You are describing June, July, and part of August for me. The first week is pure bliss, the second week after that you start planning what you will do for the next 2 months, then you spend the rest of your time on facebook or watching reruns of CSI.

Wait I think you describe my life perfectly. (Besides the running myself ragged with kids part of it. ) I guess your dream is really to become a mom.

I totally agree with you. I can think of a million other ways to spend
my time besides work. And after 75, I’m okay with going. Besides, by 75
your body just starts turning to crud anyways, and I’d rather avoid all that
mess and the huge hospital bills that come with it:). I like your plan my]
friend. Its a good one.

I am retired, well sort of, but still work p/t…and I enjoy every minute of it…I tried doing nothing for 18 month’s and nearly went crazy, well, more crazy than I already was. Maybe it would have been different if my companion had not passed on. When one is alone, things do change. I am able to do some traveling, be with children, and enjoy life to a full measure. One thing you younger folks don’t realize is that when you grow older, aches and pains come into play and dreams of the golden years sometimes turns into night mares when you arrive there. But for me, life is good….yup…

I am past 50 and I don’t see retirement ever happening for me – I will probably die in front of my computer at work……

I will be 50 in five years and do not see retirement anywhere in my near future. Maybe by the time I am 75 i will be able to retire.

Taylor’s dream too. I hope we both make it there but if we don’t well I think it will all work out.
