I've felt the same thing about always waiting for the next stage of life. Right now I'm waiting for my youngest to start middle school (about one more year) so all three kids will be on the same schedule.

I love reading your pieces and agree with this one especially :~D<br /><br />I do feel like a) sometimes I'm waiting to start living properly and b) that I'm in a crazy social experiment testing my limits. Almost ALL THE TIME. <br /><br />Seriously, I'm thinking Trumnan Show Scale here. Who knows, maybe they just roll by a scene of clouds when I think I'm flying and the plane stays still. Maybe this is all the Matrix?! You see how fragile my sense of reality is? It doesn't really help that my Human Congition Lecturer openly admits to having no idea what is real and what is not. He goes out of his way to prove that the mind can so easily distort reality *shivers*<br /><br />Also, you adopted a bat? Dude thats unbelievably awesome!!

I'd have been so snippy. I tend to make stuff up on the fly, so if some lady felt she needed to scold me about my daughter, I'd have said something like, "These are her only shoes. We're quite poor. I'll buy better ones if you give us some money."<br /><br />Christine - Sadly, I think I cracked long ago. Luckily, the pieces of me trudge on.<br /><br />Anne - "you wake up and you're dead." - I TOTALLY want to do that! And I'll never have the one thing on earth I've always wanted.<br /><br />Matthew - It's not SO honest.

Waiting for something that is quite possibly intangible is like waiting for death. You keep waiting and hoping and the months turn into years and the years turn into decades and one day you wake up and you're dead, and you never recieved the one thing on earth that you always always wanted. <br /><br />That's what I'm waiting for.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179540938463830608.post-39381336988232364962010-04-20T06:00:24.554-05:002010-04-20T06:00:24.554-05:00Very moving and you are so honest.
