Gratitude

Skycrystal2005: I felt like a stay-at-home mom/housewife yesterday.

NoraDragoon: that's what brian wants you to be

NoraDragoon: a stay at home mom with an education

NoraDragoon: haha

Skycrystal2005: nah.

Skycrystal2005: hahaha

Skycrystal2005: HE wants to be a stay at home dad

NoraDragoon: well, chuck and i don't want to work

NoraDragoon: we both want to stay home and have fun

NoraDragoon: i wish life was that way

Skycrystal2005: No shit.

Skycrystal2005: I think I want something good to happen ... that's why I'm still going to school.

NoraDragoon: i don't like having to trade my time for a measly 10/hr paying job. i don't like trading my time for money

NoraDragoon: that's why i need to be self employed

Skycrystal2005: I want to work hard for a few years in order to do what we want.

Skycrystal2005: My man works hard every single day.

Skycrystal2005: And when I say hard, it's hard work, and he comes home with cuts and wounds all the time.

Skycrystal2005: I love him, and I love him for working so hard for us.

Skycrystal2005: And I'm not going to let him do this his entire life.

NoraDragoon: chuck does that too, but he comes home covered in construction glue and has some sort of spinters from working with wood all day

NoraDragoon: i come home and my wrists hurt

NoraDragoon: from typing

Skycrystal2005: God, I actually have someone who works to take care of me so that I won't have to worry.

Skycrystal2005: Who would have thought the smelly weird kid from high school would be the one to do that for me. Hahaha!
[Ok, so Nora said that Brian was stinky when he was in high school. Unfortunately (and fortunately), I have no recollection of that.]

NoraDragoon: your funny

Skycrystal2005: I'm serious! Do you know how many people out there want exactly what I have?

Skycrystal2005: I bet countless.
