when i was pregnant, i swore i wasn't gonna be one of those people who let having a kid slow them down. i was gonna do a triathlon in august & we were gonna go to australia around new years. although i think we do a pretty good job of still being on-the-go types, i am realizing now i was a bit naive. go figger.
this summer's triathlon didn't even make it on the calendar & now i'm wondering why i even thought we might want to attempt a fourteen hour flight down under with an eight month old.
but having a kid isn't all about your life ending. or not getting to do cool things like triathlons or traveling. you just learn to adjust, adapt, & be flexible. and yeah, maybe a few things get put on hold for a while, but it's a small price to pay. totally worth it. totes.
today was one of those days where that reality of my life isn't really just my life anymore set in a bit. i had my day planned out the minute i woke up. 11:00 - go to gym, 12:00 - lunch with a friend, 1:00 - visit work friends, 2:00 - errands, 3:00 - go home, parker naps & amy blogs. parker wasn't having it. by 10:45, my day was completely rearranged & plans were shuffled all around. a baby who really needed to take a nap in his own crib & not while being toted around by his mama was snoring away in the nursery. that's just the way it goes.
and you know what? that's ok. i can adjust, adapt, & be flexible. but that doesn't mean i'm gonna stop doing things either. that triathlon will just have to wait til next summer, & our trip to australia has now morphed into a four hour flight to hawaii. i think we can handle that.
and now, for some messed up stuff.
you guys. you guys. i joined twitter. WHAT? i know. i never use caps & there i just did. this is serious! i have never understood what the big deal was with twitter, twittering, tweets, & tweeting. what is the deal with all those @'s and #'s and why does it always look like everyone is just talking to themselves? and really, i still don't get it. but i'm trying. but i have virtually no followers so i kinda feel like all this great tweeting material is getting wasted in space {or, just my new live tweet feed on my sidebar}.
oh, & ya know how i said i have virtually no followers? i actually have four. two are spam, i'm pretty sure & the other two are both mandy from harper's happenings {technically one is kidlet, her newest venture}. thank you mandy for taking me under your tweeting wing & having mercy on a newbie.
so, if you're a twittering fool puh-lease add me so i'm no longer tweeting into no man's land! i would love to get to know ya'll. find me at:
@amy_agoodlife
wanna know something else messed up? today i saw a hitch hiker wearing a top hat. i really wanted to pick him up because i thought he might be an illusionist. parker gave me the side eye & then i thought i'd better not, but ooooh the blog post that experience might have made. or it coulda been the end of this blogger.
we'll never know.
i do know that i love your votes. we're in the forties now & still climbing. huzzah!
