So I realize this isn't a new problem for me but it is a little different. I have too much time. Jonathan and I decided to get more disciplined so now I wake up at 5 am every morning and by about 11 I have cleaned the house or done some chores and I am totally ready for the day and Little Jon is sleeping. I feel really accomplished so I am not depressed just bored. I finished reading my book series and I guess I could read another but I wanted to know if anyone else had any fun ideas or games that they do when they are bored. I am getting to the point where I am saving chores for other days so that I have something to do. Like "I can't clean up the craft room today because I already organized the pantry and threw out the food we wont eat or has gone bad." I think it is kind of funny and also ridiculous. I realize that in like 5 years I would kill to have this life back but I have realized that as hard as it is to be really busy it is just as hard to have nothing to do. So really I think one of the tests of life is to be happy where you are and with your situation because you will never be in that same exact situation again.
On a side note Little Jon got sick really bad last night with a fever. He was so miserable but Jonathan just came home from work and held him all night long doing whatever it took to make him feel better. It was super sweet to watch. He was so loving and gentle, it warmed my heart.

Summertime
Summertime is a hard time at the Baird house. Jonathan and I are really big fans of the cold, in fact we find heat pretty much unbearable. Call me a wimp but anything over 85 and I am just done. So we often get bored during the summer because we love being outside but it is too hot to justify being out there. We are trying to find different free hobbies that we can do together because recently our answer to "what do you want to do tonight" is often, "I guess just watch another movie." We are in a rut lol If anyone has any good ideas of free or extremely cheap hobbies to do together we are more then open to them. This also proves to be a problem with me and getting work done. I have some jobs that need to be one but they are in the office which is all windows and therefore very hot or in the garage which is just as hot if not worse and so I have to do them early in the morning or after Jonathan gets home from work which is our be together time. I don't know maybe I just need to say suck it up, and I won't be offended if anyone really does say that to me.

Baby Proofing
So now that my son is quite mobile, I have need to start thinking about baby proofing our house and keeping it a little cleaner, since now anything on the floor ends up in his mouth. Little Jon also has a new favorite pastime, pulling out our carpet. he crawls right to the edge from the dinning room to the kitchen which goes from carpet to wood and he rips out all the carpet on the edge and eats it. This usually causes him to choke, which is always exciting. And I now find little chunks of carpet everywhere to the point where it seems impossible to pick all of them up. Oh well, we were planning on replacing that carpet with wood floor anyway, right?
