Boredom
I have been booooooored. There hasn't been much to do around here since Christmas. We all got sick. Adriel and I weren't as bad as Kyle and Sloan, but we each had a bad day of lying around or two. Things have been closed due to holidays and there just isn't a lot to do with kids when it's FREEZING outside.
Yesterday I tried. Adriel was asking to go outside and play. I suggested we get bundled up. Kyle was anti. "It's so cold outside!" he said. I was all, we'll bundle up and the exercise of playing in the snow will keep us warm. I was desperate for some exercising endorphins (I really need to hit the gym!) and I thought some fresh air could be good for us who had been cooped up all week. How bad could it be?
It was bad. It was soooo cold. The freezing wind instantly bit at our faces. We lasted five minutes of walking before we turned around to go home. Adriel balled all the way home. Partly because we weren't going to play outside and party because he was so cold. (which reminds me, as a side note the other day he told me that the cold was biting his ears, ha ha).
Even though we have been pretty bored, I'm still not looking forward to Kyle starting school again this week. It has been so nice having him around. He lets me sleep in in the mornings. He let's me take naps if I'm tired (which ironically, I have been exhausted. From what? Doing nothing? I know I was sick and I was taking care of a sick baby this week, but I have been so tired) We hang out and watch things. We hang out and play with the kids, and even if we are bored, it has been relaxing.
But then I live in a barren frozen waste land, and sometimes when we're out I say "I can't believe you moved me to this!" I'm allowed to say things like that, right?
I feel like I should share something that I don't really feel like explaining much of right now. Kyle has switched out of the design program and is going back into engineering. He wants to go somewhere along the lines of structural engineering, which still has design elements in it and things. There are better schooling options and he's realized he's happier doing that sort of thing. Is that an adequate enough explanation?
I realized that I forgot to do Sloan's birthday post. I should get on that.
Any suggestions for the boredom rut I'm stuck in?
