vapor

I miss high school. I miss big groups of friends and looking like a babe in cute little cheerleading outfits and I miss classes and learning at an acceptable rate and I miss laughing and dancing and flirting and living and loving and wasting the only pennies you have on dumb things like frostys or american eagle jeans. I miss weeks of ease and weekends where we did something every night other than sleep. I miss energy and spirit and personality. I miss clubs and activities and singing and running and acting and being on teams. I miss boyfriends when they were new and simple and only good. I miss being dependent and having food and getting spoiled with done laundry and washed dishes. I miss walking through each hour of the day as a big group of people: invincible together. In some ways, I even miss hating drama! And I miss college: high school with privileges.

Well put. Last night we had 2 other young families over and the party was over by 8:30. Being a parent can put a damper on late night social life. I miss all the energy of high school but I am discovering that being a parent lets you live youth again in a way :) Life has highs and lows no matter what phase you're in! Miss you and our crazy times!
