We've been here for 2 months now and somehow I haven't gotten bored staying at home yet. I don't know what I was expecting; I've never been easily bored. I was always the kid that could entertain herself for hours. Usually with a book. As a kid I had a friend who always needed to be doing an activity and she would say "I'm bored" a lot and I would always think "how can you be bored already?? Can't we just sit here and do something calm for a while?"
I guess I thought that after a while I'd start wanting to get a job. Nope...hasn't happened yet. I'm finding plenty to do with errands and cleaning and cooking and blogging and walking the dog and running and crafting and church-related activities. I find myself thinking "how did I even fit a job in here before?" I just couldn't do as much and I was stressed a lot. I don't like living like that.
Right now dinner is in the crockpot, my kitchen is clean, I just vacuumed and mopped the floors, and it's a beautiful sunny day. It feels good. Maybe eventually I will start looking for a job...but right now I'm just enjoying this life.
*Disclaimer: Even though I'm happy and my husband is fine with me not working, I still feel like I have to justify why I'm not working...or even job hunting. Women used to be home-makers all the time and that was normal, but now it's just looked on as lazy or weird. Especially since I don't have kids yet. That's the only thing I dislike about not working. So far it's not enough motivation for me to try to get a job. :-p
