Did you ever wake up one morning and wonder when did I grow up?
This happens to me very often and it happened again the other day...While buying some coffee mugs for myself I began to wonder when I became this women who got excited about mugs for her house, who starts fusing if you leave your dirty dishes laying out, who makes honey-do list for her honey when he wakes up... and then nags at him till he get's it done, who is planning meals in my head when I go to the grocery store instead of just buying junk food, seriously... when did I grow up?
I never thought I would be the women I am today... at all. In fact, if you would have told me this
5 years ago I would have laughed in your face. Because, all those things I just mentioned above I kind of enjoy (well expect for the fusing and nagging) but I like buying mugs for my house, and planning meals, I enjoy doing laundry (expect for putting the clothes away), and I am really excited about teaching myself to quilt this year. Now, don't get me wrong- being grown up does have it's down sides.. bills, bills, bills, o, yeah and not getting enough sleep (can't forget that one) but really all those times I saw my mother cleaning, cooking meals, and working outside in the yard I use to think- I don't want to grow up and be like that. I don't want to have to spend my "fun" money on decor for the house and cleaning supplies. But to be honest I feel accomplished for all the things I do in a day for our house and for my family. I guess my point is, being a grown up isn't so bad. You actually get to buy beautiful things like my flea market goblets which are circa 1940's...
and these mugs from Anthropologie just makes me so happy every time I take a sip out of them
