To be honest, I have about 40 posts in draft behind the scenes here. I just can’t bring myself to publish anything. Maybe it’s because too many eyes will read it. Too many eyes that I don’t want to read my thoughts, at least the thoughts that I’ve been writing about lately. It’s hard to write and publish when you are not anonymous.
Aside from that, I’ve been busy hanging out with my two favorite people! My husband, Binary Boy and I have had a busy Summer! Swimming lessons, good friends moving within minutes away, lots of (minor) home improvement and the general day-to-day business that raising a child brings. Really, it’s been amazing and happy. I am content and, if I could purr like a contented cat, I would be purring constantly.
Binary Boy’s birthday is at the end of October, so we’ve started planning. Nothing but the date is set, yet, but it’s never too early to start! My Dad won’t be able to make it this year due to circumstances beyond his control, but we’ll hopefully see him next year (we’ll miss you Dad and Kika!). We’re not sure who else is coming from out-of-state, but hopefully, everyone can make it this year. It’s hard being away from family for so long!
Oh.. and my birthday is in a couple of weeks. I’ll be over 30! Not sure what I want to do for it, if anything, but after about 25, I stopped caring, to be honest. I have more fun celebrating other people’s birthday than my own!
We’ll be having a very relaxed Labor Day, with nothing much planned other than being together. We always seem to have fun no matter if we just go grocery shopping or weed the yard or hanging out with friends, so I’m sure it’ll be more of the same for our three-day-weekend. Hope you enjoy your weekend, too! Remember to relax and have fun with friends and family. They are what makes life worth living for. 🙂
You have a good life! Enjoy the new beginning with your husband and so so cute baby boy. Focus on that and nothing else for now.
Who cares what others think about your posts. Write your true thoughts and let it be. I think you have a lot to say so let it flow.
I agree with Cyndi about “who cares”; but you already know that. Have you considered fiction? Of course blogging is more your signature, and when you are ready, you will let it “all hang out”. Keep on expressing yourself; it’s delightful.
Definitely enjoy celebrating other people’s birthdays more! Especially your son’s in October.
Checking in with you … I hope your life is brimming with goodness! I so loved the time of my life with young ones – so much newness, challenge and hope. It may be hard to see it that way when it is present day, but please enjoy.
Thanks for checking in! I am doing well. Very well, indeed. I am savoring my life with my son and husband! I hope you are, too, with the ones you love. I still write, just don’t publish. Maybe again someday? Time will tell on this one!
Glad you are doing well : )
That was very inspiring. Life is just starting after 30!
It’s my first time visiting your site and I must say that I have really enjoyed reading your posts. Oh, by the way, I have a solution to your birthday problem…. I officially turned 35 yesterday and I decided that from next year I would be getting younger. So next year I will be celebrating my 34th birthday and the year after that 33! Call me ditzy but …… why not???!!!
Definitely enjoy celebrating other people’s birthdays more! Especially your son’s in October.
I came first time in your blog and it looks like that I am in good place where I will be able to read really good articles.
Hey – how’s the boy? And how are you? It only gets better!
@Cyndi: Hi Cyndi! I am writing an update post very shortly! It is nice to know you care to check in. 🙂
