Yesterday, I was bored. Today, there is so much to be done. With only a week or so left until the Bridal shower, Irene and I spent a good hour on the phone today going over details of who gets what, who orders that, who buys this...you know, basic planning details.
So now suddenly, there is much to be done and a hair appointment to squeeze in between there too. Plus I have my Activity Day girls next week, and we're meeting at my house, so I have that to get ready for as well. Aaah, I have to admit, it feels good to have a project. That is what I miss about working. Something to work on, to occupy the mind, something to feel good about. Every time I run into someone whom I haven't seen in a while, they always ask the same question, "So what are you up to these days?" and I always feel so stupid because I have absolutely nothing to say. I am a stay-at-home Mom. End of story. There isn't much to elaborate on.
So even though the shower will quickly be behind us, I have other wedding details to focus on in the immediate following that, and shortly after that, I will be starting school again. So maybe my life is a big, dull dud right now, but hopefully, I'll have more to talk about in the near future.
Thursday, Leo starts his new Mommy-n-Me classes. Although, Thursday is just a trial run. I am hesitant to commit to it because of the cost. All the city programs are full, and I've been on a waiting list for a while but that is because they are free and are good programs. So I am not sure how much longer I'll have to wait. So in the mean time, I wanted to do these other classes but like I said the cost has me reluctant to jump in with both feet. Leonard says to do it, that the cost is marginal when you break it down to a per class price, but I don't know, I'm still not sold. We'll see. Leo needs something. The kid is truly bored and needs more interaction and stimulation in other forms than the TV, as that continues to be a battle.
Anyway, I'm off!

Hey Lizzie...that's too bad you feel like that about your life right now. I look from my perspective and it LOOKS rosy!
the decision about the class is good since you need to know what you're getting yourself into.
I don't want to burst your bubble, but going back to school will keep you busy, but it also takes up a lot of this free time you're enjoying. I miss doing spur of the moment things without worrying about he 5 month implications. I hope for your sake you start slow and build up to full time. You'll be glad you did. Honestly.
Anyways....the shower and wedding plans sound pretty COOL! I just got off the phone with Peggy Sue and when I think about all that has to happen; you, Irene & "nita are SAINTS. I mean really & truly. Kailey is ONE lucky neice to be surrounded by such good AUNTS who love & care about her!
GOOD LUCK! Let me know if you want me to do anything. LOVE YA!
You are very busy with all the shower details. I know how you feel, when I stopped working when I had John, I thought that I would die of boredom. Luckily, my work called me back and told me that I could bring John with me to work. I did. I then worked for another year, and when I finally had time off again, this time was much easier and I loved it! It takes a little time to adjust to motherhood and the different needs that come with that "job."
If you need any help with the shower let me know. I'll see you at the shower on the 7th! :)
Buy the class. Some things are worth the cash.
Can't wait to see you -- and the fruits of your extensive labors -- at the shower.
I think it's the adversary that makes us feel ashamed of "just being a mom." It's a lot more than that sentence seems.
Liz you should never feel that way about being a SAHM. You are doing more for your son than you know. I wish I didn't have to go back to work in 2 more months. I get a knot in my throat just thinking about it. At the same time, I know if I did stay home, I would miss working too. But try writing down everything you do while at home with little Leo. Make a list. Watch how important and accomplished you will feel. It is a great thing you staying home. Take it from a child of a SAHM.
