Life

I really need to get back into this.  This is actually kind of fun and since I don't feel like updating Facebook with all my random and stupid ideas, this could be a good place to do it.  I really should be going to bed since I have to get up around 3:30 but this sounded a little more fun.  Plus I'm also debating if I should read a little from my book but that could be dangerous since I stayed up until 2 the other night reading a different book.  So life has been interesting lately.  I realized that it is about a month until I move again... Yay... okay not really... I'm excited for my own room but the packing, cleaning, saying goodbye... no bueno!  But other than that things are going pretty well.  I've decided having two jobs is not my favorite.  It's much easier to work 8 hours straight than to have a 2 hour break because at the end of the break, I never want to go to my second job... Oh well I guess that is a problem that I'll have to deal with.  So I really have no idea where this is going and I'm pretty much rambling but I just felt like I needed to post something.  Maybe in the future I'll have more meaningful things to say.  Oh... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGGERS!!! My little sis turned 18 yesterday and it's weird to think she'll be moving out soon... well that means I'm old!  But I better go to bed or at least get closer than I am now.

Hmmm....

So I was looking at this and realized it has been awhile since I posted and was wondering if I even should continue posting because I don't know how many people actually care about what I have to write... Maybe I should follow my sister's idea and do an update of what has happened during the week for my familia and make it private... I don't know.  But on the plus side, my little sister got married yesterday and it was a beautiful day for them!!! She looked lovely and so happy.  Rick looked pretty happy too!!!  And I finally have two little brothers :)  Congrats to Jess and Rick and hopefully they will have many more adventures together!

Generation Gap?

So things here lately have been very interesting to watch.  I always knew they were happening but lately they seem to be taking on a new light.  I always knew that since I was the oldest, things would be very different by the time my brother left the house.  I guess I thought that as my siblings got older, there would be less "baby sitting" to do.  Boy was I wrong!!!

Even now as I am writing this, things are radically different from the time that I was in high school.  I remember having a bed time (usually about 9pm) where I had to be in my room and then I would read until the lights had to be out at 10pm.  I never resented that because I recognized that it helped me be successful in school.  I knew it wouldn't last forever and there wasn't much I was missing out on since my siblings usually had to be to bed by 8:30pm.

Fast forward five years, and my brother is still out with my dad who is playing basketball, my mom is at a meeting, my sisters are still not in bed and still have homework to do for tomorrow.  Did I miss something here?  I love having siblings that are older since they seem to be a lot funnier in general and can do a few more things but seriously... not in bed at 10pm.  This proves that there truly is a generation gap, even between siblings that are five years apart.  I wonder what will happen in the next five years.
