I am boring…
April 19, 2008 by becky74
How sad is it that I haven’t posted anything new in a week and I really have nothing to blog about now? I wonder when I became boring? Have I always been boring and am just now realizing it? Or has been a slow process? Hmmm…I guess I will never know 
I did have a lunch date with my daughter today. We went to Red Lobster and had a great time. She told me about everything that is going on at school and what is new with her friends. She even told me that she wants to go to Penn State for college!! I was floored by that. She told me all about her boyfriend and the troubles that her best friend is having with her mom. She also told me that her friends call me the “cool mom”. I was so excited by that!! It was great to actually hear taylor open up to me. She usually spends her time either on the computer or holed up in her room. But I will say that being 13 today is different then whan I was 13. There is so much more pressure on these kids to succeed and to grow up so fast. What’s wrong with taking the time to make mistakes and to actually enjoy being a kid???
Besides being boring, I am also a sucker. I volunteered to go into work tonight from 7pm-3am. Yeah, I don’t know why I said I would do that either. Oh well. It does have its bright side…I will not be around to hear Seth’s bedtime meltdown.
A friend of mine texted me a picture of a ferris wheel at the beach today. I really wish that I could be there riding on it. I love the feeling of going up in the air with the wind in my face. And I love watching the waves break on the shore. its such a liberating sensation, and I could really use that right about now.
When you start blogging, you always have something fun and exciting to say. After awhile it starts getting more difficult to find things to blog about, unless your a political blogger, cause that’s a never ending source of inspiration
I’ve noticed a lot of blogs have laxed this week, maybe it’s the nice spring weather
You, my dear, are never boring. :0) In addition to writing about what’s going on in my life (and yes, I know I haven’t even been good about that lately, but should be back on track soon) I’ve found that I can blog about thoughts, or silly observations, or whatever nonsense passes through my head. You’re good at that, too. No need to critique your performance as a blogger; just blog. ;0)
Those mother-daughter times are so special, and it sounds as though she had a really good time too. I’m glad you had that chance to connect with one another.
Boring???? I don’t think so! There are 5 blogs in my favourites list (obviously your’s is one of them) and every time I grab a coffee and plunk my butt down, I give them a click. I would have a hard time reading about non-stop jet setting go-go-go blogs, I just wouldn’t be able to relate! Everyday life, trials and tribulations, triumphs and successes, good kids, bad kids, etc etc, that’s what I relate to, and it’s nice to know others go through similar things. I like to read how others deal with things, gives me a different perspective on things, makes me think I could maybe handle a similar situation better myself next time. Nothing happening in life can be a good thing, gives us time to recharge our batteries for the next round of insanity!
Ditto on Lori!! I need something that isn’t going to get me all worked up. I need something that I can say “Hey! I’ve had days like that too!” and know that I’m not all alone in this big bad world. Too many people are writing to get the comments and lots of traffic instead of just being real.
I love having days like that with my mom….always have, always will. She’s my best friend.
Being the cool mom is always awesome.
Ferris Wheels scare me but I go on them every time I’m around one. I guess I’m a glutton for punishment.

I’m with Dustin, it must be the weather!
PS, You ARE NOT boring! I love reading your blog.
Thanks for the comments on my hair! I will post a picture later today of how it looked after I washed it. All the wave came back, looks like a totally different hair cut now!
