As many other bloggers have noted, life can seem somewhat uninteresting at times. It feels that way for me right now, a little. Last weekend (for Memorial day) Staci and I somehow ended up with a 3 day weekend. We rarely have the same day off together and somehow had 3.
We thought about going to a concert at Six Flags this past Saturday but tickets for the concert, with vehicle parking and park admission, were going to be very expensive. Sigh... so instead we agreed to help Staci's brother Bryan by watching his kids so he and Heather could go out of town for their anniversary. It ended up being fun watching 4 kids together but it reminded us that when the time is right we hope to have our own kids one at a time!
By Sunday night they returned home and so did we. Monday morning we woke up and sat up in bed, wondering how to spend the day. It has been so long since we had the opportunity to do ~whatever~ together that we honestly sat there a moment in a stupor of thought. Seeing as we couldn't clean graves of family or any other memorial day type event, we agreed to go to Lowe's to buy a pantry shelf and some curtains (both on sale :) and then spent the rest of the day installing them. the apartment is feeling more "homey" (?) now but we're both at a loss for things to do. it seems all we do right now is work work work, and try to squeeze our church callings in somewhere (not to mention laundry, dishes and all the other mundane things.)
Putting our lives events on 'paper' makes me wonder what we have to be so busy with. or stressed out about. It seems we've gotten to the point where we run and run waiting for a 'breather' and when we get one we don't know what to do with it. Life is still a game of hurry up and wait.
if anyone has advice it's more than welcome. I'm sure everyone can commiserate however :)
