Wednesday's...

I have realized this semester is SO MUCH EASIER than last semester (the whole being away from home issue that is) and it is practically flying by! Its easier, at times, to leave home and some times I find myself wanting to be here when I am home, but its the same for when I am here. Somethings don't change though...

I still miss not having a kitchen!
I still do not enjoy the fact of not having a washer or dryer at my finger tips!
I miss having a couch and my OWN space!
The number one thing I miss is Wednesday afternoons at Meme and Papaws!

Every Wednesday I would go straight to Meme and Papaws after school. Meme always made sure there was a cake or something good for me to snack on, half the time I wasn't hungry but would eat to satisfy them. (Papaw always laughed when I got into the chocolate pudding and cool whip and mixed them together on a plate! That is also good with strawberry's and angle food cake!) I would read the very eventful DeWitt Era Enterprise and just visit with them! Sometimes staying long enough to eat dinner. I miss that sooo much! Probably more than anything. It was our time and our time only. After 2 years of these great Wednesday afternoon's they started making sure they were free on "Jessica Ann's afternoon" and if they were gone for some reason they were guaranteed a call from me wanting to know where they were... Most of the time just around town so I would turn around and go back and wait till they got back to the house. I know they miss these special afternoons also because Meme offten tells me so! I call every Wednesday afternoon that way I am still kind of there in a way.

I have realized that its these times that I will always cherish and long to have back! When I am home on break I make a point to go see them on Wednesday's, read the paper, eat something, and entertain them, but really its them entertaing me! It's not the same as it was when I was in high school, but its close enough! I am trying not to cry thinking of how much I miss our time on Wednesday's, but at the same time I am laughing thinking of how much fun we had doing nothing! I cannot wait till next Friday when I get home to go eat lunch with them...I have already placed my order! :)
