I know this makes for riveting reading but welcome to my life! When has it ever been all that riveting to read about!?!? :O) Anyways, this week I had three days in a row where I was bored. Like sitting there wondering what to do. Seriously, that has probably happened like 20 times in my entire life, ok I don't know if childhood counts but you get it. I am not one to wonder what to do with myself. I usually have like twenty things I wish I could be working on all at once. But I don't exactly know why that has changed lately. My guess is that we are sort of in an interesting place of limbo...waiting. I love home improvement projects and crafts but I really have no desire to start any of them with a move looming ahead. Then the crafts I could do like scrapbooking I sort of don't want to do because I don't have space for it. I would have to do it in my bedroom but then the kids are into it and Genevieve is into everything!!!!! Plus we are trying to save our money and crafts are not very budget friendly. I love to cook and bake and try new recipes but then again we are on a strict budget and I am on a strict diet so.... And four kids make it tricky to have any sort of hobby; with GeneVi's two naps a day, dropping off and picking up kids three times a day, three meals to prepare and an endless need to pick up and clean up, and then my diet of eating every 3 hours and getting my 1 and 1/2 hour workout in everyday I don't want to over complicate my life with extra stuff just because I feel bored and then not do the most important stuff.... So this is what I have decided I will do and work at so I don't get so bored which really for me translates to the feeling of having nothing to work towards... wow, take a breath that was long!

Sunday - we relax and perhaps: watch Mormon Messages, church movies, play church games, go on a family walk, have a "fancy" dinner, and make sure to cuddle
Besides the dogs and a few other little things I am sort of already doing most of this but I want to do it better, I want to do it more regularly. So that will be my goal, to do this better and more and live my dream routine! ...I think in five years this will be really funny/interesting to look back at and remember me in 2012.
*crafts I do want to do though are my brag book pages for Grandma Rasmussen and scrapbook my 2012 and 2013 family calendars! That's it.
