Today was a fine day. School was pretty easy, I took a nap, watched Boy Meets World, ate some junk food (I haven't eaten that much in a while...I'll definitely be paying the consequences for that). Babysitting Kayla was fine. But all of the things that babysitting includes now just make me crazy. I literally had to pick Alex up from work today. I would never complain to her face, but I have to complain to SOMEONE -- it looks like all of those people who read this will have the pleasure of hearing my complaints. But I don't even have much to say, to be honest. I just want it to be over. I don't want to have to babysit a 10 year old AND a 27 year old. Is that so much to ask?
On my way home, I had a few choices. I could either go home and mope while pretending to do homework, or I could go to the Young Women activity, which just happened to be ice skating at Southglenn. I was about to go home, but something inside of me told me to not be a loser, and made me swerve across the 3 lanes of traffic and go to the ice rink. It was the best thing I could have possibly done. As soon as I saw all of my favorite friends laughing on the ice, I knew I was in the right place. That sounds cheesy, but I'm serious. For whatever reason, everyone was determined to get me to fall on the ice. Daniel, Bobby, Ben, and Will were literally trying to shove me over. It was so hilarious. Skating as fast as I could in circles and laughing with my friends -- now, that is just the kind of therapy I needed. I am so thankful for my friends. I am even more thankful for the truth that brought me to know these people.
Life is good; sometimes you just need to peel back the top layers to find the good stuff.
