Oh, the things I miss...
You know how it is. You get older, have a couple of kids and you no longer do some of your favorite things. What were they? What are the things you miss most? Humor me OK. I'm bored, it's cold outside and I'm looking for some free entertainment. Plus, I'm sick of all the "wacko" stuff. I'll start.......I miss playing mud football, swimming, riding horses(although I just got an imaginary one ;) .......I've actually thought about telling people I'd ride their horses for free so they won't go sour just to be able to get back into it),......um I'll add on to this later...................NEXT! 56 comments from 13 users

I MISS TRAVELING!!!! It makes me want to cry! Maybe when my son can be in his car seat for longer than an hour without going into a screaming fit, we'll travel more... And it's just so killer- I got an ad from the company I used to drive for, promising 45 cents a mile for experienced teams. Just killer. posted by

hmm...this is an interesting one, I had a baby when i was 17 so i missed...my senior year in HS, the prom...grad night..but i wouldnt trade it. I got to see my son go to the prom that was totally cool. Now I am a grandma and I have a son who is 15. So he is pretty "self contained". I am free to do what I want now and I tell you San Diego is a beautiful place to be when you need something to do. I do miss Tehachapi. I miss the smell of fireplaces, snow days from school, black outs ( I always have candles and oil lamps), apple season, cutting down our Christmas tree...man I really do miss those 4 seasons.

I miss sunbathing. I used to love lying in my backyard with a good book & soaking up the rays. I'm fair skinned, so I'd have to start out slow, but after I had my base built up I could lay out for hours. I'm such a pale-face now! posted by

I grew up North of here. There is a place called Springville and up above Springville is "Coffee Camp" (God I love coffee) mmm, anyway, when I was growing up my parents would take us up there and then we became teen agers, we would take ourselves up there. A river running through the mountains. The water had shallow areas to walk through and deep, cold water to swim in. In order to get the river we would have to travel and jump from rock to rock to get to it. There were several different swimming holes up there that we would visit. Rocks we could jump off of, rocks that the water ran through till they were smooth and we could use it as a slide, ropes off of trees that we could swing off of into the river. Boy, I miss those days. Now.....I'm old and jumping from rock to rock and off rocks and down slides and off ropes...OMG, those days are definitely over for me and I do miss them terribly. posted by

Jewels I've been told you can always find something to do in San Diego. My bff used to live there and I have relatives that live there now. I have always said I would LOVE to live at the beach. I'm a water child. Love the water. Swimming, boogie boarding, body surfing, jet skiing, you name it I love it! I want to learn to surf so BAD, but I think I'd suck because I'm a klutz. Ha ha! I scare my husband every time we go to the beach. He's always nagging I go out to far! I think he's watched Jaws one two many times. :) Can you tell?...........I miss the beach! lol I'm afraid if I lived there the appeal may die though. The thought alone saddens me.

For most of my life no power also meant no water which always made me really want to use water.Then when I was a struggling single parent it meant that I had had to chose between food for kids and the power bill so it meant major upsettedness. I really enjoy San Diego too,but would also miss so much about Tehachapi if I left.It's too bad that we can't send you a Tehachapi package full of what you miss so that you could still enjoy it away from here. posted by

I miss playing Yahtzee with my family as a child....we were all together. I miss friends. I miss going to Cues and Brews. I miss going to Domingo's for happy hour. I miss the connection that our "group" had. Don't get me wrong I don't think I would want to redo those years, but I am glad they happen. I miss my friend Erin. She just stopped talking to me for no reason. I know I had to have done something but it's been 2 years and no response from here. I even feared she was dead, but no death records. I miss my freedom. Don't get me wrong, I love kids more than anything in this world, but sometimes I just would like to be able to get into my car and go. Without any repercussions. But that is what be an adult is all about....responsibility. I miss sledding. I miss working. I miss being carefree. Sorry, not myself today.
