My wonderful husband brought home a cold to me
I truly love that man but that is one gift he could have kept to himself
Life here in rural Georgia still is slow and the farmers are getting ready to plow the fields
The weather is in the fifty’s here so a sweater just about all you need to wear
Tax season is upon us now
Most families have four seasons and mine has five
winter tax spring summer and fall seasons
Life is quiet now and I know that there is a season for everything in my life
A perplexed parent resigns and becomes a child again.
I hereby tender my resignation as an adult. I have decided to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year old again.
I want to go to McDonnald's and think that it's a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks.
I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.
I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.
I want to live simply again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.
So....here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements.
I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause, "Tag! You're It."
