life. . .

there's so much change that we go through in life....and for one, the gift of life. i was at work today...and i've been working for about a week now...on full time afternoons. so the ppl kinda just rotate around, but for the most part, i work with the same ppl. and i didnt really talk to neone before...just kinda did my thing....served ppl..and when there was no one to wait on..i'd go sweep/mop/stock/etc....and i thought that it was cuz i just didnt kno those ppl very well. but after spending over 40 hours with them....i still have nothing in common really. and we dont talk...it's kinda weird actually. and then today....some strange things happened.......it goes like so:
i work with another girl, she's in college, and about my age. there's a lady..she looks young, probably late 20s, or early 30s. so tonite, it was only us three. short staffed again!! but that's ok!!! WE CAN DO IT!!! that was our attitude. so anyways....the stuff we talked bout today was kids!! and i really love kids.....they are so awesome little beings...so creative, so innocent, so care-free, so dependent on their parents, and they are so interesting!! and so we were talking...and i mentioned that i wanted kids......and they both looked at me and said 'NO!!' and i was like..why..?? and they both offered me children. that was really a surprise to me.....the college girl has a son that's 18months old...while the lady has 3 children. wah!!! and as the nite went on....they always would go and talk n stuff...always bout their husbands, or their kids. and then, i was on my break, and one of the baker girls, who is in her early 20s was talking about not being able to go out cuz her daughter was sick....and threw up all over her before she headed out the door!! and then it was just so weird, thinking that these 'moms' were all working here at a coffee shop.....as their full time jobs!! and i dunno....i'm not saying its a bad job or anything...but seriously..the hours are so bad!! there's no time to be spent with the children........cuz 3-11...they are in school when you go to work..and then they are in bed by the time you get home!! but i guess that's life for them...and that's life for some ppl. some big changes to adapt to. anyways...it just seems like all those ppl there are at a diff stage in their life.....the whole family thing...and i'm not even halfway there yet!! but no need to rush.....He has a plan for me...that probably involves a lot more schooling so that i wont be at timmy's working f/t any longer than i need to. at this age, i woulda thought that change meant things like..moving away from home, or change of friends, trying to keep friendships...and watching others as they slowly fade away. . . adapting to things like that...not starting a family. but change is needed, so that we can all grow and mature. just diff changes for each one of us....during diff stages in our life..... :)
