Bored.

I am a little bit antsy today.

Maybe it's the weather change.

Maybe it's because I don't want to clean.

Maybe it's because there is nothing good on TV in the middle of the day, and I find it really difficult to lie on the couch without guilt.

Whatever the reason, I've discovered that I kind-of suck at being a housewife. Sure, there are plenty of things to be done:

*Curtain making

*Closet organizing

*Fruit canning

*Ironing

*Or perhaps, getting rid of the lake that has made itself a home in the southeast corner of my backyard.

But, those things just aren't hitting the spot for me at the moment. I know, I know, ... I should bottle up this new found peace and enjoy it while it lasts, but for right now...

I want fun.

I want spontaneity.

I want tropical drinks.

Okay, so I do have Deaky around for entertainment, but let's face it...he is even bored. This is what I found after he had finished his lunch.

(Notice...there is absolutely no food left on his tray - apparently his tired "spell" hit him after licking his tray clean.)

So, now I guess I will aimlessly search on the Internet for a vacation that I feel I am in need of, but can't afford - and possibly make a run to a gas station for diet coke (but not gas - it costs too freaking much, and I hate pumping it - even though I need it.)

I think he is having a growth spurt needing all the food and sleep he can get. So stinkin cute. It's funny to see this post because Brian and I just had a conversation that he thinks stay at home moms have nothing to do all day and he fears if I stayed at home full time I would be bored. I haven't been bored since 7th grade, I think bored sounds great! Now thats not saying I'm not full on guilty on my stay at home days of occasionally avoiding all the things I should be doing and surfing the net or catching a power nap.

That's how I feel most days. Sometimes I have very productive days, but most days I just look around and feel overwhelmed so I do nothing. If nothing is changing diapers, cleaning spills, making lunch, etc. Sometimes you just need days where you don't add more. I love the picture of Deak! That is how I feel after my belly is full.
