Then I had another kid.
And suddenly my typing time all but vanished.
I love writing.
I love it like some of you like running (I have TRIED to like running. I hate it. I really hate it).
But even though my time may be limited and I can guarantee there is something more productive I should be doing, I'm getting back into this old hobby. Not because I think anyone will read this.
Only because I think way too much and writing is so much cheaper than paying someone to be my therapist.
So, without further a due, here's a little update on my foursome:
-I turned thirty. I turned thirty and the world kept spinning and I only had one major freakout about where my life is going, why I haven't discovered world peace yet, whether or not my eggs are bad, what I should do with the rest of my life, and whether I should just give up healthy eating and binge on hot fudge because it's all downhill from here. Ben threw me a party. Which was way better than a gift. He invited some of my girlfriends from church and helped clean the house and even steamed the carpets. We partied like it was 1985 and I will remember that night forever.
-I am working on weaning my baby. Yes, I realize he's 16 months old. My goal was always 18 months, but people (relatives) started hounding me to wean him. It really bothers some people when you nurse passed 12 months. We are gradually weaning. Dropping one feeding and replacing it with cow's milk. It'll take a few weeks. I know it's time, but I want it on record that I am NOT weaning because some people keep telling me to. Truth be told it would be nice to not have to watch my caffeine intake or go on a date with my husband (I hear that can be fun).
-Speaking of opinions, I keep hearing that 30 is the year I stop caring what other people think about my life choices. Oh I hope so. I'm reading The Best Yes by Lysa Terkeurst and it's opening my eyes to the fact that it's okay to say no, it's okay to not seek out everyone's approval, and that no matter how hard I try, not everyone will always like me (and that's a good thing). I wish I had known about fabulous Lysa back in college. Would have saved me so much money on counseling.
-I've been working on preschool with Logan. Since we are homeschooling, I chose not to send him to VPK, but we've been working at home and it's been good. Please don't roll your eyes when I tell you he's brilliant. I know every mom thinks their kids are, but he really is! His vocabulary is that of a forty year old's. He loves to spell, he loves science, and he loves to quote bible verses (In a cute way. Not in an annoying way, I promise ).
-Our house is nearly ready to sell. We have one bathroom left to remodel, and Ben is working hard on it. The kitchen is done, and I have fallen in love with it. If I didn't miss Orlando so much I'd start begging to stay put.
There's more, so much more, but my kid's breakfast isn't going to make itself.
Happy Friday.
