Vanessa's grouchy insight.

I liked Vanessa's entry on grouchy mornings and here is my response to her question...

I wake up grouchy because i realize that i have another day with the same routine to put in. I prefer to live in my dreams where adventure, love, fear, and randomness can arrive at any moment. I don't like to wake up unless i've had a dream that i can remember...my dreams bring some joy into the morning.

I am a dreamer, always have been, probably always will be. I need to work on not being dissapointed when those dreams don't come true.

let me just tell you, now that i work the same job with the same duties every day, see the same people, etc etc...college is anything but routine! i feel like my life is wrapped up in one week...and that week just keeps repeating itself. man i miss college! (different assignments, dif. books to read, variety of people to see, dif. classes every other day, etc).

Hey, wife and motherdom is the epitome of routine: wipe the same dishes, butts, table, floors. Wash the clothes, dry the clothes, fold the clothes, put away the clothes, put the clothes on the kid, take the clothes off the kid, wash the clothes......blah blah blah....But I know what you mean. I remember a time not so long ago when I was very depressed. Robb had the audacity to preach from Ecclesiastes at the time. I wasn't sure if I wanted to slit my wrists or keep listening. I kept listening and I found that life isn't such a bad go around if you realize from the get go that nothing you want will satisfy you, so you might as well just want what you already have because sooner or later you won't have that either and you'll have to learn to want something else. I think you are doing a great job of that. And you might be grouchy but at least you're cute.
