Wow! It’s Wednesday! The Death of Not Boring
So I was planning to talk about my Belgium and London trip like all week, but then I realized that no matter how I spun it, it was basically fun for me, and boring for you. In fact, the most fascinating bit of the trip (for me at least) was realizing how very boring I had become, and how even more boring I was about to become — and totally being okay with that.
Though I don’t expect my life to revolve around my children — just not built to be that kind of mom — I do realize that my 8-day-jaunts-to-Europe-with-my-sister days are probably over for a couple of decades. I probably also won’t be going to any more countries where there’s a ton of beer and cheese and not all that much for kids to do anytime soon. And I probably won’t decide on Thursday to go to London on Saturday. From what I understand life doesn’t work like that after you become a parent.
Then again, it might be exactly like that. Motherhood might bring out even more improv in me. I guess you really don’t know what kind of parent your going to be until you actually become one.
That all said, yea, it’s Wednesday! Stay tuned for a bunch of great blogs that don’t involve Belgium, London, or me fretting over becoming a boring parental unit. Definite win for you, I’d say.

You won’t believe how much improv is involved in being a parent. Situation: EJ’s toddler friend’s balloon got away from her to the sky. I mistakenly said “uh oh” creating her realization that something may not be right about seeing her balloon get further away from her. 2 seconds later, we were waving “Bye, Bye” to the balloon and all was right in the world again. That also could have been resolved with a clap/YAY! combination. Good times, good times…

Being a parent will be a whole new wonderfully exciting adventure. Kids are great at keeping life fun.

Are you kidding? Brussels has a comics museum! I would happily take children to Belgium anytime. Actually I would happily take children most places, if I had them. After all, kids live in those countries too, so there must be something for kids to do.
I also like to imagine that my children will enjoy museums and such. My husband likes to point out that those would have to be “my” children and not “his,” since his children would inherit his shorter attention span and high activity level.

You can be ANY kind of parent you want etc. That’s the beauty of it.

You’re funny….keep thinking your life won’t revolve around the kid. That is what I thought too, me for different reasons because I am incredibly self involved. But now, it’s Sekou’s world and I am just living in it! Watch out!
