This post has been a draft since October on 2018. Aly, as in “Or so Aly says,” decided that her input on the site would be better as video commentary rather than putting words to paper so to speak. She had a huge list of articles that she had planned on writing that were listed as drafts. When her deadlines were missed, I made this one a draft. Then we decided to record her speaking on topics. However, I haven’t thought to start a recording device at any of the hundreds of times we have been together over the last year. This article has become mine now.
Hello, my name is Hailey, and I procrastinate.
When the site went live I had big expectations of myself to post at least one new article a week to keep the page flowing and keep it from hitting the back burner. That was a great idea. I lacked commitment to the follow through.
Over the last few months, there have been a ridiculous amount of things that I could have been writing about. My brother came to visit and we got tattoos together. I took my children to Florida, as I do, for their summer fun in the sun with family and friends, we stayed for a month. I planned, with the help of the amazing Mr. Aaron, a surprise adventure to the Florida Aquarium for My Best friend Missy and her daughter that included my big sister, her husband and daughter, myself and my children, an overnight in Tampa, and a trip to clearwater beach the next day. I went on a cruise with Aly, her husband, my husband, Britt (my big sis), and her husband, to Cozumel. I took my husband to see Twenty-one Pilots, a show we had been waiting for for almost a year since the tickets were his birthday present last year. I shaved half my head again. The children and I went back to Florida to visit for just another week before Boogie started Kindergarten because he missed his Florida people. We went school shopping. I got my first speeding ticket. I won my very first ever pair of tickets from the radio. My husband missed that show. I fought with carpal tunnel for the first time. My Boogie boy started Kindergarten, We threw an impromptu birthday party for one of my favorite little girls. We booked our next cruising adventure. I started a new semester. I booked another croupier gig. I am using a new app to earn pocket money. I started playing Pokemon Go again. I got a Costco membership, that ones a doozy. Aly and her husband found a real life possible solution to our business plan struggles. Danielle’s dog had surgery. Mushu’s tail rot caused part of his tail to fall off an now he is in much better spirits. Boogie’s first sick day from school is today.
So many things in such a short period of time, and yet, I haven’t written about a single thing. I felt that this article should be mine and that I should push myself harder moving forward. I may do that. I may fall short again. The only person I am letting down is me. I know that.
Let’s see where this takes us. Shall we?
