We've been a little busy here at our house the past couple weeks. It's funny because I was
talking to Trav the other day about stay at home moms being busy. I
hope I don't get any hate mail for this comment I'm about to leave but
we really aren't "busy." At least I'm not. I hear people say I never
have time to read, or I'm too busy I can't have a playgroup (maybe
they're just trying to give me a subtle hint), or I just have too much going on I can't find any time for myself. Okay, I do have days where I feel that, but it definitely isn't every day. My kids are still little and aren't involved in a ton of stuff yet. Yes I have to get them to and from school and brain stimulation is really good so we play and try not to sit in front of the t.v. all day. I do have a clean house but I clean one day a week. I have to grocery shop but that's only a couple hours on one day. I do have a calling that requires me to plan and prepare every week but that doesn't take me all day. I do work one night a week too. My kids are happy, healthy, my house is clean and I do cook dinner every night but I still have time to read and yes, watch shows once in a while....(Downton Abbey anyone?) Am I the only that feels like this? My busy days are days when we choose to go out and do stuff but it's not like I HAVE to. It's a choice. I know I'm not more organized than everyone (or even anyone) so I'm just curious....why is everyone so stinkin' busy? Yes I have time to update my blog too....imagine that. I hope this doesn't make anyone mad but if I'm missing something that I'm supposed to be doing to keep more busy please let me know. (Oh, and just as a disclaimer, I'm not looking to be more busy. I like my non-busy balanced life)
Okay, now onto the business......we've been busily brushing our teeth....
Growing bigger by the day,
Putting our toys away,
Gettin' older....
We got a new dog...
Or was it a Leprechaun and a dog?
Oh, it was a dog Leprechaun!
Some of us are really scary...
We've been workin in the garden, Building giant towers,
And visiting the Hill Air Force Museum.
We've been swimming at the Bountiful Rec Center,
And to the Tracy Aviary,
With lots of buddies...
We went to the park for a picnic and to play,
And don't forget the swings.
This was all in the past 2 weeks. Yep, we've been busy, but I think I'll go curl up and read a good book now.
