Bored...

My days have become very tedious and yes... a bit boring. I am tied to the house twice a day for Chase's naps and my days begin at 6ish and end around 7:30 (that is with the kid part). Outside of trying to stimulate and teach my kids all day, there are also plenty of "chores" to do around the house - laundry (I seriously think I did four loads yesterday due to Landon wetting his bed), sweeping, vacuuming, feeding the boys, cleaning up after feeding the boys, emptying the dishwasher (which I did at 6:30 this morning), and just generally trying to keep the entire house free of clutter - not including the toys. Today I found myself vacuuming the cracks in my driveway as Landon was playing in the sandbox and Chase was sleeping. Yes, vacuuming. There was plenty to vacuum - those pesky little tree "droppings" that look like worms but crumble when you pick them up, were stuffed every which way in every L-O-N-G driveway crack. Although annoying to have them there, it was not really necessary. But it was an excellent time filler to give Landon his "independent play time" and to keep the boredom from creeping in on me.
