Don't Freak Out!

Every time I call my mom at an odd time or unexpectedly, the first thing I disclaim is, don't worry mom, I don't have cancer again. hahaha. She always laughs (and then sighs with relief). So don't worry, Win the Day peeps...I don't have any signs of cancer again, but I definitely still have random and frequent bouts of crazy :)

My little buddy and I have been all over the country this summer...west coast, east coast and a few places in between. A bit overwhelming since I'm so behind in posting, I picked just one little pic of us on one of our trips when we had to sit behind one of those people on the plane who loses his manners and forgets that when they let one slip out, others pay the price. For a 2 hour long flight.

Don't worry, Austin let the whole plane know all about it when we landed. His voice has only one volume and it's not the volume you want when you would like him to keep something hush hush in public :)

So...it's been forever since I've posted anything here, and this will be the last one! I've decided...drum roll please...to join a social media site!!! Friends rejoice! You have FINALLY (some have been trying since MySpace was around in the late 90's) convinced me to try it out. Not Facebook, but I'll let you know how to keep in touch with me at the end here...

I'm not sure why I am so anti social media. No shade on you social media addicts. I just never understood in the heck you do it all! I barely have energy to put my yoga pants on in the morning to make breakfast at a decent hour, let alone a cute pair with my hair done and make up on looking fab after a 5 am run. And then the effort to take a pic and post it? Makes me nervous I'm going to fail miserably at this.

People always laugh at me when I text them pictures of what other people share with me...they are like duh! I saw that on Facebook yesterday! haha. The only way I know what is going on in my friends' and family members' lives is if they *gasp* reach out and contact me...crazy, I know! And the only people from high school who I have a clue what they look like or do these days are the handful of peeps who I am actually friends with and see every now and again. Crazy, right? HA! Now, don't get me wrong. The secret stalking of some people I'm curious about has always appealed to me, but I can see how I might never be able to disconnect once I go down the where are they now trail!

I also know from writing this blog, that you can make your life look like whatever you want, or don't want it to look like by what you share...how you share it...what cute pics you decide to attach...it makes me nervous that I'll get sucked into trying to capture moments to share rather than just being in the moment and soaking it up. I already have a tendency to have my mind racing and planning and thinking ahead, like thinking about how I'm going to rinse all the damn sand off at the beach before we get in the car instead of just enjoying me and my kid's time rolling around in the mess and dealing with it later. And it's soo much pressure...how do you choose a profile pic?? Something cute, silly, my cute kid, a meme, paleo tacos?? SO MUCH PRESSURE! I'm on step one and I can already see myself giving up on this game.

I do miss writing and publishing journals, but for now, I'm continuing my blogging break. You can keep up with little snippets of my life on Instagram

@jennkinchen

where I'll be stalking housewives from Bravo and paleo bloggers and posting obnoxious amounts of photos of me and my kid.

Miss you all and pray that everyone is out there doing the damn thing, enjoying the moment and of course don't forget to WIN THE DAY!

Love
Jenn
