One More Day

Have you ever thought how sad it is to wish away your time? You only have so much time on this planet and on the grand scheme of things we as humans don't really have that much time at all. I am always counting down the days until the weekend. Counting down for two days that I can be the boss of myself. Counting down until I don't have to set my alarm clock for 6:30. Even when I'm not counting down until the weekend I'm waiting on lunch to get here, then waiting for 5 to get here so I can go home. Then when I'm at the gym, I am forever watching the timer on the treadmill watching the minutes count down from 60.

While I've been sitting here waiting for the clock to move faster towards 5 o'clock I had the realization that our society is filled to the brim with people waiting to punch out and head home. To spend time with their families or friends. To be in charge of themselves. It takes so much out of you as a person to worry about what others are thinking of you, do they know I'm working hard, do they think that I am just waiting for the bell. These habits start when children are so young. As soon as we are taught to read a clock we have our eyes on it waiting for a different time.

I need to focus that energy on something else. I have had this realization and I need to do something different. Find better uses for my time. So that is a new goal today!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines. I got to spend the day driving with my two Valentines. Dukie made a trip with us to visit my parents and go to an appointment. We did some shopping. I had lots of fun but I always do when I get to spend money :) My husband, A, bought me finger nail polish for my gift. He did so good. I love Essie products, they really seem to last longer on the nail. Plus they have a new line of glitter polishes and A picked out the pink glitter and it looks awesome. I love it and it will definatley last longer than any old flowers. Although I would have loved flowers too! A doesn't really like holiday too much, or recieving gifts for that matter so I didn't buy him anything. I made him a handmade Valentine and gave him the go ahead to buy a fiberglass repair kit....I don't know?!?! If my baby's gotta have it, I guess he's gotta have it:)

Dukie didn't recieve a Valentine's gift either this year. She is not feeling well. She doesn't seem to have much of an appetite for most things she would normally eat. Like her dog food or even an egg. She shivers and is very lethargic. We are starting to think she is protesting her food because we didn't buy her something different last time and we've had some kind of wild weather changes lately so hopefully she will be back to her ornery little self soon!

Until Next Time,
