Limbo...

First, I am sitting here with a towel on my head...I should be getting ready for work, but instead I am blogging...procrastination at it's finest! I'm not sure about my husband Greg, but I have forever strongly disliked (I'm trying to cut the word hate out of my vocabulary) the game of limbo. I've never been very flexible and I strongly dislike being the center of attention, all eyes on me, and then I fall...maybe it's not being the center of attention...more the embarassment, humiliation, etc. And the cheesy music they always have to have playing during that game....ugh! Anyway, I strongly disliked the game....which is so ironic because it seems to be exactly where our life is right now. Not in a horrible, embarassing, humiliating way....just in the sort of ugh, I really don't want to play this game but I'm going to way...LIMBO...And it's not really that bad...Greg graduates in December!!! I really could not be more proud of him...he is a much better student than I ever was. I think he has only missed one day of class in four and a half years, and that was to go to Helena to take the State Department Exams. I think I took a personal day every week...you know, to get my nails done, or get some extra beauty sleep, or for a great sale at the mall. However, with graduation comes the wait...he is currently applying for jobs, and we've heard back a couple of times on one of them but there's still the wait. This was always the part of limbo I hated the most...shuffling through the line, watching everyone else, seeing how they would all do...just waiting for my turn, would I make it under the bar? So that's where we are...limbo...and I'm finding that as an adult, I'm still really not that flexible...of course in the old childhood game it was physical, now it's mental...it's a challenge. But on the bright side...If I have to play limbo there's no one else I would rather do it with. Greg is calm, focused, he doesn't get nervous about the bar moving lower and lower....he just knows that he will get under it...and if not this time, there's always another game just around the corner and he'll do it then. It is no coincidence in life that he is my husband...to keep me balanced, to keep me grounded, to keep me focused! I guess this limbo thing isn't so bad afterall!
