I did my first confessions post back in May, so I figured it was a good time for round 2. I have a lot to confess this week.
I confess….
…That I just want to quit my job so I don’t have to drive an hour to and from work every day. And that I’m bored with the job. I’m not a techie person so working IT has been a challenge for me. I’ve learned a lot, but it’s time for me to move on. At this point it’s just a job for me and not something I’m passionate about.
…That I’ve barely cooked over the last month. I have recipe ideas, but we’ve been gone, or it’s just been Little A and I so no sense in making a big meal when we’ll both eat meat, cheese, crackers and carrots for dinner and be perfectly content.
…That all I want to do is wear my workout gear all day every day.
…That my hubby and I watched all 4 seasons of Game of Thrones in 3 months this summer. It is addicting!
…And that all I want to do right now is sit on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa and watch more TV. After the kitchen remodel and Little A’s party, this mama needs a break.
…That I’m so happy for my hubby’s new job, but super concerned at the same time. The program he’s working on is a top priority for his company and I have a feeling he may be traveling a ton more over the next 15 months. He will have taken 15 trips in 10 months for his last job (he has one more to go on next week, even though he started his new job today) and it was a hard year for us. I pray that he can hire a great team that will be taking a lot of the trips for him. 🙂
…That I hoard gift bags. I have around 100 gift bags and no, I will not just throw them away. I’ve had some since before Little A was born and I still have a ton from her baby showers. We got about 10-12 more from her party over the weekend and you better believe I’m adding them all to my collection.
…That I really want these boots, in cognac, but the hubs put the kibosh on them. I have a $40 note and we still have triple points days left, so really it would be of benefit for me to get them. Who’s with me ladies?!
…That I just need a week off to finish all the chores I need to do around the house. I have tons of Little A’s clothes to sort through to take to consignment, cleaning to do and pictures to hang. An office and play room to organize. There just aren’t enough hours in the day.
…That I want to bake a new treat every day. I have tons of recipes to try and not enough mouths to eat them though.
…That I’m thinking about keeping my blog with blogger and just getting a new theme. I don’t have the $$ to invest in the blog like I would like to right now, so I may just do an update. We shall see what the next month or two brings.
…That I called in sick today and even though I really didn’t feel well, I still took Little A on her first field trip! And we had a great time.
And tomorrow is back to the grind. But at least I only have to go into the office 2 days this week. 🙂
Happy Monday! What do you have to confess today?
Oh girl. I bet you DO need a break! Remodels and entertaining are NO JOKE.
Also, side note: I moved my blog to a self hosted GoDaddy site for $12. 🙂 It took a lot of focus because I did it myself (and switched my theme over, too) but I did it and I’m so happy I did.
I’m right there with you on wanting to take a week off to get stuff done. I refuse to spend my weekends doing chores the entire time and not have any downtime. Good for you for calling in sick and having fun on the field trip 🙂
I agree Amy! I hate taking my whole weekend to do chores. No fun!
I’ll confess that it’s 6:30, I just got all three kids in bed and I’m not planning on getting of this bed, except for maybe to get food to eat, until morning 🙂
I don’t blame you girl! We mama’s need downtime every now and then. 🙂
I learned a lot! I didn’t realize you worked – I thought you stayed home with K!
I love your blog and the way it looks. Simple and classy which makes it easy to read. 🙂 And darn it we don’t live closer… you could bake and I could eat it. 😉 I like to cook but hate to bake. But LOVE to eat! Ha! Hope you have a great week!
I can relate to lots of these! Give yourself a break and drink that cocoa!! I too want to live in workout clothes–and do most days!!
So glad you could be with A on her field trip today! Totally worth the sick day!
I wish I could. If I didn’t have to go to work believe me, I would.
I actually don’t feel that well, but didn’t want to miss her first field trip. It’s a big one. 🙂
It sounds like you need a break.
Sickies unite! I’m super sick right now. I seriously don’t know how I’ve gotten through the past few days. Evan has been out of town, so that just heightened my “feeling sick and overwhelmed” bug. I’m certain it’s bronchitis too.
I love Game of Thrones. Still need to watch season 4 – what an awesome, awesome series.
Wishing you well my friend.
xoxo
PS – WordPress can add up but if you find a cheap host it’s no biggie. However, you’ve been waffling about whether you want to blog or not… switching to WordPress is not going to help you with that. There’s a bit more time with maintenance and such. That’s just my honest two cents worth.
Ugh! I so hear you when it comes to a job you don’t like. The job I had right before I got married and a little in my first pregnancy was like that. I thought I liked it and then I realized it wasn’t fulfilling at all. I hope you figure something out with that but something that you will really love…I know you said once that you all really needed the money from that job so I hope you find something you love and something that brings in that extra. 🙂 Try one recipe a week? I so love when you share recipe ideas on the blog. I hope you figure out a way to get started trying them soon. 🙂
Hmmm…what to confess…that I feel like you a lot. I can sit around all day and be fine hehe. Lately, I’ve been really into crocheting. It’s like a love I have found that I never knew existed. I’m on a crochet spree!
Oh my.. At least you confess. I just think about everything and wonder. I say go for the cognac boots!! I LOVE them! You definitely needed a break and I am glad you went on the field trip!
Have a great day! Thanks for sharing on the #SHINEbloghop this week! Cheri xo
HAHA thanks Cheri! I really do love the boots too. They are fab.
Thanks for co-hosting this week!
I love this!! And I totally feel you on the blog thing. I looked into switching to self-hosted several times but in the end I didn’t want to pay the money and I knew of so many huge, popular bloggers who were on Blogger. It’s so user friendly too. I hope you got rested and are feeling better!
