21 Rapids
July 10th, 2008 by annie
When this week kicked off, I was looking forward rather excitedly to the upcoming Wild river white water rafting, scheduled today. I went to the mall last Saturday to see if I could buy myself a fitting arm protector and leg tights to keep my skin from burning while we take the 21 rapids course. My next stop would have been an SPF-40 (or higher) sunscreen until I heard from my boss that, to my utter dismay, the sked was moved for tomorrow, Friday.
The difference between a Thursday and a Friday? I have Ea’s lola to look after her on any day of the week except Fridays and Saturdays. Her weekend is saved for something else and it’s not negotiable. So I bade goodbye to white water rafting last night and decided to stay home and hurdle Ea’s version of “21-rapids for mommy”.
I just can’t wait for my little lady to grow up and go outdoors with me and Jeedo. I know babies grow up pretty fast. On some occasions I even wish she could stay this small and cuddly forever. But I miss going out you know… camping, spending and wasting time downtown, browse for an ON SALE used books, shopping for clothes or a nice pair of earrings, sitting on a park bench (MTS?) watching the sunset, flying a kite… Perhaps when my little one is a lot bigger, it may be exciting to do these things and even explore greater heights of adventure together.
