I want to be about six years old again. Ugh.
Most days, I'm largely up for the challenge of being a grown-up. I try do it with as much panache as I can, and generally enjoy myself. I've become excellent at compartmentalization. Today, not so much.

I'm having one of those standard-level crappy days. I'm also pretty sure my neighbor heard me throw a cursing tantrum in the garage when I chucked a bag of trash in the can, and the bag handle caught my car keys and flung them into the can, where they landed at the very bottom under bags of stench (I cleaned out the freezer yesterday.) After I shouted, "you stupid m@therf##r!" at the bag of trash, I realized my crabby neighbor lady was in her driveway.

Not sure whether I'm more embarrassed or amused. Wtg, Lara. Wtg.

1. I am with you, there are days I would like to be a kid again.
After this last year of being the responsible one I would like to run away.

Nothing like a few curse words to relief the stress.

Just take a break when you can, and escape.

:hug:

4. Absolutely.
I have been waiting for our ice and snow to at least largely melt so I can start running again. I think I need the outlet! :)

9. I like to take pictures.
I do like riding my bike, and fishing at the bayou.

We all need to escape from time to time.

2. I hear that cursing at inanimate objects
is a sign of above average intellect. At least that's what the voices in my head tell me....

5. Good. Because I am notorious for it.
It's better than yelling at, throwing, or kicking people, right?

:rofl:

Yelling, throwing and kicking people means job security for me...:)

8. You can be paid to do this?
Are you working as a bus driver?

6. I think so. You're pretty blissfully unaware of a lot.
Although you're potentially prone to pants-wetting still, at that age. So it's a trade-off.
