I apparently can NOT sleep in ever again. My body has adjusted to waking up early for dreaded work so now every morning I am either up on my own at 8 am or my beagle Rocky wakes me up. It seems that all forces are against my sleeping late. Maybe I should take this as a sign to get out there and be productive and do something with my life. Blahblahblah.
To my chagrin I have been pretty busy. The last three weeks we had the boys (ages 6,7) so I tried to entertain them daily while trying not pull my own hair out. I give props to stay at home moms. By deciding to be at home with your kiddos everyday instead of work, you forfeit any quiet or alone time. You also give up watching any movies that are not Disney or cartoon related. And last but certainly not least, you are not allowed the opportunity to be lazy! Not at all! Every second is busy,busy, noise, moving, chaos. But I digress. The days before the boys were enjoyable and quiet and non active which seemed to be just what the proverbial doctor ordered. The days after the boys went back to their mom's, I have not stopped running. It seems there is a never ending list of errands to be run, rooms to be cleaned, floors to be swept/mopped/vaccumed and school work to be completed.
*sigh*
My point is this, the grass is never greener on the other side. I assumed unemployement/housewife/temporary stay-at-home-mom would be a piece of cake compared to working all day long, five days a week. I was wrong. I am just as busy, if not more, at home each day. The only thing missing from my new "job" is human interaction. I am home alone almost all day with my dog, Rocky and he isn't much on holding up his end of the conversation. If it weren't for the incessant errands and chores, I would most likely develop a severe case of cabin fever and go postal within a week. Let's all hope the errands don't end before I find another job!
Until next time,
Your 20 something friend....
