditional nurses uniforms all the time, she does have a lot of stuff she wears just for work. But yeah, I think I’ll be sad if/when she goes back to work.

Fear of Riding

I have a secret that I’m almost ashamed to admit. Want to know what it is? I’m in my late twenties and I still don’t know how to ride a bike. Sad, huh? I tried learning when I was younger, but that didn’t end so well. My mother let me go before I was ready and I crashed into a fence. Needless to say, not only was I extremely embarrassed, I was also shaken pretty bad. I never got on a bike again after that day. Pathetic, I know.

My mom was kind of disappointed too because my $100 bike stayed in a corner in our basement (we didn’t have Yakima bike racks) for about a year until she finally gave it to my cousin. I don’t have a bucket list yet, but when I do make one I’ll definitely add “learn to ride a bike to it.” It’s about time to face this fear!
