On Friday my sister and mom met me for lunch at work while they were on school vacation (they are both teachers). Not to rag on teachers, but although they both have weeks of vacation a year, holidays and an ENTIRE SUMMER OFF, they still bitch about having to go back to work after vacation! Oy vey! I love you teachers though :-)
Anyway, after lunch they were going to go get a manicure. My sister was heading to dinner that weekend with her boyfriend to celebrate 3 years together, and my mom said to me "Jeff told Lauren to get her nails done before dinner."
Little sissy and her boo
My mind immediately was like, oh really now? really? Is she getting engaged? Fortunately my mom was joking.
My sister Lauren, though 16 months younger than me with 4 years less time with her boyfriend than I, is about 10 million steps ahead of me in life. I don't like to compare myself with other relationships, but i feel like i am on the fast track to no children, no ring, no wedding. Okay maybe I'm dramatic.
Lauren and her boyfriend are currently in the process of building their first house. Her boyfriend Jeff is a big time hunter, so they got about 29 acres of land in Rhode Island that he's also able to use as a simultaneous hunting ground. Poor Bambi :-(
DA LAND!
some of it….
Might I also mention, Jeff has two nephews…a 5 year old and a 7 month year old, so she's getting all the practice with holding little babies, changing poopy diapers, teaching them things and listening to sing-a-longs. We went to visit them last weekend to see the land and the kids…gooooood LORD I fell in love with the little munchkins! I haven't held a baby in over 10 years! (Dead serious.)
Look at those baby blues!
So needless to say, I've felt a little off! Not that I am not enjoying my life as is, with no worrying about mortgages or whether I want homemade or jarred baby food, but it did get me thinking.
Anyway, I just felt like spewing this out to get it off my chest!
I am excited to see the house building process
And see the amount of animal heads that will be creepin' from the walls
