More random thoughts

I just couldn't come up with a cohesive post, so here are some more random things.

So, my job doesn't come with sick days or personal days, especially since I have no grandma or grandpa or aunt or uncle to hand the kids to. I'd really like to take one today since I'm physically feeling like crap (hello, black stretchy pants), which is affecting my mental state. See previous post about the vicious cycle.

The weather is also pissing me off. I left HI thinking that I'd finally get the change of seasons, but it's not exactly the change I was looking for. It's late May and still only 50s and 60s. Where's summer? Even though it's HHH in NH, I kinda miss it.

My friend GA landed an awesome job last month and has been loving it. I'm so happy for her! Being happy with your career can make everything better (the opposite is true, too- being unhappy with your job can affect everything else in your life negatively), so I'm glad she's found her dream job.

Today might be a day of cartoons for the kids. They were both awake before my alarm went off at 5am- ugh. Seriously, my job starts at the crack of dawn and doesn't end until 7 or 8pm... who else has a workday like that? Well, fast attack submariners, so Hubby can relate! And, it seems like every day is the same. Wake up, change the boys, feed them breakfast, play with toys and clean the kitchen, watch Sesame Street, play some more (or do errands), have lunch, play for a little bit, naptime at 2pm, play some more, dinner, bath time, get into pjs, brush teeth, go to bed. Seems simple, but in between all that, I'm doing laundry, changing diapers, playing referee, etc. I usually start something then get interrupted when LB hits JC, so I have a bunch of half-finished stuff left to do by the time the boys go to bed.

I don't know why I'm complaining about all that. I knew that's what would happen when we had kids. I guess I'm just needing a change of pace or something. I hate to say it, but sometimes I'm completely bored being at home all the time. Yes, the boys are adorable and I love getting to spend time with them, but I'm spending A LOT of time with them, and it's very kid-friendly. You know, loud & simple conversations, bright primary colors, sticky hands... I'm just over-saturated with kid stuff.

I guess I'm just in a mood because of all that. The SAHM thing, the vicious cycle of working out and pain, the weather, the daily routine... *sigh* I suppose it could be worse, right? I mean, there are lots of good stuff going on. Good marriage, healthy family, financially stable, reliable transportation, big trip to look forward to this winter... maybe I'll make some chocolate chip cookies. That makes any day a little sunnier. :)
