Ug, so restless...

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Vacuumed my car out this morning and made zucchini bread and no-bake oatmeal cookies this afternoon - after running errands - and I still just feel so restless. I feel like I'm just kind of waiting around (which I guess I am). I don't know what to do with myself. It's like I can't focus on any one project for very long and I was thinking of going to the farmer's market this afternoon but it's raining now and I feel like I should conserve my energy.

I'm not miserable, just really kind of restless. Dp just sent a text saying he might be working late and working tomorrow too...ug.

Anyone else feel this way? What are you doing?

Also feeling sort of restless here to. We must be on a similar wave length today...as I also vaccumed out my car this morning and then I went to run errands and then to the coop to buy the last of the ingredients I needed to make dp and my favorite cookies tonight. We call them everything cookies. I too am trying to keep busy, but wind up with that restless feeling alot too. I guess we'll have that as we wait around for our little peanuts. I keep trying to remind myself that the baby will be born...eventually, right?

i have my restless moments -which are frequent

i sure am coming on these boards a lot today. besides that i managed to clean the back porch of some clutter and also hose down all three levels of said porch. i did some loads of laundry and a few other odd things here and there. but yeah i'm kinda bored, excited and a bit anxious i suppose (how's that for mixed emotions? lol) i have stuff to make chocolate chip cookies i'm just waiting to feel like doing that. i was thinking maybe DH and i will go on a picnic tonight at the lake.

I usually clean when I get that way or do laundry. I took the kids to the mall today. That was a big deal because I don't go to the mall. We had loads of fun though and I walked the entire mall. Sure wish all that walking would do something.

I have been spending money to pass the time. I keep finding reasons to run to the store. Today I "had" to go to Target to buy a few bins to organize some clutter... Then I "had" to go to Trader Joe's to pick up some ingredients to make brunch on Sunday, which I decided to host for Grandparent's Day. I'll have my parents and siblings as well as my in laws over. It will make my third hosting of a meal in the past week and a half. Having people over helps distract me from my impatience and misery.

I am also spending SOOOOO much more time on the computer than usual.. I probably log about two hours a day lately.

Tomorrow I plan to take on the task of trying to duplicate my Kangaroo Korner adjustable pouch sling with some fabric I picked up last week. I have a friend who borrowed mine and loved it, but not the $60-something price tag. Thought I'd surprise her with her own....

I am so exhausted with WAITING. Fortunately, my days seem to be flying by. With my daughter in Kindergarten now, I have a lot of time to myself and I seem to have no trouble wasting it away.....

yup, definitely restless. i find myself searching for things to clean or organize or make. even with dd around, i still think that i should be doing something. today we cleaned up around the house AGAIN, finished up some paperwork that i needed to send out, made some little 'houses' for our toads in the gardens, made a huge veggie pie for dinner, headed to the farmer's market (but it was rained out), and here i am. i am driving myself nuts. my boss came to visit today and commented on how everything is just in it's place. i am a psycho!

there is no laundry to be done, no trash to take out, no organizing to be done, nothing, i did it all! i wish that it could always be like this.

what should i do tomorrow???? hopefully have a baby!:
