Wow. I am just not doing so hot at keeping up with my blog!
School is out next week. Yikes. Things have been crazy as usual. I had a TON of extra work this last month, which I am very grateful for, but which kept me stressed out pretty much non-stop! I'm glad it's over but now...school is letting out. Augh!
Last night I went to my sister's chorus concert for high school. My old high school. I haven't stepped foot on that campus since I graduated 12 years ago. (yikes, 12 years!) But really, why would you go back once you've graduated right? Anyway... Being back there was TOTALLY weird for me. Brought back lots of memories, not all of them good. High school was not a good time for me. And I just felt so old! The lockers are all gone, replaced by picnic tables since they stopped having open lunch. There are new sidewalks where there used to be grass, new buildings even! Gates EVERYWHERE. The school is practically a prison. I was surprised I didn't see barbed wire and a crow's nest with an armed guard. Even the trees were all bigger! Anyway, it's just strange to think that so much time has passed. I saw the place where I got a flower for Valentine's Day from this guy I didn't feel the same way for. The place where all my friends and I used to gather in between classes. The place where I argued with an ex-boyfriend and he screamed obscenities at me and then punched a door... The memories were everywhere, good and bad. I'm glad that time in my life is over, but at the same time, I wish I could go back, relive it and do things differently.
I always think of blog topics at random times, just never get around to actually writing about them. Let's hope I can get my act together and entertain everybody with my random daily musings this summer.

"I'm glad that time in my life is over, but at the same time, I wish I could go back, relive it and do things differently." ~~~~ that was said perfectly and exactly how i felt. I was always in such a hurry to get out of there. I wish i had taken the time to enjoy high school.
I am the same age as you and I can't believe its 12 years either!
I don't have any regrets, because if one thing was different, I wouldn't be me...
I've been missing your ramdom musings Christy! You are taking too many quizzes on facebook and not writing on your blog as much!!!!:):) J/K!!!!!:)
I totally agree about High School! It wasn't my favorite either! High School is just such an akward(sp?) time. I'm glad it's over!!!:) But I also think it would be interesting to go back and do things differently...like get better grades...not that I was a bad student but I could have been better!:) I'm sure we all feel that way about a lot of things!
I was wondering if you fell off the blogging wagon. Glad your back. Keep it up.
AHH, High School. Hated it! However, you sound like you are ready to hit up a reunion!
Wow, I can so relate to that. Going back to the high school is such a trip. Good times and bad. I also agree about "blog topics" in my head. If I could only remember them long enough to get them written down. My memory has gotten so bad, especially after this last kid!
Yes! More daily musings please. :) Great post. :)
