Hello, is anyone there? I think I have some explaining to do. I am suffering from some serious STUCK at Home Mom Syndrome. We've had quite a bit of snow over the last month rendering James' car completely useless (it almost got impounded because we left it at the bus stop for a couple weeks...oops) so he's been using "my" car to get to work. Which is fine and I really don't have places I have to go during the week, but after nearly a month of being at home with 2 kids, not having a CHANCE of escape is starting to wear on me. I am completely unmotivated to do anything. I didn't realize how healthy it is to be able to go and get bread or milk during the day, or head to the library for story time. Beyond weekly laundry and cooking as necessary, I have pretty much let go of all other responsibilities.
I was thinking to myself that I should have an exceptionally clean home and finished projects since I have plenty of time to accomplish things. But, in reality, too much time has been my downfall. I thrive on deadlines. With the possibility of doing anything on any day that I am home, I find myself doing mostly nothing. James has been leaving the laptop at home so I don't even turn the computer on to edit pictures for the blog. I have two posts completely written, just awaiting pictures.
To make things worse, we just got a netflix subscription which has 1) given me slightly more motivation to check the mail and 2) given me more reason to sit around doing nothing.
I'm not trying to excuse my behavior, I'm just asking for your continued patience with my laziness and I wanted to let everyone know that we're all doing well....physically at least.
