I felt like I should post something that is not work related, something a little more uplifting and insightful than my whining about my job. Here we go....

My parents have been in town the last 3 days which is a good thing since I do miss them. I am continually amazed at the different lives we live and yet we are related. I'm pretty sure this is normal and if we were to have children I would expect them to live a different life than I do. Your childhood really does shape you as an adult, whether good or bad it is up to you to make your own life and decisions. It would be so easy to blame all problems on your childhood but that is in the past and over; there is really no point in dwelling on the past. Everyone had difficulty, how you deal is important.

I enjoy having company and I also enjoy when they leave. Pete and I have become very accustomed to living our own life without anyone else to think about; we have become very selfish with our time. It is difficult to share your precious weekend time, that should be spent together, with other people. My cats get a little freaked out with company too, but they are better than they used to be. Now that we have stayed in one place for almost 2 years I think they are starting to develop some security. I know they appreciate staying in one place.

I have always said that I could leave OH tomorrow and not have any problems saying goodbye, that has changed. I have some wonderful friends here and I am so appreciative of all of you. It will be difficult to leave, but that won't be for many years. I hope you all know how much I love you....
