I’m not a superhero

Posted in All Posts, Everyday Life, Misc.

I look at people like the Pioneer Woman and Sarah from Becoming Sarah and I think, “How do they do it?”  How do they write day in and day out and always have something interesting to say?  Are they moms by day, super heroes by night?  That’s the only way I imagine that they have something exciting to talk about.

I, by comparison, must lead an incredibly boring life.  I get up in the morning, eat breakfast, play with Henry, maybe take a picture or two or a hundred, put Henry down for a nap, run an errand in the afternoon, fix supper, spend time with my sweetie, and then call it a day.  Not that I’m complaining, mind you.  I love my life.  It just doesn’t feel very noteworthy sometimes.

I even purchased one of those cool journal apps for my computer with the hopes that it would spark my creativity and get me in the mood to recount all the vivid details of my day.  But alas, there it sits.  Unused.  Unwritten in.

But that’s okay.  I figure that not having something to write about isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  Besides meaning that my life is going smoothly, it also means that nothing too crazy is happening.  No Carbon Monoxide scares and no gallstone issues (that’s what my endoscopy unearthed.  I guess I could write about that but really, who wants to read about gallstones?).

Now that I think about it, not having something to write about isn’t all bad.  But don’t worry, I’ll keep writing.  Even if it’s not terribly exciting.

I’m not a superhero, you know.

Thank goodness!

At least mundane isn’t full of unwanted drama!

I was worried something was wrong, but glad everything is good. Maybe add a little bit of everything… Cooking, photography, parenting and so forth.

I believe there’s an old Chinese curse that goes something like “May you live in interesting times.”

I’m with you–less excitement can be a good thing. :-)

Here’s my humble opinion: Quality not quantity. Don’t be so tough on yourself – no woman walking on this earth has the ability to be omniscient & omnipresent! Glad you’re doing fine. ;)

Live is not boring….just life. That’s my new motto and I’m grateful for when I can say that because there’s no major issues drawing my energy or drama that needs immediate attention. Life is sweet and daily amazes me as it unfolds. There I begin each morning thinking – ah…another day just like before because I do much the same things every morning in the same patterns while getting ready for the day and out the door to work. But you know, it’s not really that way. Some days are good hair days – some not. Those days where it’s not – totally changes my schedule because I’ll take FOREVER trying to get my hair to look ‘right’ or to curl that one darn piece and get it to lay just the way I want it to!!

Love your posts and your perspective on things. It’s always interesting to see what’s happening in your world and see your great pictures. Doesn’t matter the subject, the entensity of your day and/or drama or lack thereof…it’s always delightful to read what your sharing. So keep it coming whenever you feel like writing!!!

I just found out how Pioneer Woman has a nanny and a housekeeper and stuff. Yeah. That’s how she does it! I’m all for the boring and mundane with just a tiny little bit of excitement thrown in to shake things up.

I think that some of the most profound things I have ever read were inspired by the “mundane” though–especially when it comes to being a mom.

I hear ya!
Here are a few ideas if you’re looking for things to write about:
–what does your daily schedule look like as a sahm?
–what are your favorite baby products? both for a baby and a toddler? (I’m expecting and scouring every blog looking for registry ideas!)
–what milestones is Henry hitting these days?
–more pictures! your boy is such a cutie :)

I always wonder the same thing. Because either I have nothing going on, with all the time in the world to write, but nothing to write about…..or we are SUPER busy and I have absolutely no time to write about it. So for me, my posts seem to ebb and flow with the level of craziness in my life. :)

There’s a say: happy people have no history, or something along the lines. That’s how I take it. The most interesting thing last week? My daughter telling me : “I’ve seen Madame Gascare!” (Madagascar). So-all is well when all I have to say is that I discovered a new dough for the apple pie.

I started to follow your blog because there was something in your writing that touched me…your pure honesty to just be. Plain and simple. Dont be afraid to just stop and say Hello…

Vicky - November 17, 2011 - 6:26 pm

I love your blog! I have nothing to add to that, just that! Many of your posts have been relevant to my life, which is why I follow your stories. I even relate to this one!

I second Vicky’s comment. I read Pioneer Woman’s blog out of curiousity, I read yours because I can relate. With that, I need more pictures of Henry to see how he’s growing. What words is he saying? What cute things is he doing? Is it ok if it’s all about the kids sometimes? :)

Sarah @ BecomingSarah.com - November 19, 2011 - 12:44 am

I think the beautiful thing about life is that sometimes it is completely unexciting and that’s perfect =)

And for the record, I don’t do it all. I don’t fix dinner, for starters, my husband does! =P
