Incredibly Bored!

Sometimes I become incredibly bored. Today. . . was a day I was trying to overcome. Nathan had to work all day. We cleaned the house yesterday so I didn't have to stress about that. I mean, who's kidding. The house got messy again. . .but we did do the deep cleaning so it was easy to put off the rest. This morning I finally figured out how to make my own background for my blog. Now, every month when I make my new header, I will also be making a background to go with. That was fun and something I have wanted to figure out for awhile. Anyway, continuing to fight the boredom I opened the "restaurant" for lunch. This has become a little trick I use to get the girls to play instead of watching tv. I just tell them the restaurant is open and then they immediately want to play house and come to the restaurant. Works like a charm. After lunch was a fun sledding trip. Yes, I braved it alone. Lucky for me, all the kids are old enough to go down and climb back up with their sleds by themselves. I just sat at the top and helped them get started. I didn't sled once. This afternoon I sat on the couch and watched "13 Going on 30". Oh, and I made dinner at the same time, so I was productive. I called Nate 3 times, hoping he would have something entertaining to tell me, but alas, nothing. And now, it is 6:59. I am blogging about my day and I have no idea why anyone would want to read it. The kids are taking a bath and not fighting which is a miracle. Nathan should be walking in the door any minute. I can't wait. What a day.

I liked reading your post and it is nice knowing I am not the only one. Your blog is cute. I always love your headers. I need to learn how to do some of this stuff on my own and stop waiting for Scott to get around to it.

I'm impressed that you did your own background...I never even think to change mine!

Good job on making it through the day...I completely max out at 4pm. 4:01 is usually when I call HH to tell him that he might not have kids anymore by the time he gets home. Unfortunately he rarely gets home by 4.

You are funny.

I have a much easier time putting off the deep cleaning and doing the little stuff. It seems less intimidating to me. I have no clue how to make my own background for my blog. I am impressed.

I think something about January makes everyone feel bored. Not much excitement to look forward to except a few more months of cold weather.

Wow! That actually sounds like a very good day. Life is more like a day like that, but it sounds like all the important things were met. Good job!

Yes the life of a housewife/homemaker/whatever you want to call yourself that day. I love the movie 13 going on 30 it gives you a good laugh and that's just what you need on a boring day.
