Have you ever had an hour, or a day, or a week where you found your head swimming with so many thoughts you couldn't pinpoint any of them. So many things are going through your mind at once that you don't even know what you're thinking about? But no matter how hard you try to avoid it, you have a constant preoccupation with whatever it may be? That's how I've been lately. And it can be so frustrating until you finally have a sudden revelation. That's what happened today. I had been thinking about so many things; life, the future, the past, God, and a million things in between. Then suddenly today, I realized...I have finally come face to face with adulthood. I know it sounds silly, but it wasn't until today that I figured it out...I'm an adult. I've had adult responsibilities for years but they never really phased me. But now, for some reason, I can't avoid it any longer. Maybe it's living so far away from home, or having more freedom and responsiblities at my internship, or maybe it's because my friends are starting to have children. (Sorry Laura, but I have to blame this on someone!) I don't know what it is, but I do know that it's unavoidable now. There's no turning back. Unfortunately, I don't think I've matured any, but that may come...or maybe not. If I become too mature, Derek and I won't be able to carry on a conversation anymore :)

I know what you mean! i can't seem to escape the thoughts of bills, money, laundry and cleaning, sometimes i wish i was younger again just to have a care free life but i imagine as time goes on and you have children it only gets worse! I believe its another case of men have it easier, i'm sure dan never thinks about these things!!

yes I can relate to the million of thoughts going through your head at once that you can't focus...and I still don't feel like an adult! Of course I am not married, I don't have a real job, and I don't really have to wory about bills..but that will all come soon enough.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm still not sure that I've realized in my head that I'm pregnant! WOAH - I'm gonna be a mom in 4 months! It is very hard for me to comprehend, even though I see the signs of my growing belly :) I have so much to learn!
