Bummed and Bored

I really have nothing interesting to blog about. No themes or excitement. I am blogging just to be blogging. I am bummed and bored. And you know what they say, misery loves company.

Why am I bummed, you might want to know. I don't know. Nothing in particular. It's just one of those days where it takes too much effort not to be. Have you ever had one of those days? We left the house at 8:45 this morning and got home at 4:00. Trey had a basketball game at 9:00, then we went to Wal-Mart to get some birthday gifts and a baby gift. We left Wal-Mart, ran through McDonalds and then went to Mamaw's. My cousin Matthew and his girlfriend were coming over with their new baby, who will be called Junior. He is such a cute baby. But no, it does not make me want another one. We left there to go to Clayson's batting practice from 12:00 to 1:00 and went back to Mamaw's to visit before having to go to Trey's last basketball game at 2:00. Back to the gym then back to Mamaw's where I was in a rush to get Clayson and Ashlyn and get home. Papaw had his projector fixed so they wanted us to watch an old film of my mom when she was a baby. It was neat to see and I wanted so many things that they used to have in my new house. Vintage and meaningful. I'll save that conversation with them for another day. I was ready to get home.

We get home and I attempt to clean out the car which is a pile of laundry from the boys shedding their outerwear as soon as they get in the car. I put the sheets in the dryer and the car clothes in the washer. Trey wants to finish the game of pool that he and Clayson started this morning, Clayson doesn't want to because Trey never wants to play with him. Argue, fuss and fight. Ashlyn is mad because I went to Wal-Mart and did not get any string cheese. I get out the cherry cheese cake and finish it off with a Dr. Pepper. Trey says we need more Golden Crisp cereal. Yes, I took my medicine - thankfully.

I want to think about the house but Jared does not get in a hurry to make decisions on decor. We went to Home Depot last night to browse around after a disgusting dinner at Pasados. Jared has the flu. We looked at appliances and he was a little enthused about those but the bathroom sinks, doors, lighting and paint were of no interest to him. On the other hand, this is what I like to think about. He walks around silently looking and I have no idea what he is thinking. I grabbed some paint colors that I have been considering but have not been in the mood to look at them since. It's just so overwhelming. I know Jared is having to do all of the behind the scenes work and I am thankful that he has the time and skill to do this. I am just ready to make some decisions on the interior design. Now I know why Cathy Clugston wanted to do this for a living.

We leave for Disney World in nine days and I am trying to get excited about that. I look forward to going but just can't think about all I will need to do to prepare for this. So yes, I am bummed but I should not be bored. Being bummed makes me not want to do anything but sit on the couch, get on the internet and listen to the TV. And see what else I can finish off in the refrigerator.
