Growing Up And The Importance Of Helmets

Posted on

Growing up astounds me. It seems as if you reach a point where you plateau. Where you mentally stay a certain age.

I am 31, but I still feel like I am 26. I look at my life and am completely floored that I have been married for almost 6 years and have 2 kids?! What the WHAT?! When did that happen? Why is life going so fast?!

And also, to confirm my adultness, I feel this great need to yell at kids, who are riding bikes, to wear a helmet. Don’t they know how important their little brains are?!

Yep, I’m a full-blown, rule-screaming grown up.

Ugh.

And please excuse the wrinkled skirt. I guess I’m not a full-blown ironing grown-up. 😉

Semi-Schizophrenic

Posted on

My husband laughed the other night when I picked my pillow up to fluff it. I asked him what was so funny and he said, “You are such a schedule follower. You do the same things every night with rigid accuracy and yet you are the most spontaneous person too.” Does that make me semi-schizophrenic? That I have to have my ducks in a row and yet can fly by the seat of my pants and am perfectly content when nothing gets done? In truth it just means that I am a freakishly lazy control freak. Ha! That makes perfect sense, right?

This morning though, to mix things up, I completely forgot to set an alarm and woke up an hour late. Jumping out of bed in a panic, I gathered myself together and walked out the door ten minutes later. So much for routine…

Roll on over to Life As Mom and check out my guest post about Accessorizing Yourself!

Honest confession, I have been too exhausted to put my contacts on. Which means I have to literally stick my face IN my makeup bag to see what I’m pulling out. I’d say I’m “as blind as a bat”, but wouldn’t that mean I’d have no sight AND also have sonar capabilities? 😉
