One Week

So from today I only have one week left in Roanoke VA. I am very happy to be going home but at the same time I will miss a few things from around here. Some of the people that I met, a few things I get to do, and the view of the mountains. With knowing that I will have all that I just walked away from back makes me feel happy. Part of me thinks this might be selfish, but the other part of me has seen just how lucky to have everything at home that I do. When I gave it all up I didn't know that it was all very important to my everyday life. Seeing how much I had to reshape my life for what I had this summer makes me very thankful that I have all of that. Well then call me selfish if you want but I can't wait to go back home. Plus getting to go home early is going to give me the time that I otherwise would not have had to spend with my family, and friends. So in a week if you want to call me selfish then go for it. But what I am going back to is where I am from and I am very thankful for that. So what ever anyone says about me, I have what I have and that's all that I will need.

Coming Home

So about a week ago I found out that I was going home two weeks earlier than what was planned. With this news I am happy to be finally going home. At the same time I will miss some of the what are everyday things I get to do here. One thing that I am most happy about, I know it should be getting to see my mom, dad and other friends again but, it is getting to have my own car again. I know that seems selfish but I will be able to go places when I want with out having to wait for the car and then when able to go its either to late, or she is to tired and I can't go cause I have to watch the baby. I know that sounds stupid because that is what I am here for but the way that I understood it when I took the job was that when she would be coming home from work I wold get to do what I wanted and not have to be the only one taking care of her child. There are times that I just want to have time for my self and when I do get the car I am going and getting something for her that she doesn't want to go do herself and I have to take the baby or I get to go do what I want to and I have to be back when she wants me back but she never gives me a time limit so I will be in the middle of doing what ever I finally got to do and she is calling and asking me when I will be home and why I'm taking so long. There was this once I was just running to Walmart to pick up a few things that she wanted to and i needed a few things too so I was taking my time trying to relax and I just get in the store and she is calling me asking how much longer I will be. It was kind of like this when we first came but I thought she was just being protective. Well the longer I am here the more stuff she is making me do. It is so bad that she makes me make her coffee and that's what ever cause I have some too, but when its done brewing and she tells me to bring her her cup of coffee so that she doesn't have have to get up. I wouldn't mind if she was doing work when she asked but she is always just checking facebook or watching T.V. When I took this job I didn't know that this is what I was signing up for. I guess this is one of those things that parents tell you, "you don't really  know what you are in store for" again parents do know what they are talking about.
