I got very ambitious and with Ben's new job I decided that I needed to unpack the last of the boxes and in order to do that I needed to clean closets and such. So, together Parker and i attacked this project and in the process came across this tape.
Yep, it is the sacred Days of our Lives tape. I picked Parker up and went up stairs and put it in the VCR and watched a little. It was fun! I thought back at my life 8 years ago and where I am at now. And I secretly wished I was that girl who's life was not complete until she watched 'Days.' How I wish that sometimes I didn't have so much responsibility. So much to worry about. So much to do. That I could be carefree and 20.
But....I am happy at where I am at now. I have had a lot of ups and downs. Good decisions and bad decisions. Great friends have come and gone. I am married to a wonderful man and have the most amazing son. I have amazing friends and the most awesome ones I can count on one hand and that is OK with me. My family is wonderful and I am happy.
I still catch 'Days,' on occasion but, was bummed when the Belle and Shawn characters changed and new actors were brought in. I did not like them at all. Its not the same when the characters change!
Anyway, It was good to reminisce.

I often reminisce about the good ol' days when I could take a nap whenever I wanted and wish I would have done it more often :)
i am so glad that I am not the only one that feels that way on occassion. I feel bad for myself for about two minutes, then I look at my two girls and realize that I wouldn't change a thing! My house could use some de-cluttering. Feel free to come over anytime! Love ya!
I think there are a lot of us, including me that feel this way. It is so easy to want the "good old days" again.
The funny part is that whenever I run into an elderly person, they always look at me with all the kids and tell me these are the good old days and to cherish them.
So I think that the good times will forever change as we grow. Before you know it you'll remember the time when you only had one kid and think back to how much fun it was with only one :) We do that now.
This is a great post.
