So in light of my funk-i-ness (did I make that word up?) here are a few confessions from me, a semi-normal, stay-at-home mom who usually has nothing to do all day.
1. I can't wake up in the morning. I'm a bear. It doesn't matter if I have had 10 hours of sleep, I still have a hard time waking up in the morning (but I can't remember the last time I did have 10 hours of sleep!)
2. I cannot resist kissing my little boys (William, 3 and Thomas, 15 months) right on their little mouths after they fall asleep. Their lips are always so cute and puckered up and I cannot resist it. One of the best parts of being their mom.3. I would wear a skirt every day if it were practical.
4. I would drink whole milk if it were socially acceptable and not so fattening.
5. I have sleep anxiety. When I was little I use to freak out that I wouldn't get enough sleep and then I would end up not being able to sleep because I was so worried about it. Sometimes it is bad as a mom...because you never know if you are going to get any sleep. After I had my two babies it was really bad. Really bad. I went days without sleeping. But I now have a lot of tricks to overcome my little "anxiety" problem and it is no big deal.
6. We have family sing/dance parties. We crank the radio and sing and dance and laugh. It's awesome. Wish you were a fly on the wall? You should, because we are just that good.
7. I live by a "now" policy. Don't ask me what my 5 year plan is. I don't have one. Don't ask me what we are doing next week. I don't know. I only know what we are doing today. Since I switched to living this way, my life has been so happy. No more stress or worry. Just happiness (don't get me wrong, I write things down on calendars and plan ahead and accomplish everything I want, I just don't worry about them until they are happening.)
8. I love getting flowers. I know they are not practical. I know they will just die. I know they are a lot of money and that we should save that money...but, still I love them. I love having fresh smells and colors in my house. I love that everytime I glance at the BEAUTIFUL 18 ROSES that mike gave me for our anniversary I remember that he loves me. I wish I lived in New York and could stop at the corner stand and buy fresh flowers every week. That would be awesome.9. I wish I had my moms hair and she wishes she had mine. She wants long, thick hair...I want short hair that curls up and is done in about 3 minutes. Hair is always greener on the other person.
10. I have always wanted to be a mom. Sometimes Mike asks me if I would rather go to work (usually when i am being a bear in the morning *see confession #1) and I always reply, "heck no!" I love being a mom. It's hard. It's fun. It's rewarding. It's not rewarding, but overall it is the best job ever. That being said, If I did have to go to work, I would want to be just like Jim and Pam on the office, working side by side. Dream for me. Yes, I like Mike just that much :)
Are you in a funk? It's the weather isn't it.
