Hello my friends!
I have a question for you...
Have you ever wanted to escape to life?
You know, escape to living or feeling alive? Like escaping to a luxury hotel for the weekend and watching the kids swim while you enjoy a cocktail. Taking pictures of their laughter and innocent fun - making a memory...
That's where I am right now.
We finally received our "payment plan" to the IRS...blahhhh - ughhhhhh. Can I just write that Obama's new tax bracket for those people that make over $250,000 completely and totally BLOWS big green donkey (fill in the blank)! Another way to get the middle class to PAY FOR EVERYONE ELSE'S TAX BURDENS!
I digress...
Well? we haven't finished or put our house on the market yet. I was hoping that I would find the house that I couldn't live without and it would prompt me to action, but it has not happened yet. (there IS one house...I hope it waits for me...)
Anyway, back to my subject for this post...escaping to life...
I come to work everyday. I sit in this big office all by my lonesome with very little interaction with people throughout my days. Even when I am sitting through another meeting there is still little interaction. Day in and day out my routine and my life is basically isolated in the "what can I do for everyone else" mentality.
I love my job and the money I make - NOT complaining! But, what has gotten to me lately is the fact that I feel like I am trapped in a situation where I KNOW it could be better!
I have three beautiful children, Mr. Strong and the perfect job, but all of these together are not filling the "life" gap that I am experiencing.
Why am I complaining when I am so blessed, you ask?
Well because sometimes (like now) I feel that I should be living more. I feel that my life shouldn't only consist of work, mommy will you bring me this, mommy will you take me here, honey did you pay that or filling my weekends with laundry & housework; it should also consist of weekend getaways, picnics and all the stuff that memories are made of...right?
I mean, we dont' take pictures and remember the chores, or the isolation or the cancellations because of work - we look back and remember the times and events we enjoyed and experienced in between!
I don't know...maybe I'm having a moment, or maybe I want to have more moments. I just have to hold on to hope that there is more life and living to do out there!
Going through the motions and being fully consumed with a life consisting of work, chauffeuring, cooking, cleaning, and laundry - repeat - is NOT living at all.
My 1 year blogiversary is coming up! June 9th!
ONE YEAR!!!!!
I don't know how I've almost made it through this first year, but I can tell you all that change is coming!
Dun-ta-duhhhh!
Change for the better...absolutely inspiring...change for life!
Thank you all for sticking with me.
I'm going to escape to life!!!!!!
