Conversation.

Strange things happen when you have children. Well maybe not strange, I don't know what a good word for it would be. Before you have children, you live in this blissful, little self-involved world. A world in which you don't have to worry about what others will and will not like for dinner, or about what others think about the music your listening to on the radio, or about scheduling errands in- between nap times.

I've recently found myself missing adult conversation. A conversation that not only involves no cartoon characters, but is also uninterrupted. I can not tell you the last time I had an actual conversation with someone. Crazy, right?! My conversations usually start off ok, but two lines in my mind starts wondering...'where is Addi' or 'gosh Conner's right eye looks really red, I wonder what that's about'...then I try to meander back into the conversation, but by that time I'm completely lost and so I politely exchange 'good-bye's' and chalk that one up to another incomplete conversation. You would never imagine that being a problem before you have children. I mean, it's basic...we learn to communicate starting at the age of one. I can't multi-task to save my life. Well maybe to save my life, but that's another story.

It's crazy the way kids change your life. For instance, when a Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus song comes on the radio, Addi makes me listen to the song. It drives me crazy. I'm fairly sure that she doing this to punish me. I dislike all Justin Bieber songs, especially the ones involving the difficulties finding love. Shut it, Justin Bieber...your what, 12,13,14, idk, you have a great head of hair, and your worth millions. Finding love should be the last thing he is worried about. If he sang about the difficulties surrounding the purchase of a Bugatti, I would be more apt to listening to it. I'm getting off-point. I knew having children would make life....'interesting,' but I can honestly say I had no idea how life would continue to change with everyday. Children make you slow down, speed up, prioritize, and contemplate your very existence. Crazy.
