I've been thinking a lot about my childhood. How when you're a kid, you don't even know there is a "weight of the world". Life is purely about what happens between waking up and going to sleep. Nothing further. Not about whether or not you can afford those shoes and can't remember if you paid for health insurance this month. Nothing bad can happen to you because your parents are a forcefield..nothing gets past mom & dad. No worries. There are no worries. The things you cry over are why you couldn't walk to Allison's house to play after you didn't eat your carrots. Or your rabbit dying. Or because you DON'T WANT TO WEAR PANTYHOSE UNDER YOUR MAJORETTE COSTUME TO MARCH IN THE CHRISTMAS PARADE, DANGIT!!!
So anyway... I'm on this little journey of change in my life. Change in a lot of areas. Or maybe just one or two areas that affect the other areas, I don't know. Whatever it is, it has me thinking of stuff from my childhood and since you obviously have nothing better to do than sit there reading this, I guess I'll share. But just in list form. So I don't get all detailed and/or mushy and/or depressed and/or whatever.
The list:
Chef Boyardee Spaghetti O's with Meatballs OR Totino's Party Pizza and Ritz Crackers on a tv tray sitting on the green couch beside my brother at Grandmother Margaret's house on Saturday nights watching Hee-Haw, Solid Gold, Lawrence Welk, Mandrell Sisters, TJ Hooker, Hunter, Whatever-Ice-Capade-Happened-To-Be-On-At-The-Moment, and maybe some other tv shows I can't remember...
And this is what I meant by list instead of detailed description. Whatever. The moment passed and I'm done with it for now. Sorry. My Y key is not cooperating and I have to retype every word with a Y in it. That sentence took a while.
I know there's another tv show I'm forgetting... Maybe it'll come to me later.
