Check out my sons crazy eyes. He looks a little freaked out by his sister. Miss. S had those same big blue eyes when she was a baby
I've been stuck at home for the last few weeks. I'm ok. There is nothing wrong. It's a really long and slightly embarrassing story that I won't get into here. I'll just say that Denny has had the car (our other car was totaled recently) and we have been stuck here at home. At first the whole situation was fine. Now it's really starting to wear on me. I'm bored. I'm stir crazy. I'm lacking motivation, inspiration and energy. Hence the lack of posting the last few days. I have a couple things I want to post about but the whole no motivation thing is getting in the way. The last thing I want to do is blog when I'm not feeling inspired. At first it was great cause I had a couple projects I wanted to work on. Now that those are made I'm having a hard time thinking of other things to occupy my time. If the weather was a little cooler I think I would take the kids for a walk to the park and spend more time outside. Maybe the fresh air would invigorate me and give me a little more umph. But I don't do well in this heat and neither do tiny babies. So inside we have stayed. I'm starting to feel a little guilty with how much T.V. has been watched. I will say this though. Miss. S has been a good sport about this whole thing. Sure everyday she asks me if we can do anything but stay home, but she has been extra sweet. And the baby? Well he has gotten on an excellent schedule. Which means his night time sleep has been amazing. He's been waking up pretty consistently at 7:30am most days. So there are plus sides to all this. I'm just hoping that this week I'll be able to have the car a little more. We'll see. In the meantime I need you help. What do you do when you find yourself in a rut? Where do you find motivation? Inspiration? All my usuals are just not working. I need some good ideas!

I'm gonna say go outside. Even for 20 minutes. It will totally help to get sunshine. Do you have a balcony? Patio? Yard? Water play out there, sidewalk chalk - who cares how dirty they get. When we are home a lot I give the kids a lot of baths, do cooking and art projects. But it's easy to get in a rut, and for me getting out and doing things is the only way. Even a 15 minute walk a couple times a day. You need the sun. And make sure you get a little exercise and eat right. When I'm home too much I snack more and feel lethargic. Not sure if that helps at all, but maybe.
Do you have board games like Zingo or Candy Land or puzzles? Lilah and I have a board game/ puzzle section of every day and it's super fun! Or we play hide and seek. When lilah and I play hide and seek I almost pee my pants laughing.
I thought of one more thing - can you host play dates at your house. That helps me a ton when we have to stay in.
Bailey, It doesn't help to have a bladder infection. Get better first before you "beat yourself up"!
