Pots of gold

They say that at the end of every rainbow lies a pot of gold.  While I've been to the end of several rainbows I've yet to find my pot of gold.  I guess the moral to the story is that the pot of gold lies in the journey or the hunt for treasure and that we should find the treasure in the hunt itself.  The line from the song goes something like "it's not getting what you want but wanting what you've got".  Unfortunately I don't want some of the things I've got!

Like the tick, just can't bring myself to say that I truly want that to be a part of my life forever.  Knowing that their standard operating procedures will never change.  Once again the lovely individual that they are left their responsibility squarely in our hands.  Not that we mind taking care of this person just I didn't sign up to raise someones child, pay for the privilege of doing the same while they work on their social life.

The fifteenth of this month marks six months of getting ones act together or the lack there of.  I've come to the decision that its time for them to assume a share of the load.  In my life one of the strongest motivators was always living in doors and being able to eat something.  I personally believe that until this upstanding model of society is forced to pull their share of the load, they will choose to ride.  That time has come and gone and I think come Monday a new leaf will turn in their comfortable little world.  It should be interesting to see how those priorities change when the responsibility for paying for some of those "needs" come to rest squarely upon a new set of shoulders.

Don't I just remind you of Me?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
