in the middle of december Liam started sitting and now is getting past the “desperately needy” stage. I don’t have to hold him all his waking hours. he naps in his crib (huge improvement over aiden’s requirement to nap with me in the bed at this age). when he is up he is entertained by sitting in front of his box of toys and unloading. and chewing.
i’m starting to get restless.
just a little.
and it has started me thinking that i should rewrite my about page to reflect my current ponderings…
i’m a better writer in my head.
as i rocked liam today i started thinking about all the different versions i’ve been of myself over the years. none better then others, but each unique and sometimes quite different.
- though i am restless, i am at peace with the current stay-at-home-with-the-kids-and-needy-dog version. i get restless about the future, but i know that i will never regret this choice. and i really enjoy being here.
- i’ve been the total opposite working all the time always thinking about science grad student. always thinking about my to-do list.
- i’ve been very into jimmy buffett
- i’ve wanted to be a hippie when i grew up
- i’ve been the out all night drinking and dancing version
- i’ve been the my life is my social life classes don’t matter thanks for the C version (last semester at tech. skipping my stats class to hang with carter. yes. stats. the one thing i did actually need again.)
- i’ve been anti-social going to movies by myself not seeing anyone during the weekends version
- i went to a lot of baseball games one year. and liked them. really. i did. i know. i much have been falling in love.
- i’ve cared about things i now find hilarious i cared about
i know the future hold more versions of myself, and that just b/c i am this version now does not mean that i will be this version forever.
