I have been given the most wonderful gift. My dear husband agreed that I should stop working while we go through IVF. I had been a nanny the last 3 years. I loved it. I truly believe it has kept me sane while we've been trying to start our own family. I got to take care of 2 beautiful girls everyday. The only problem was, it was about 50 hours a week plus an hour commute (roundtrip). I was exhausted every day. So I was given the gift of not working!
I'm less stressed, less tired, and have all the time in the world to get tons of stuff done. But, I'm not. I am cooking more, my house is cleaned, some projects are getting done, and I'm gaining weight like crazy! I'm caught up on all the Psych episodes. I can go days without seeing anyone. I'm not tired anymore, but boy do I feel lazy. I'm just waiting, waiting, waiting to hear from the fertility clinic. Our dog Eddie and I sit on the couch 1/2 the day (I know this is how people get to be 400 lbs). I just don't have the motivation to get up and go! I would love to blame the shots I'm on, but that's too easy. I have friends that would kill for an hour in the morning to exercise or time to clean their house or work on projects. That used to be me.
So, I'm going to start a different schedule today. Of course, it's 9:20am and I'm sitting here on the comfy lazyboy writing! I've done the budget, talked to my hubby, made coffee, fed the dog, and watched most of a Law and Order: CI. Let's see if I can get up and do SOMETHING!
What should I do the rest of the day?
Exercise
Make bread
Clean upstairs
Work on basement (I still need to get our Christmas stuff packed away)
Clean up guest room
Let's see what I can do! Andy was supposed to be home this afternoon, but he found out this morning that he had a meeting and won't be home until after 5pm. That gives me about 8 hours. More than enough time.....
oh no, Extreme Home Make-over is on....I've got to turn the TV off and turn some music on. Ugg this maybe harder than I thought.
