Right Along I Go

I’ve fallen into a rut in my life. It’s a deep rut and I don’t see a way out of it easily.

I get up around 6 am most days. I shower and get ready for work, whether it’s Staples or heading out to Sharons’ dads’ warehouse. I put in my 8-10 hours and head home. Once I’m home, I spend time talking over my day with Sharon and play with Sage. Then we’ll eat dinner. After dinner we either sit in the living room and watch tv or we go out and do our running. Then around 10 it’s time to give Sage her bath and put her to bed. Sharon gets online and I play my gameboy, then it’s bedtime for us.

Now, I know that things could be so much worse. This rut that I’m in could be a much worse one, I know that. We have it pretty good here. We can pay our bills even if we don’t have much left over afterwards. We both get a little bit of time to ourselves once in awhile. It’s just so damn boring.

I want some excitement in my life. I don’t care if it’s by myself or with Sharon. We could both go bungee jumping or skydiving or I don’t know really. I want something different. I’m not saying that I want to leave my family and go hitchhiking across the country. I love both my wife and my daughter and anything I do in my life, I want them involved in someway. I just wish that there was something I could do in my free time that would help me out here.

Well, here it is almost midnight. I have to work at seven at the warehouse and should get to bed. Into the rut I go.
