The high of my week was obviously my mom’s wedding. A close second, though, was how my six-year-old nephew wanted to be my buddy during the wedding. He wanted to help me with some of the photography I was doing (a special project for the guestbook!), and then to drive in my car to the reception. I’ve never actually driven alone with my nephew before, so it was really fun and we chatted the whole way there. Then, at the reception, he asked if we could sit together at a table a little bit away from all the action. I was more than happy to oblige! So, lots of one-on-one nephew time? Definitely a highlight for me!
The low of my week was not exercising. I just have been supremely lazy this week and haven’t been able to get my butt to the gym in the morning. I’m trying not to beat myself up about it because sometimes, we just need weeks like these. I’m planning to get back to it this weekend, though! No more slacking off!
A blog post I enjoyed was Confession: At Age 30, I’m Scared to Move Out of My Mom’s House by Kate of Greatest Escapist. I actually have a blog draft in the works that is eerily similar to her statement (just change “age 30” to “age 27”), and I have been debating publishing it because I don’t want to seem suuuper lame. Which I know is silly. I was so grateful to read Kate’s words and realize fear is such a common symptom for so many of us. And that the things we are struggling with aren’t unique only to us, even when we think they are. Someone can relate, in some way.
A podcast episode I enjoyed was Skate Like a Girl by Stuff Mom Never Told You. I had really never thought of the world of skating and how hard it’s been for women to break into the sport. It opened my eyes a lot!
My plans this weekend include signing papers for my car loan refinance (!), a lady date with two girlfriends on Saturday night, and a Sunday pool day. Sounds like the perfect weekend to me!
What was the highlight of your week?
I have not been exercising, either. I am hoping to get back to it this weekend as well. My aunt decided she wants to train for a half marathon and I’m already signed up for one in October so we are going to train for that together, and training starts Monday. Oof. I need to get my butt in gear. I don’t really have a high this week, it’s been a doozy! I will say my highlight is that the week is nearly over, ha 🙂
That is so cute that your nephew wanted so much one-on-one time with you at the wedding. I am sure that made you feel extra special (I know it makes me feel special when my nephews/nieces want me to themselves!).
The high of my week was spending time with a friend and her kids at a park on Monday and meeting my friend’s baby on Tuesday! Oh and my massage last night was pretty awesome, too.
Highlight of my week: Showering every day. Hey – when you have a toddler and a newborn, I consider getting a shower in every day a huge win! Haha.
Thank you so much for this shout-out! I’m really relieved to hear that people can relate to this post & that it seems normal, not lame & individual to me. And I know we will both be totally OK post-move… & probably very, very happy! Wishing you the best & can’t wait to read about your new place & the adventures that come with it. 🙂
Your low of the week was my low last week! I was super lazy when it came to getting my workouts done and I hated myself for it. I’m back on track this week and it feels great!
I think I’ll also do a pool day this weekend. I’ve only used our pool once so far this summer. Super lame!
Wish I could come hang out for the pool date please and thank you! Sounds lovely 🙂
Highlight of my week… this is going to sound lame but it was Wednesday night; Knight was out at his softball game, the girls were in bed and the house was QUIET. I can’t tell you how happy that made me. I colored for a few and then went to bed with a good book (the one I reviewed yesterday). I haven’t had more than 5 minutes to myself for a few weeks now so it was a treat!
