Occasionally when my children are at their fathers I think about how much I love those little boys. (Okay so its almost all I think about when they are at their fathers house.) I do enjoy my alone time from them though. Its a chance for me to just spend on myself, recenter my thoughts and feelings, and plan for the next two weeks of events that I can do with them. Especially now that its summer and I can do a lot more with them. I am really enjoying being out of school and all the time that I get with them. :) However I am still looking forward to going back to school because I can't wait to see what I have to learn, and research the different areas and learn as much as possible. I am hopeful that this semester as it will be my first semester in the program that I might be able to pull off straight A's. I have in all of my classes my absolutely best friend. (Yes girl, as I know you will be reading this, it is a shout out to you for being . . . Wait for it. . . Legend - - -- AIRY!!) I'm confident that together because we have awesome kids that are so close in age it will make for some very interesting study sessions. And much needed Mommy Time while the kids go and play in their rooms.
Usually though on the weekends I find that I have too much time to myself. It's not a time that I want to spend doing the mundane tasks of dishes, laundry, vacuuming etc. (Actually I don't like to do that even when the kids are home, I don't want to do it at all. So to humor myself, sometimes I plain just don't, and allow the house to become a little messy. Afterall there are more important things in life than having a clean house, and since it doesn't bother me or the kids when there are a few toys scattered from last nights imaginary play, we go on with life.) I spend the weekends with girl friends. Going to movies, out to nice restaurants for a drink which always takes hours to sip down as we talk about anything under and OVER the moon. Remember afterall I have fallen in love with science, and one of the coolest things to discuss is the universe because it is so unknown to us all. That to me is my adult imagination time. Trying to understand what it is, the shape and where possibly if ever does it stop. How much matter is it made of. Looking at it from the big perspective the Earth is merely a spec of dust in the small amount of space that we have discovered. What will happen to us all now that we are completely destroying our spec of dust? We certainly do not have the technology or resources to relocate ANYONE (not the rich, poor, educated or uneducated) to a different location in space where we could possibly sustain life. Good thoughts with my awesome friends.
I read a quote a while ago that said if you reduced the fraction of time humans have spent on the earth to the age of the earth that in the 60 some years old the earth has been, all of human life has only been around for 4 hours and we have destroyed in those 4 hours over 50% of the forests. In the next couple of decades (yes divisible by 10 years!) our Carbon Dioxide will have tripled because of the rate we are cutting down trees. Such a sad thing to think of. When will any government listen to the scientists to know what damage we are causing and know that this life is not sustainable?!
