Growing Up Me

As it normally does when one talks about another behind their back, what was said eventually gets told to them.  This was how I found out my husband thinks I’m boring.  Me, boring! I think of myself as reasonably intelligent and seem capable of carrying on conversations with all walks of life.  I have even been known to crack a joke every now and then.  I was quite upset since I do not see myself as a boring person.

After being royally pissed off for a few days, I really reflected on myself and my personality.  I like to let my hair down just as much as the next person. I like to go out occasionally without the children and just be with adults. I am not going to go out and party away the money to feed, clothe and shelter my family.  I am not going to ignore my responsibilities to go out and get drunk.  You can not do a lot of partying without a way to go or gas to get there.  Not to mention, the risk of going to jail or taking someone’s life.

I can have fun just about anywhere and be fun to others.  My favorite outings are getting together with family and friends and playing board games or cards.  I have more fun at home with my very interesting kids and games.  If my husband had bothered to pay attention to what he had at home then he would know there is never a dull moment.  If not sacrificing time with my family and their needs makes me boring, then I’d rather be boring.
