Thursday, July 05, 2007 I have recently spent a week with my parents and we had a great time. Just talking and spending that time together. I enjoy my family, a lot. I am close to my parents and my sister, Grace. We all have such different senses of humor that putting us together is often hysterical. Mom and I spent a lot more time together this time than normal, which was cool. We discussed the local gossip, watched her soaps, and even a couple movies. We have the same interests as far as tv goes, so that is cool. While talking about something we were watching, the conversation turned to marriage and children. I don't even remember how it came out, exactly, but there was a comment about me "choosing to stay single". I know that she meant well, but I hate it when my Mom tells me "you're not the settling type". I know, deep down, that she was complimenting me for my independence, but... it kind of stung. On one hand, I agree with her. I'm not going to settle for anything less than what I want. But, the way that she meant it was that I'm not the "settling down type" because it always comes up when she is asking about my love life or telling me about the millionth person who is having a baby or some kids barely 18 who are getting married. Mom just laughs when remind her that its hard enough to get to know who I am as an adult, let along without tying myself to another person who is insecure with who they are. It's not that I don't want to be married one day, but ONLY to the right One. I have no desire to be one of these people who get divorced so many times they don't remember their maiden name. Nor do I want to be one of these married people who cease to exist once the vows are repeated. Why do some people still see their validation in having a husband or a wife? (Oh wait that's a whole other rant on its own!) I have plenty of time, I'm only 27. I'm educated, able to pay my own bills, and have a good head on my shoulders. When I want to, I go out on dates. When I don't, I don't feel guilty for spending time with others that I enjoy (friends and co-workers). And, believe it or not, when I get lonely I have a few that I could call, if I wanted, and they would be here before I could hang up the phone. But that's not what I want, I want something more. But I only want it with the right One. I'm in no hurry. Sometimes I feel sad because I haven't met Him yet, or because everyone is having babies and my clock ticks a bit. But that is why I have this job, I have four babies to take care of that adore me, and I love them. The best part of it though, is that when I need to I can leave them behind with the staff and go swimming! LOL For now, that works. :) Besides, I love love love this quote:  Labels: Dear Diary, rants
