Right now only 3 things fall into this ain’t-nobody-got-time-for-dat
category.
1) Copious amounts of social media time: So
I’ve added an app onto my internet called “Stay
Focused” the app is an asshole but its working. My phone battery dies a
little faster nowadays but overall I think that is the first steps of not being
one of THOSE moms. No worries
grandma… pictures of the babies will still find themselves to the internet.
2) DumbWhiteHusband.com:
I love love writing, I love to write for DumbWhiteHusband, but I just don’t
have the time for extra curricular articles to complain about why men are wrong, there is just never enough time.
I’ll have to leave all the unprofessional #bitchfest to my twitter account – you’ve
been warned. But I’ve been given a pass to guest post if the “itch” arises, I
will most definitely take them up on that… maybe my next article could be about
how men should never use the word “itch” in an email, cause that just brings up
visuals of creams and tubes that we never want to talk about EVER.
I will still write. That’s important.
3) This is by far
the hardest thing to give up… but its also the most time-consuming and money
consuming hobby I have ever had… even more than my crocheting and knitting
hobby. Its hard cause I have people that are keeping me accountable and giving
me money to continue these shenanigans….
I’m gonna stop pursuing
the goal of 50 5ks in a year. This is really hard to say, I don’t like
quitting (I’m far too type A for that shit) but I can’t tell anybody for
certain why I started it, the purpose was to get into a habit of exercising
throughout the week, not just the weekend – which is basically what it is now.
I still have 4 more races that I am registered for (thanks to the January
donations) and I totally plan on finishing those and starting a habit of doing
one a month with my family. I lowered my fundraising goal on goFUNDme to 500.00, which I’ve
almost reached so if I get a few more dollars I’ll sign up for a few more races,
I feel like a disappointment, but my life isn’t about you. I need my Saturday mornings back with my babies. I love running and
I love running in races, and I love the way my body is slowly adjusting but I
also love hiking and exploring with 2 mini mes and we can accomplish all these
goals with some morning hikes in the woods or runs around the neighborhood. 30
5ks before I’m 30 is a much more reasonable goal now.
I’m starting a new freelance
business at the beginning of March, (I did not get fired) and need to throw
all my energy into paying my bills, my family, my house chores, exercising
regularly at home, and getting back to a church. Prioritizing is so lame.
I will still run. That’s important.
Love,
Crystal
PS this is hard to post... I'm procrastinating...never mind...Publish.
