One of those days...

It’s been one of those days, nothing seems to go right and everything seems to be falling in on me. Which makes this a weird day to add more to my to-do list (i.e., starting a blog), right? We’ll get to that.

I’ve been meaning to start a blog forever now. But, the truth of the matter is that it intimidates me. I actually went to school partially for writing. I shouldn’t tell anyone that because I don’t have confidence in my ability to write --planning and organizing, that’s another story.

However, I am going to push past my fears of what others might think and create an archive for my wonderful baby boy. I want to be able to remember what I was thinking and feeling during the different stages of his life. What better place to capture that than the internet?

My goal (note: goal) is to post about my son, Lil’ C/Lil’ Man/etc., once or month. If we’re lucky, we may also get additional post about other moments worth sharing, exciting or the other.

Now, let’s get back to it’s just been one of those days. I should begin this conversation with the fact that I am a Type A personality (seeing the connection with being good at planning and organizing?). This morning I went to wash out my pumping supplies when the water stopped running. I called my wonderful husband to help me shed light on this situation. He suggested that I look in our “basement” to see if a water pipe broke. So I dredged out into the rainy, cold weather, into the very creep “basement” (I know, I know, drama queen—only for today). Good news—no water leak; bad news—water still not flowing from the faucet. So our next logical question was, was our water shut off? When was the last time I paid the bill? January? Surely, I paid the bill in January, I thought. NOPE! It turns out I missed payment for January and February. Don’t worry, the bills have been paid and we have water again.

The moral of this story, is that I felt like I was falling behind on life. You’re talking to the woman who could state what day of the week, date, and time her next dentist appointment was (6 months down the road!). Now, with a baby, and we’ll say “baby brain”, I can’t even remember to pay the monthly water bill. It felt like a big deal at the time. Anyways, it reminded me of other life tasks on my to-do list, this blog being one of them!

Let’s celebrate the small victories:

1. Our water is back on
2. This blog is up and running
3. I received, as always, a huge smile from Lil’ C tonight!
