I miss not having to pay bills and spending my money on what I wanted and when I wanted...Being able to have sleepovers and hang with friends. Not having any responsibilits and now worries. I also miss spending the summer with all of my cousins..now that we are all grown we hardly see each other. Oh those were definitely the days!!

As the summer approaches, I am reminded of those lazy, carefree days spent at the local swim club, hanging with friends. Oh, how I miss those days. We would alternate sleeping over at each other's houses. We'd wake to a leisurely breakfast while watching talk shows. We'd head to the swim club around noon and stay until 5 pm. Head home for dinner and meet up later at a girlfriend's house for idle chitchat. It was a wonderful thing!

i miss not having any worries, not worrying about bills, and schedules, and adult stuff. my parents always made things seem so easy and i always wanted to be an adult....WTF was I thinking?!

Being able to live in the moment. As an adult I'm either worried about the past or worried about the future, and find it very difficult to just enjoy what is.

The thing I miss most about being a kid is being with my brother. I live in the Midwest and he lives in California. We had so much fun in the summer playing outside and family barbecues.

The endless possibilities of youth.

Not having a care in the world even though I was raised in a one income household. My dad died when I was six years old and my mother raised four kids all by herself. As far as I was concerned, I had everything I needed. Wish I could have a day or two of no worries.

hanging out with my brothers. we were so close growing up. we would play silly games, stay up all night, have back-yard campfires. now we hardly keep in touch because they always seem to be busy. what a shame. i hope my kids dont end up like that to eachother! but at least i have the memories to look back on :)
