I was watching a comedian on the Jay Leno show last night. He had a bit about how his wife just loves their kids when he just doesn’t really want anything to do with them. And how she can spend hours upon hours with them, when he locks himself in the bathroom just to get away from his two bundles of joy.

What I don’t find funny is the fact that these parents wanted kids then write a bit about them knowing that other parents would also know of his feelings. Feelings of running away or finding someone to take care of the kids for him if his wife was no longer able to. I really don’t find that funny. But I do sympathize with him.

If I was told by my partner, family, friends and society that having kids is “just what you do” then I would be just as upset as he. Always worn down and not able to concentrate on work, or even your relationship when kids are in the picture. Many comedians get up on stage saying that after they have kids that’s all the relationship is about. There is no more “I” conversations, it’s all “them” references. As selfish as this sounds, I believe there are people out there that really didn’t know they had a choice to not have kids. And I feel for them – I really do.

I have moved many times in my short life. I started my life moving from room to room when I first moved out of my parents house at the beginning of 2001. I loved being independent, eating whatever I wanted and staying out late.

I find myself looking forward to the move for these very same reasons today. I am all for saving money, but my safety is foremost when looking for a room for rent. A single mom and her two teen kids will be taking me in for an affordable price. Plus, I get access to the whole house, which is very rare to find. Some renters have told me that the fridge and the microwave in the room is all I can use other then the bathroom. sheesh

Well, the move will start October 1st and I will spend my first night there on Friday  the 2nd or Saturday the 3rd. My ex boyfriend (who’s apartment I’m moving out of) and I will no longer be talking and I’m free to roam a single lifestyle yet again. I can’t wait!

This is one of the many crushes that you will probably read about. I actually think crushes are innocent, fun and definitely healthy. But this time, this crush is on a coworker.

As bad as that might sound, I actually enjoy going to work just so that I can get a little eye candy. So about him, this guy is a little taller than me, slim, great white smile and he has a cute sense of humor. We’ve laughed a few times and it’s usually about silly light hearted stuff. But I really like looking into his eyes when ever we talk projects.

I am hoping one day to let him in on this little crush – maybe when I get a new job sometime very soon.
