It feels like it’s been awhile since I’ve had a free weekend with no plans and I can spend some time at home. I looked, and the first free Saturday I had in 2013 was March 30th! I’ll have 18 free Saturday’s this year (most obviously after March) which out of 52, isn’t very many. Working 2 out of every 3 weekends is hard, but what’s worse is finding the motivation to do something at home when I do have the time. Once I’m finally not working I just want to be lazy at home. I don’t feel like I got much done this weekend because I’ve got a cold. I organized a little in my new craft room, but other than that I just lounged around with the kitties.

We’ve been living in our new house for about a month and half and I really thought we’d have more done by now. I know just a few weeks ago I was so excited about how much painting we’d accomplished, but I feel like once I stop the momentum of us getting stuff done, we end up doing nothing for a long time. I mostly feel this way because I saw this same cycle in the little house. I think I’m going to tackle painting the kitchen next, since that’s something I can do on my own. Moving in the furniture (that we don’t really have yet), and hanging stuff on the walls is something I’d really like help with since I’ve taken out my fair share of drywall with a nail and hammer. Of course this is all taking into consideration that next weekend I work, the weekend after that is J’s birthday, then it’s our last free weekend until our holiday break, where we’ll be in Nebraska. Too bad the kitties can’t hold a paint brush.
