I am a SAHM right now. My second anniversary of being a SAHM is fast approaching. I have enjoyed it so much. I don't want to go back to work but with the economy the way it is, I just can't see how I won't have to go back. Being a SAHM, you would think that I would have boring days. At the beginning, there were plenty of them. Then I started having lunch with my friends and filling in lots of things to do during the day. I love to volunteer.
Boy, volunteer, what an understatement. I work at volunteering for many hours during the week. Most of it anymore is scouting. I am trying to get everything ready for myself to step down as cubmaster. There is just so much to do. I got a lot accomplished today. Santa is booked for the Dec. pack meeting. Just have to find a craft. Going to send off care packages to troops for our Nov. meeting. Booked 3 judges for our jack-o-lantern contest. Oy, so much to do...so little time.

Can't sleep
What is it that makes a person a morning person or a night owl? My mother has always been a morning person and my father a night owl. I am a self-proclaimed night owl. I have always loved working later in the afternoon and going to bed late. I don't do well in the morning. I can get up early. My body just doesn't like it.
It is almost 4:oo in the morning. Terry's alarm will be going off in about 20 mins. Here I am awake and not wanting to sleep. Now I did go to bed around 11:00 pm and woke around 3:30 am. I love the absolute quiet of the night. Except of course for the snoring coming from children and Terry. rofl
The funniest part about being a night person is that I am scared of the dark. As long as I have someone with me I am ok. Being by myself is not ok. I remember travelling to Nebraska by myself with boys and dog. Kathy took the boys to stay at her house on the first night there. Now normally I love this. Trapp, the dog, probably thought I was crazy. He was a puppy at the time.
All of the lights were on in the house and outside. I had Trapp sleeping in my bed with me. Even though I was scared he was going to poop on the carpet. I hardly slept at all thinking the whole night that the boogy man was going to get me. I am an adult for crying out loud!! Why would someone my age be scared of the dark??? I will never know and there is no cure for it.

Hump Day
Middle of week. Not a lot going on today. Not feeling the best this week. A.F. is visiting and it's kicking my butt! Allergies don't help.
Not a whole lot going on this week. I cleaned my carpets on Monday in the back living room. Been doing a mountain of laundry. Could pay attention to it and it would go faster.
I have to really watch my depression. I need to get a job. Don't want that though. Working at my last job and how stressfull it was really scares me that I will do it again. I had no time to myself. I was either an employee or mom. Never me. These past 2 years of not having a job has been wonderful. I get to go to my kids' programs without asking off. Go to the dr.'s without any worry about how long it is going to take so I can get back to work. I don't miss a job at all.
What I do miss is having a dog in the house. Who would have thought?
