Okay... I want to be a kid again

My childhood wasnt nearly as bad as I thought it was when I was in my teens. Back then I couldn't wait to grow up and be on my own....Freedom, Independence.... Boy, was I an idiot? I had the good life back then. No bills, little responsibility. It was a piece of cake. Now I will say, I was a teenage mother determined to graduate (with honors, I must add) while juggling an internship at a local law firm, so my plate was quite full. But I couldn't wait to do it all on my own. To show the world I could do it.
Here it is years later and Congratulations Heather you are obtaining your goals. Some goals have changed along the way and I am sure that I will change my paths in life but I am happy with where I am.
BUT........ Is it really all it's cracked up to be. Life isn't getting easier with age as I thought it would be. Between my wonderful kids, my darling husband, my dog, the housework, the bills, doctor appoinments, grocery shopping (and the list goes on and on and :( on.), I never have moments rest. I would love to be in my old neighborhood playing hide n seek or catching lightning bugs with neighborhood kids. AAAAH to be a kid again. So when this feeling of longing to be a child again overwhelms me I go play with my kids. I try to tell them, as my parents did me, to take their time growing up. But they don't believe me the same way I didn't believe my parents.
