Midnight Cowboy
To the dear friend that called in the middle of the night to "check in" with me. Yes, we love you, but maybe you need to rethink your sleep patterns. :) And, lay off the SAUCE.
And in other news: We leave for Paris in just a couple short weeks. In that space of time I am supposed to write a 15 page in-depth web proposal and complete 3 websites from start to finish. I'm officially at the "ACK!" stage of stress and having a hard time focusing on the tasks at hand. I am super psyched about my vacation, but I wish that I didn't have all these looming deadlines. So freaking STRESSY! blargh...
Also, I'm turning 29 in a couple weeks too and that has me a little freaked out. Everyone I know in their 30's says how awesome it has been. I just feel like I can see myself aging and now that motherhood (no I'm not pregnant YET) is sort of impending, I feel like my youth is slipping away. Deep down I feel the same way I did 10 years ago. (Well, I'm definitely smarter now, and less drunkishy, but that's beside the point.) I just don't want to ever find myself slipping into the status quo. Carpe Diem and all that rot. :)
I don't want to sound negative about the motherhood thing. I'm really excited about the prospects of starting a family with Tim. Part of the reason I was always opposed to having babies was just because I didn't want to lose my freedom. I guess that's why I've always been a fan of the small family unit. (Fits easily into most overhead compartments) I'm looking forward to having a family to do for and be for. I know I've gotten a tad self-centered (okay, always been...) and I think it will be a good change of pace to have other people to care for. Talk about a personal growth!
Anyway, I'm glad we're going to Paris, because that was REALLY high on my list. I really want to travel more and I'm hoping that once Tim gets to Europe that it will motivate him to want to travel as well. I just can't see myself having a baby and settling down to a life of suburban OKC living. I plan on having a baby, and not settling down at all. SO THERE. My kid is going to see the world with us. If Mighty Girl can do it, so can I!

Hi! I found your blog through Greeblemonkey. :) I just wanted to tell you that you're not alone! We purposely waited until we were in our 30s to have our little girl. And, we only want to have one child. We love our family dynamic, and it works for us.
I also worried about losing my youth, but what I've found (be warned, this will sound very cliche'...) is that my toddler gives me an excuse to do all the fun things from my past that I'd forgotten about, like blowing bubbles, dancing all crazy to music, etc.
Anyway...sorry for the long comment. Just wanted to say 'hey.'
Hey! I heard about this book on NPR today called "A Camera, Two Kids, and a Camel." http://www.nationalgeographic.com/nglive/seattle/belt.html
Check it out. It will give you hope!!
Mwah!
We take the kid everywhere. He's basically at our mercy.
It sucks you are moving when I've just found you. Boo, I say.
Amy's suggested book looks like a great read for future moms who like to travel.
