Adult Life

Published by jreader under Uncategorized Edit This

Someday I will be an adult.

Someday I will eat regular meals at regular times that cover all of the food groups instead of combining two easy-to-prepare side dishes (current fav: couscous and microwaved peas).

Someday I won’t need to rely on the chore sheet format in order to get work done before I watch tv or otherwise waste my time.

Someday I will learn to use my inside voice.

Someday I will find grown up shoes that I can comfortably walk in all day.

Someday I will have a set schedule and at least appear to be a morning person.

Someday I will be able to read a map.

Someday I will keep all of my plants alive, not just the desert varieties.

Someday I will feel anywhere near ready to have a child. This may be related to above.

Someday I will feel like the adult that the world sometimes mistakes me for now.

I imagine, however, that Road to El Dorado and ‘your face’ jokes will remain hilarious.
