There is just always something to do. Always. Even if it is a fun thing- it's still something. I mean, "Welcome to life", right? I don't even have a kid yet- so I know my "busy, crazy, tired all the time, working non-stop, burning the candle at both ends" days are not even at their peak. But I still feel tired and (relatively) over-worked. Stop my pouting, already. Stop whining, you wimp. But . . . I just want to whine a little.
I think the true sign that I'm actually falling into the abyss of adulthood is that I am actually wanting true alone time. I'm not really an "alone" type of person. I love being with people. When I want to get away- I usually want to get away with friends. But recently I just find myself wanting 24 hours of nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to see.
That said- I have loved all the things I "have" to do, also. I love visiting with family and friends, volunteering for church, hosting guests, completing projects, teaching, going to grad school, working and feeling productive . . . but then I also just want a break from it all sometimes, too.*
Maybe I just need a nap.
*Note to all friends and family- I love you and don't want to stop seeing your lovely faces! Like I said, I just wanted to whine for a minute. Okay- I'm done.

Well honestly - what's a blog for if not to vent? Next up on my blog - why Dan is driving me crazy. That's right. I said Dan.
Maybe you need to take a "mental health day." Stay in, watch some movies and eat some chocolate. :)
i am totes with you! my favorite weekends are just doing nothing with no one (since my body is incapable of sleeping in now--what!?!)
I heart Dan.
It is called Scout Camp! A responsibility with little responsibility. Don't tell Krsten.
Agreed! I was just thinking about this whole grown up thing the other day. There are hardly times of "nothing to do" anymore.
p.s. we miss you guys! Have you eaten at Giordanno's Pizza yet? You must! :)
Oh yes- of course! Are you guys still in the "area"?
