I am kind of in a rut. My motivation is totally gone. Part of it is because I can't do my usual routine due to do Ben's new work schedule and part of it is because I am just that lazy. Maybe I'll clean my house...later. Maybe I'll take a shower and get dressed...later. Maybe I will put a load of laundry through so we will have clean clothes tomorrow...later. Now that I have just confest my sins I will be so embarressed that tomorrow I will get back to work.
Rees is beyond me. For instance, I took Rees for our bi-daily trip to the park. He literally ran circles (for quite a while I might add) around me while I sat on the grass and pondered the idea of staying a one-child-family forever. Where did he get all of his energy? If I could take his energy and turn it into a sports drink, I would be a freakin millionaire.
I should never be allowed to bake. I want to be a baker but I'm not. How in the world do you make cookies stay normal with out then going completely flat? When I pull a pan of cookies out of the oven there are no longer cookies but a cookie. What the heck? As Benjy so sweetly puts it, my talents lies in cooking not baking.
Maybe I need to get TV. We get NO channels here via antenna. We just watch movies or our Seinfeld DVDs if we want to watch television. I think not have any news is starting to show. I know I could just read most of the news on the internet but honestly, I don't have that kind of attention span. I miss listening to it. I feel so uniformed these days. I seriously just found out today Walter Cronkite died like a week ago. And what is with all the healthcare stuff? Seriously, if they announced tomorrow our health care system will become completely socialized then I won't find out for a few months. How sad is that? Yep, I think we will be getting some kind of television programming soon.
How come when I try to loose weight, I don't loose it in the right spots? That's all I have to say about that.

I was just getting ready to blog a post so similar to this! I think it's hard to stay motivated sometimes too! You just need to do something for yourself to get your spirits back up!! When you come to vegas we should go shopping! By the way I think cooking is a much better talent to have then baking. I can bake simple things but I really have no desire to cook- I hate doing it!
I love your rants.
I am totally with you on the motivation thing. I usually have to force myself to invite people over to make myself clean because I don't want people to know how lazy I am. And sometimes guilt will do the trick and I'll put my butt back in gear, but the motivation never seems to stay! So yeah, I totally know how you feel.
As for the baking... I knew this lady (We called her 'the cookie lady') who sold cookies to businesses and they were delicious! I asked her one day what her trick was and she told me a few things which I don't remember. But one thing I DO remember is that she said to refrigerate the cookie dough and it will give them a better texture and will help them keep their shape. So yeah, I do that sometimes.
this is a lovely post. i want to comment on everything but for now i am just going to say that ashley comeau makes the best sugar cookies i've ever eaten. so i don't know what she's talking about.
Oh dear. I know how you feel. I'll just say amen..
Thanks for the support girls! :)
I'm totally with you! I can't figure out what it is. I'm seriously there!I know! it's having to be a good, wife, mother, hardly having friends, family that's farther away, being lazy, wanting to have fun, reading other blogs that have seeming-less perfect lives, having no "career" or talent-well at least it is to me. And you know whats funny-someone else envies you:) I miss you and our childhood!
Ashley! It was so nice to get a surprise comment from you. I can't believe you know someone in Ridgecrest? It is such a small world! We have been here for a year now and love Ridgecrest. I don't know the Staheli's. Are they LDS? They aren't in our ward. How do you know them?
Hey! you can come watch tv at our house.... no one is home from about 9-5. Come on over!
