I would like to talk about the word serious today and how I relate the word to my present day life.
First the defination of serious:
- showing, or characterized
by deep thought. - of grave or somber
disposition, character, or manner: a serious
occasion; - requiring thought, concentration, or application: serious reading; a serious task.
- weighty or important: a serious
book; Marriage is a serious matter. - giving
cause for apprehension; critical: The plan
has one serious flaw.
My TOP 7 serious thoughts of the week –
- I had to concentrate really hard last week to plan and excute an event for 70 women (Mom Entrepreneurs) in Toronto. So did my husband, who seriously took three days off of work to help me. Yeah, vacation days. Some vacation. Thanks honey – your the best.
- I seriously have to learn how to operate a microphone properly. Especially when microphones aren’t actually working and I have to juggle a microphone and a iphone at the same time (both of which I don’t know how to operate well). Just sayin.
- I had to get my 15 month old baby boy to act serious while taking his passport picture. Not easy. It took 7 tries to get him to sit still, face straight and look serious. Babies seriously like to smile a lot. Why don’t they just grow up – the passport office thinks they should. Geeze.
- I am way too intense and serious sometimes and then other times not serious enough. My google eyes scare my husband when I get too serious. It freaks him out.
- I seriously plan on being less serious soon but I am a control freak with vacations. I have turned over the vacation planning to the non vacation planning husband who is now the vacation planning husband cause I have no time. I am taking the vacation with the new vacation planning husband to celebrate our 10 years of marriage (A serious feat!). He promised to fill out my passport application, so what if it took him a month to do it – he did it and I am seriously proud of myself that I did not break down and just do it myself.
- I have a very serious problem making decisions which leads to a lot of procrastion. I feel the need to create speadsheets and matrixs to decide stuff. For example, I needed to do the matrix thing to decide what school my son should attend. I boggle most of my friends and family with my in-ability to make decisions in a timely manner and then flip flop on the decision 10 times. I think my husband is starting to inherit these qualities making us a somewhat unproductive couple at times.
- I seriously worry about what the hell I should do with the rest my life 5 times a day. I worry about the February 2011 deadline when I have to decide whether to go back to my corporate job (my leave of absence is up then). Do I go back the corporate job or keep Mom INC going? hmmmmmm……
So that’s my thoughts on serious. I hope you have a seriously great day today. Ths sun is shining and I should seriously get outside to enjoy it. Bye for now!
PS- On a very serous note, seconds after I finished this post my 15 month son hit the corner of a wall with his face. My husband quickly scooped him up and saw a golf ball sized goose egg emerging from his forehead. I seriously gasped for breath because it looked awful but he is okay. Just so I don’t let a lighthearted Sunday afternoon keep me from keeping it SERIOUS.
