Suddenly, 8 people have updated with new blog posts. Can we stagger these out a bit people? Because here I am BORED. BORED. BORED. (with the blogging world that is, by actual life has been anything but) and then BAM--I have lots of reading to do.
And here I am, neglecting to update myself.
While my life has been crammed and anything but boring, I honestly don't feel as if I have much to share.
The summer is clipping by quickly. I am okay with that. It is hot and it makes me cranky. Ask my husband. Just kidding, I am beyond awesome and am never cranky. He is a lucky guy. It's true.
I am slightly more busy and overwhelmed then I would like to be. To be perfectly honest. Every new milestone with a child is fun and exciting, but also brings lots of new challenges. Haley is exhausting me. She is every where all the time. LOUD. All the time. And WHINY. She is also a tad young to truly understand much reasoning and discipline--we are doing our best to give her age appropriate direction, but...she's 13 months, I can't expect too much. I know I will look back and yearn for the days again, but these days are probably my least favorite so far.
Then there is my whole 'working' situation. I quit at the salon because I really needed another full day to attend to all that I need to attend to around here to be an effective wife/mother/housekeeper/nanny. Good-bye my lovely fake tan.
Basically, I have been just busy enough that I am finding it difficult to fully engage in anything I am doing which is driving me batty. I am yearning to be more "in the moment" in all aspects of my life. It's like my brain is constantly on vacation or thinking about what I need to do; what I haven't gotten done; or what I could be doing. Its very distracting. Simply, I need to get reorganized and start prioritizing some things in my life.
So there is all that blah blah blah stuff.
This weekend if my first 5K. Looking forward to a cool experience there--then I'll be looking for a 10K to sign up for a few months after that if all goes well. Having a race to be working towards really helps keep me motivated and keeps me working out even if I don't necessarily feel like it. Haley, being a bit of a handful, is also very motivating. 30-45 minutes to just zone out and run is a major attitude adjustment for my entire day. Thanks kid, for being a pain.
What else. Lots of fun stuff this month. We got some Royals tickets for a fundraising/ awareness event for AMP22Q. I am pretty excited to check out a game. I haven't been in over two-years!
Then we have an upcoming, adult only, vacation to the Ozarks. That is going to be a great time. Going to be hanging out at the pool. Doing some shopping. And I am sure, lots of shenanigans are a guarantee with this particular group of adults.
Yup. Sadly, that pretty much sums up everything.
Take it easy.
