Get a Life

Not to long ago, the words “Get a Life” where thrown at me (it’s been a crappy month). Hello?! Excuse me…but what exactly is your point of view on “getting a life?” Answer: Going to school, earning a paycheck, living in society. End of argument there. I’m not going there. I’ve been there and I never win the battle. Not when it comes from someone who never set foot on a homestead or on a farm. And by “setting foot” I mean living it!

Fast forward to today, complete boredom set in. Only the little ones were home, no housework to do, it rained almost all day, so no outside work, fridge is stocked, cabinets are stocked, freezer is full, don’t need to cook any more for a while. Nothing to do, but start winter knitting or clean the little one’s bedroom. I started the socks! After a while, sitting idle got to me. I’m bored with my book, was tired of knitting in circles and the longer I sat, the more I thought about that conversation. So out of sheer curiosity, boredom and a weird thing I have for looking up things that refuse to leave my head, I googled “getting a life”. The first link was here. I won’t share the thoughts that ran through my head when the page came up, but feel free to use your imagination…
