Stay at home...almost mom

Collin says that I shouldn't report this, but I will rub it in. I honestly feel like I have slaved away the last 8 years of my life when I consider that these last years have been nothing but working fulltime or going to school or both. I am not working right now, and I couldn't be happier. Here is my current schedule: 7:45 am - Say goodbye to Collin as he goes to work. 7:46 am - roll over and go back to bed 10:00am - wake up and make a mental list of things I want to do for the day 11:00 - get out of bed and eat breakfast 12:00pm - clean up last night's dinner and any other chores around the house 1:00 pm - get dressed for the day 2:00pm - 4:00pm - run errands or take a nap 5:00pm - decide what I want to make for dinner 5:30pm - start preparing dinner 6:15pm- Collin comes home and we eat dinner and hang out for the rest of the night. My day starts all over at 7:45am.

Now, I know what you are thinking...what a lazy sack of bones. I have to let you know that I am at the point in my pregnancy where I sleep so little in the evening because I am either uncomfortable, having to use the bathroom, or suffering from indigestion. I probably wake up between 4 and 5 times per night and it takes about an hour to get back to sleep after I wake up. So, what I am trying to say is that i am not COMPLETELY lazy...I would like to describe it as taking time to enjoy myself and the peace and quiet of knowing that I don't have to be anywhere for anyone. This is awesome. I don't even get tired of it. I love it. I could go one whole week without leaving my house and I feel grrreat.

So, I am rubbing it in. I stay at home and I love it.

This reminds me of when we lived together in Rexburg AND in Provo, you lazy sack of bones.

Everyone told me to enjoy this time...and I did...to the fullest just like you are. It's the bomb. Now that I have a kid, I try to relax while he is taking a nap instead of running around like a mad woman, and I am pretty successful at that too. My sisters say it ends once you have more than one, so we'll see. But somehow I think I will always have to find time to relax.
