Self Delegated Tasks

I am super excited for this weekend. That energy may wear off, or not. After work on Friday it is time for happy hour with some co-workers and then back home to let the dogs out. Phillip left this morning to go hunting with my dad until Monday. That is unless they get their deer. Then they might be home early. I am torn on what tasks to do first. The house needs a good cleaning, I need to work on designing save the date cards for our wedding, and I need to work on my novel. I am also going to go see my grandma sometime this weekend and wear my dress for her because she won’t be able to make it to the wedding. I also want to try working with fondant. I thought I would try to make a camo fondant welcome home cake for my big manly hunter. I am also having coffee with a friend. I know it is all stuff I will mostly be doing alone, but I am okay with that. I just need some time to concentrate on tasks that I find pretty fun and no one else can really help me with anyway. I just have to get through 7 more hours of work until I can do fun things! Yippee!!

Suddenly Inspired

After lunch I partook in one of my random poking around breaks. This is a daily effort to avoid returning to actual necessary office tasks. This past week on Facebook I had been noticing a friend’s blog competition with her husband to see who can get the most followers. So I decided to check out her posts and followed her link.

While on her site I noticed that in her list of favorite blogs was one entitled, ‘Suddenly Mommy’.
This intrigued me, could it be a blog related to my life? Is someone out there writing about her challenges? So I clicked on it. Yes, yes it was a blog that related to my life. She starting dating her husband when his son was 1.5 years old (me too!), they dated a year and a half and got married (me too!), craziness. We are not quite married yet, nor am I pregnant, but we are very similar nonetheless.

So I decided I might just end up stalking this complete stranger and see how life treats her, how she deals with things and what I can learn. Or maybe, I’ll be obsessed a few days and forget about it, most likely. I’ve thought about doing a blog myself, privately for my own review or maybe share it with a few people. I thought about discussing the trials of what it’s like to suddenly become a mom. There are unique challenges, joys and emotions that come with it. Most people don’t understand you unless they have been there. Maybe my record can bring light to others about this life change than our parent’s didn’t face and most of our friends wouldn’t consider.

I might have just been inspired to start another small project I won’t keep up with or finish…but in the meantime it’s an effort to waste time that I think is fabulous. So for all the suddenly mommy’s wanting to waste a few minutes here and there, I present the blog (or the return to blogging) of a complete stranger (or not as the case will probably be) that lives somewhere in Minnesota.
