I left work really early today and picked up Dylan. So now I'm home and I'm probably going to read my new book for a while, then I'll probably play Sims or something.
I had to go to the store after work to get some things and they already had tons of Valentine's Day candy on display. I bought my most favorite candy...Cinnamon Hearts. Yum! Dylan bought some uber sour warheads and the usual chocolate milk.
Tomorrow I turn 30. I didn't think it would happen so soon. I don't feel any older than I was ten years ago and I pretty much look the same, well except for those few pesky gray hairs that appeared upon my head. At least they can't really be seen. Yet.
Of course, I could end up aging ten years in my sleep tonight.
When I was a kid, I expected my life to be much different than it is now. I expected to look older and be somewhat wiser or something like that. I haven't done all the things I had wanted to do by now. Sheesh, I had at least thought I would have been finished with school, but now I'm starting over again and it feels like I won't be done with the whole thing for a long time. I am making more money than I expected, so I guess that's one good thing. Of course, making half of what I make now was a lot to me back then.
I never thought about being a mom back then either. It's weird but most people I knew as a kid or a teen were always talking about how they wanted to get married and have a kid. They would talk about what they would name their children and all that crap. I never did. Then somehow I ended up getting married and having a child way before most of the others. Of course getting married wasn't a very wise choice on my part, but I thought I was in love. Silly me. My son was born several months before our second year anniversary. That changed a lot of things between Wayne and myself, and most weren't good. Wayne is just too selfish and controlling of a person.
Quite possibly, my misery in this past decade is what made the years pass much faster. I do have to admit that most of my days were spent sleeping, when I wasn't at work that is. Having depression for the greater part of the past ten years has not helped things much. Perhaps if I had spent the past decade with the right person and doing the right things, then I would have been able to say that time had passed much slower and I would have been happy. Very few things in my life bring me happiness now...my son, my best friend, and my animals are all I have that I truly enjoy.
I'm off work tomorrow and I really haven't planned to do anything except the usual reading or playing games. Some people were going out tonight, but I just cringe at the thought of going to some loud, crowded, smoke filled place full of drunken idiots. Staying home is *much* more appealing to me right now.

Take the What Should Your New Year's Resolution Be? Quiz
Umm...okay.
Anyhoo, I don't really make resolutions because I always break them. I think that resolutions are only out there so we will break them and then feel all guilty about it.
