Nerdy Thoughts

How do people have kids and still get shit done? I mean, I don’t have kids, it’s just the two of us, and I feel overwhelmed by life on a daily basis. I can’t fathom throwing kids in the mix, yet that is something I’d like to do eventually. We’re nowhere near discussing it and are content with where we are in our relationship but of course it was thanksgiving weekend. We had two dinners with John’s side of the family and there was a adorable baby so naturally John’s aunt brought it up. She also asked how long we’ve been married which was pretty funny because then we had to explain we’re just living “in sin” together.

.....no, she didn’t say that, I just like the phrase XD

Rambling aside, the point is you good parents out there impress the hell out of me and I don’t know how you do it. My life isn’t even that overwhelming; I just make myself feel that way because there’s always a ton of things I want to do and I have perfectionist tendencies. I have the unrealistic notion that my day should be easily broken into portions where I can accomplish the stuff I want to do without feeling tired or cranky. As mentioned, this is unrealistic but that doesn’t stop me for beating myself up over not being more productive, accomplished, and organized. Something I have to work but I’ll ramble on about that some other day, when my head is in a more positive place.

Really I just wanted to post to say I’m still around, apologize for not commenting back and thank everyone for commenting on my posts. Happy belated Thanksgiving to anyone who celebrated it this weekend!
