Life on the other side.

So today I had a conversation with my parents. It consisted of the topic of parents who constantly travel for work. My mom stated that if she kept her old job, she would never be home. Ahhh, such a teenager's dream. As i was sitting there, letting my thoughts overcome what my mom kept on talking about, I imagined all the incredible possibilities. Teenagers love freedom. Do not get me wrong, my mom and I get along just fine but sometimes I need my space! Whenever my mom and dad are gone for just a night, I feel a feeling of independence, capability, and extreme delight. I kind of feel on top of the world. The reason for this, most likely, is that I do not have someone hovering over me, watching every thing I do. I can go crazy and there is no one around to watch me and ruin whatever I want to do! I do not want my parents to be gone to do "bad things", just to have a little change of pace and fun? Anyway, I went back to listening what my mom was saying and she said, "I think it would be fun to travel but I think it would be more fun to be with my kids and see them play their sports or help them with homework." Is that a joke? haha
