Bored with my home life...

Posted Monday, July 21, 2008 4:39 PM

So lately I have been feeling like I need something more.  Work is fine.  It doesn't make me jump for joy but it pays the bills and I don't completely dread going in everyday, plus the schedule is much better than my old job.  Jamie is good.  He grates on my very last nerve sometimes (seriously you couldn't have asked me to get you advil before I sat down?!?!) but I love him and wouldn't want to live in the crazy world without him.  I just want something else to do.  As I mentioned in previous posts, Jamie's commute is killer and when the weekend rolls around he ONLY wants to relax and do what little I request of him (carrying the laundry and sometimes driving me to do grocery shopping).  Generally if I get bored I will go and find something to do...but this often results in me spending money at the mall (not a good thing). 

So, last week I started looking into things that I could do that would not only fill my time but also fulfill me...I don't know...otherwise??  Spiritually??  I was raised Mormon (not the crazy ones that have 15 wives..ask questions if you like, I can clarify the difference) but since turing 18 I have stopped going.  I know that I would like to start going to church again but I am not sure that the Mormon church is the one that I would like to return to and further I don't want to go by myself but Jamie is not into going at this point.  So, I am looking into being a baby cuddler.  I LOVE babies and to me there is nothing better than sitting quietly with a soft cuddly baby in your arms.  I love talking to them and making them feel secure and maybe it will cure my baby fever.  Stick out tongue  I am also looking into walking dogs for Animal Shelters...this one I might even be able to get Jamie involved in!

Anyway our weekend was pretty good.  It was hot as balls here and I didn't get to do anything outside.  I would have loved to gone walking or atlease tossed the football around but it was too blasted hot.  Jamie ended up with a migraine yesterday and again this morning.  Needless to say he is home..not getting paid but that is a whole different post!

Hopefully this last 45 minutes of work goes quick!

re: Bored with my home life...

I wrote a very similar blog entry this week! I have been trying to find something more fulfilling in my life since work just doesn't cut it completely. I would really like to do more with my life and help others more. My husband is Mormon so we attend church. I am actually now a part of the activities committee so that has taken up a bit of my time but I don't know, I feel a lot of pressure when it comes to the Mormon church (everyone always seems so perfect and the missionaries never stop trying) so it's been hard staying active and heading up the activities...but nevertheless it is rewarding and has been fulfilling...but I still would like to do more community activities.

Volunteering at the animal shelter sounds like a cool thing to do!  I don't think I would be able to do it though, I would want to take all the animals home with me! Good luck finding something that interests both of you!

I was raised mormon too but no longer am part of that.  I attend church with my parents for holidays, well only Christmas and fathers day. Jade23 you are so right on how they all seem so perfect, growing up I would say they were all playing a game of "holier then thou".  I'm not trying to be mean towards mormons and I often feel the need to defend them when others speak ill of that religion but it isn't for me.  

I thought of walking dogs for the local animal shelter too but then I realized I would want to adopt them all so I couldn't do it. good luck with finding something that interest you.

re: Bored with my home life...

Jade and S&R...I completely agree with you both.  I value the lessons that I learned growing up in the Mormon religion and often defend it in discussions but some how felt like I was never "good" enough.  They all pretend to be perfect but I have an idea that it's all just a front.

I was going to say something, but then I saw that you said "It was hot as balls "  and I laughed a bunch, now I can't remember what I had to say :)

Migraines SUCK!  The heat will do that to me sometimes too, so I feel for him!

re: Bored with my home life...

That is very interesting that others feel the same way about the Mormon church as I do - I just thought I felt that way because I am a bit of an "outsider." They are all just so good at everything and are almost too nice...it's hard keeping up and impossible to really relax with them. Of course, I would/will always defend them as well in a discussion!
