I wish I could go back to simpler times.
When I didn't have to worry about what time it was and when I need to feed the Squid next.
When I didn't have to worry about keeping an entire house clean, but only a room.
When I wasn't changing diapers and clothing (Squid's and mine) constantly.
When I didn't have to juggle a wiggly baby.
When I didn't have to worry about how much food I am producing.
When I could go to the bathroom exactly when I need instead of waiting until Squid is content.
When love was young and innocent and silly.
When I only had to pack for one instead of two.
When there were inside jokes.
When I only needed my keys, wallet, phone, pants.
When I had a job that I loved and looked forward to.
When there were movie nights.
When there were spontaneous hang outs.
When there was The Chronicles of Starnia.
When there were friends who were my age.
When those friends were going through the same thing I was.
When I could call someone up and immediately jump in the car and go hang out.
When I didn't have to constantly worry about money.
When I could be a kid even though I was a teenager because I didn't care.
When I didn't have to wonder who my friends were.
When there was always a furry happy pup waiting for me at home.
When friends would call up and say, "Let's go do something!" and I could.
When I didn't have to pack a diaper bag before leaving the house.
When my arms, shoulders, and back didn't hurt all the time.
When we went to the park at 10:00 at night and threw our cares away.
When I didn't have to always bite my tongue.
When dates were just plain fun instead of long, intricate planning to make it perfect.
When I could take my time getting up in the morning.
When I could read any time I wanted because I had the time.
When I didn't have to worry about compromise or sacrifice.
When I wasn't so angry or frustrated all the time.
When I didn't have melt downs because I didn't feel noticed.
When I didn't always have doubt.
When I didn't have so much responsibility.
Can we go back to those times?
