It’s Friday Evening and This Is What I’m Thinking…

August 11, 2017


This week parenthood is your son hounding you that he needs a new phone case because the color of his doesn’t match his personality.  I don’t know how I’ve gone this long not realizing Beau isn’t a blue.

I heard this recently on a podcast… “Adulthood is learning to live with regret.”  At first I didn’t think much of it.  But I kept coming back to it.  Maybe that’s it.  Living with regret being a fact of life.

I’ve finally resolved to being the parent of an only child.  It has taken 10 years and my sweet little great-niece to realize this.  I love her, but she has made me realize I don’t want to do babyhood and toddlerhood again.  Babysitting yes, parenting no.

Lord knows we don’t need a 4th dog, but I kinda want one and I want to name her Pearl.

Last week it was socks behind the couch.  This week it’s half-eaten crackers and a spoon on the bookshelf.  I’m pretty sure they’ve been there the better part of the week.

Childhood moves at the speed of light.

It’s only the third week of school and I’m already over book reports.

I turn 39 two months from today.  No big deal. {Better than the alternative, right?}  But you know what is a big deal, what makes me feel so entrenched in the blehness of being middle-aged?  Having to wear a mouth guard at night.

Last weekend I spontaneously painted our kitchen and dining area Opera Glasses. {And then I repainted it because silly me absentmindedly got semi-gloss instead of eggshell.}  You don’t know how happy those dark blue walls make me.  So, so happy.

Tomorrow evening Beau is going to a birthday party which means date night for us. It’s about time.

Happy weekend!
