Things I Should Have Appreciated More While I was at Home

So I live on my own now, and while I am loving it (like a ton!) I am also realizing that there are A LOT of things my mommy used to do for me that i am supposed to do for myself now... So this is an 18-years late thanks to my mom! These are the things I miss the most about living at home.

1- Having Little Things Bought for Me

did you know that cleaning supplies are REALLY expensive? I mean bleach here and windex there isn't so bad but when you have to get it all at once that stuff adds up! Same with toilet paper! Sheesh! I'm sorry I used so much of it when I lived at home. I am now someone who is counting my sheets to make sure I only use a few squares so I can conserve what I have! And I have sworn off paper towels! Those things are always gone! I just bought a roll but no, it's gone like thirty seconds later!

2- Having a Taxi Cab

I never knew how much you drove me around until I didn't have you to drive me around anymore. I am one tired and calloused Angela after all of the walking I do to get places! I know you always told me that you were sick of driving us around so often but I always thought you were whiny and irritating... you were irritating and whiny but it was justified! And I still use you whenever I can! You come out and take me one place and I try to get you to take me all over so I can get anything I might possibly need ever! haha! Thanks for being such a good sport!

3- DINNER! 
Oh man, you have no idea how many times I have not eaten dinner at all because I just don't want to make it! I didn't think making dinner could be such a drag. But it is! And mine never taste as good....

4- Having a Listener

I know that when we talked it often resulted in an argument but I miss those! I miss human contact! I have work and school and roommates who live in their rooms and I have no sisters and mom to talk to about my day all of the time! I have no mom-micking! I miss your crazy and wicked ways!

5- Amenities of Living at Home

I miss having a DVR, a comfy couch that doesn't smell funny, more things to cook with, three bathrooms, my old room, a washing machine at home, it was like anything I needed (glue, tape, bobby pins, crafting stuff, ect.) was somewhere in the house and all I had to do was find it... now I have to buy it.... yuck...


There you all go. I love living on my own! I really do! I have more freedom, I love the responsibility, I love being able to walk places, I love being able to stay out as late as I want and being able to make (most of) my own rules. I love it a lot. But I want to say thanks to my mom for all she used to do for me that I never realized she did (or at least not to the extent!)! And all that she does for me now even though I may not realize it!

♥Final Words: I love you mommy!
