I can't wait for the day when someone actually gives me, or gives "us" a room to sleep in when I stay over! I was recently in India - and as usual, every couple got a bedroom to sleep in and those without a significant other got to sleep in a line on the floor in the living room. This has been the story of my life! Even when guests come over, I am the first one booted out of a room to offer it to a "couple" - single me could sleep anywhere. I actually don't mind...but everytime it happens I wonder when that day will come that someone will say take the bedroom, the rest of us will manage outside. Will that day ever come?! Even last night I stayed at my friend's place and she had other people over who were occupying the guest bedrooms so she asked if I minded sleeping on the couch. Of course I don't (I really don't) - but the thought did cross my mind again, if I was married, would it have been different? Probably not, we both would have probably gotten a nice sleeping bag to share on the floor. But even that sounds appealing at this point! I don't mind sleeping outside or on the floor - just not having to do it alone would be nice.
So what I need to make that happen is a husband. Everyone seems to have one - but me! It must be so nice to have your best friend with you at all times, to have someone to talk to and hang out with, and feel so special with. To share secrets with and aspirations with. To joke around with and spoon with at night. And yes, even to fight with.
And if I can find that husband then I look forward to joining my friends in parenthood. Being called foi and masi is awesome (wouldnt trade it for anything)...but I can't wait until someone calls me mommy and comes running into my arms to give me a hug and kiss because I'm their entire world. And 'daddy' too, I can't wait to see that happen to 'daddy'.
But right now, as of today, I will be happy just having my man next to me so I am no longer seen as the Single Indian Girl and someone will finally(!) offer "us" a bedroom to sleep in. Who would have ever thought such a simple little thing could mean so much!
