I never realized how spoiled I was until today. Granted I'll admit that I've had more than what some kids have, but what got me realizing how spoiled I really was yesterday. We had my Uncle, his wife, and their 5 kids here since Saturday. Well today we was putting christmas lights outside and we needed an outdoor extension cord (the big orange ones) anyways, I ran up to the Family Dollar and bought one. While I was there I thought I would buy the kids something for them to play with while they were still there. I bought all 4 of the girls a imitation Bratz doll, and Jeffy a truck with a trailer, and they all got 2 coloring books, a pack of crayons, and a crayon box. Granted it didn't come to much over 35 bucks. When I came home and gave it to them, they acted like I gave them a million dollars. But here's what got me thinking about being spoiled, When I was that age, it was just me. My parents didn't have another kid to buy for so I basicly got whatever I wanted. For some odd reason it made me look back to when I was little. I don't want to be like that. I want to give my kids whatever it is they want. Which is why I don't want kids yet. Someday I would love to have a couple. But it's going to be on my time. When I know I can give them everything they need. Maybe I'm asking to much out of life. Perhaps I'm not asking enough. But for now I'm content with who I am, and who I'm going to eventually be.
