Home Alone...

...with no idea what to do today! So far time's a wasting because it's 11:00 and I haven't even managed to get myself ready for the day. I'm sitting here on the couch doing nothing instead, with Shena laying on my feet (a funny place for her to be, since she isn't technically allowed on the couch) and Toby by my side. Josh is off helping Sterling film his final project for school. So what shall I do? I SHOULD clean the house. It is such a disaster - especially after Toby helped himself to the paper that was inside the diaper bag I bought yesterday. He loves a good paper-shredding session! The one thing I know I have to do is laundry, at the very least.


I would love to work on the nursery some more, but at the moment I think I've done about everything I can. I have to wait another paycheck or six before I have the money to buy anything else. Yesterday we did take the closet door down (it took up too much space) and replace it with this adorable curtain:

And I can't wait to get the rest of the wall decals up either. Love that elephant above the changing table!


I'm feeling very frustrated by "work" right now. It is work. It's just work at home. I really enjoy it, for the most part, but at the moment I only have one consistent client and the articles they want are so boring! They take all creativity out of the writing process. Ridiculous. I really am trying to find more clients, or at least an occasional fun job here and there, but I guess I need more patience for that.


Josh is currently enjoying some freedom from school, though he has to decide tonight whether he wants to take summer classes or not. He has procrastinated the decision, and the summer term starts tomorrow. The problem is that finals week happens to be the same week the baby is due, and we're not sure how well that will work out. If he doesn't do school, he may try to find a second, temporary summer job to help earn some extra money. He is on the job hunt for a more permanent job as well, since the church decided to merge the distribution center and Deseret Book (which is not owned by the church) and all distribution center employees are being laid off at an undetermined point in time (by the end of the year). We're keeping our fingers crossed that he can find something good.


That is about our life in a nutshell right now. School, work and baby! It's not much but we love it anyway. Aside from the work part...would be nice if we were independently wealthy and didn't have to worry about that. Who doesn't want that though?
