The greener grass.

My sis had an interesting post today, with one of her ‘theories’, read it here, about the grass being greener on the other side.

It is, right? Greener. Isn’t it?

It’s like those days when the kids are screaming, baby is crying, hubby is ‘working’, and you are tempted to wish that you never had these kids! I mean, even if just for a fraction of a second, but we’ve all had that thought at some moment or the other, right?

And obviously, truth be told, we would rather have a hundred times more aggravation, than to not have those little critters in our lives, right?

But, if you did have the chance, what would your greener grass be?

is it lame if you are the first to comment on your own article??

well, I realized that I did not really say what mine would be…
a bigger house… I am sure this probably the same for many people, but my reason is because I ‘really’, ‘really’ want a dishwasher!! We just don’t have the space right now.

Thoughts from Sherry

My greener grass would probably be that I was finished school and that I would never have to worry about another exam or thesis or anything EVER AGAIN. Too bad you dont have the option to fast forward to these moments that you wish for. Then again, I have some friends that are not that stage and not really enjoying it that much…..so i guess my grass is as green as it gonna get….for now!

Greener grass????

Oh the paths not taken.

I think more money, a bigger house are the usual things I sigh about….

other things are envy of families who ‘do’ more….travel are more glam, more risk taking than we are….

I wish I had taken more risks.
I wish I had ‘done’ more.

sherry… funny thing is that I actually miss being in school!! talk about greener grass eh!

crunchy mom…very true… the path not taken is looked at as somewhat ‘greener’!

If i had a chance, my greener grass would be MY OWN HOUSE, more money (cant keep up with the rising rate of inflation here in Trinidad), the ability to speak ‘baby’ language, the opportunity to live abroad….the ability to take more risks….going to university does not seem like such a bad idea….

Thoughts from and baby makes four

I’m starting to take a few cautious steps toward living out a bit of my greener grass – a little school, a little career, a little extra money, a little bit of an identity that’s not wrapped up in my children.

Who knows if it will be greener?  I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

By the way – I loved your “call to prayer” post too – my BIL is muslim and I often wondered what the call to prayer meant and what it’s origins were.  Is that the same prayer that is whispered into the ear of the newly born baby – the first thing he hears?

Thoughts from shaz

Thanks Kristina, Yes, it is the same thing that is said in the ear of a newborn so that its the first thing he hears.

I am really happy for you! I wish you all the best with your new career!!

Mokey… learning baby language… good idea eh!
