rebellious teenager...
Sep. 3rd, 2015 08:33 pmEvery once in a while I find myself feeling young-er again! Tonight is one of those nights. And of course, am wasting away on the internet. I finished clearing the kitchen in the evening. N cleaned up the apartment. I finished a load of laundry. All in anticipation that we will have another dragged out night of getting D to bed. But she slept off an hour ago, without a fight. N took in-laws to an IMAX movie way over by the airport. And I am actually home alone with all quiet and peace.... really stumped about what to do. Sure I could read my book. But really oh so tempting to do something silly....... he he hehe...
It reminds me of days of yester-decades, when dad would travel and it was a mini-vacation for mom. The rules relaxed and sis and I would watch TV shows you know blasphemous shows like Friends, and Beverly Hills 90210 (!!!), when mom was awake whereas we would stay up after dad slept off to watch TV! OH yes, we were BIG troublemakers!! As if dad couldn't hear us or something in the next room - he was a light sleeper and had insomnia!!! Our curfew would be a little later as sis and I promised to be together and be back together. Silly things really... And every time here in adulthood, when I get those moments alone, it takes me back to those times.
I miss my sister. I wish she was here and we would sneak in some TV, for good times sake!! But I am adult, and I will be catching up on work I couldn't get done today as we were visiting school, etc. sigh. adult-hood. why did we create such a world?! (No complaints though... I do enjoy my work! But you know...the apartment is QUIET!)
