I really want to leave the title to this post blank, as it's nothing more than the mere ramblings of crazy woman.I feel like work has taken over my life...at least from 8:30 - 5PM...it's not like I really expect to do anything else during that time but still.
I feel like facebook has me stuck on pause and is slowly sucking me away from blogger. When I first started I didn't think anything could drag me away from blogger!!
I feel like motherhood has stripped me of who I once was and made me into a new me. There's no such thing as free time anymore, no such feeling of boredom. I don't recall the last time I picked up a book for me, or fell asleep after 11pm.
I feel like life has taken a completely new shuffle and I'm constantly questioning if I have time for this or that, can I squeeze in this photography class or take the GRE and go back to school.
I feel like I've been wearing the same clothes for the last 7 years.
I feel like the only time something spontaneous happens is when I carpe diem and sieze the moment and just say "to hell with it and hit send, or submit and don't second guess it".
Life is way more interesting when you "seize the moment", "throw caution to the wind" and "just do it" and don't plan ANYTHING (I'm a planner!).
Now I understand what Nike was going on about when they said "JUST DO IT"
So after I hit "Publish Post" on this....I'm going to sign up for that photography class, I'm going to sign up to take the GRE, and I'm going to actually put things in my shopping cart and hit ORDER at bannanarepublic.com and not think about it until tomorrow...when I gasp and say..."What have I done!!"
Wow I just thought of the title for this post!! Carpe diem!
**************************
Ok I just did it...but after spending $150 for the GRE testing and $160 for the photography class, I'm too broke to buy anything at BR.com so I'll just have to leave it in my cart until another time!!! LOL
Oh my you are busy!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the photography class. I know what you mean about seizing the moment as I just keep putting off doing things. Occasionally I seize the moment and usually enjoy it. The last time I did that I booked a cruise for our Ruby wedding anniversary. Never been on one before but always fancied it. Just hope we enjoy it.
Have to say I've not taken to Facebook at all. I look in now and again but it doesn't grab me at all. Think it's a younger person's thing. A bit like the TV programme Friends. I just didn't get it at all.
I love this post. I am feeling you in all areas so much that I will post something similar.
ReplyDeleteDoes it help to know you are not alone? I cannot get motivated and I need your sign for my home office. I got totally away from facebook but blog world still calls me away from the things I really need to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteYep Carpe Diem is right! Hey I didn't think F@cebook could grab me either but it has.. of course I gave up blogging in favor of peace in my househould and refuse to let him goad me into giving up my f@cebook too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need a vacation! I say...JUST DO IT!!! Georgia is lovely this time of year, especially Powder Springs :D.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I think we all get caught up in the day to day things and hardly ever get to do those spontaneous things. But to me, that is also what makes life worth living. Sure, I get up with a plan for the day in mind. But it just goes to show that the day is not mine. Fortunately, I'm not a control freak...but I do have the potential to be :-). So I just go with it. If things that NEED to get done, get done...that's groovy. If they don't...God willing, it can wait till tomorrow :-). Carpe diem...and everything else.
Enjoy your weekend.
Ok...I confess, it has been EONS since I've been to your BLOG. I almost got a little affended when I couldn't find the "comment" button. Very sneaky :-).
ReplyDeleteI love this post! I too am a planner and have a really difficult time seizing the day...or the moment or anything for that matter. I need counceling :-).
Love ya! Miss ya!!
