I'm Currently Feeling: | Well i play online. I am obsessed with home shows, so watch those. I run errands. I make lunch for my DH as he works from home. I plan dinner. Work on the baby's room, as I am doing lots myself. I am a housewife, so I am used to being at home. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Tell me about it. My days off were today and tomorrow and I was so bored today to the point that I couldn't be bothered doing anything, even though there was plenty I could have been doing, if you know what I mean. Tomorrow will be ok cause Rachel's off school but today I just sat at the computer and only put one load of washing on.
Although physically will be looking forward to maternity leave, I'm thinking what am I gonna do with myself. x | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I go on internet, do some work around the house (laundry, cooking, cleaning) watch some tv and movies...
Now I'm on a cooking marathon, I'm cooking lots of things and freeze them. I know I won't have the energy to cook when baby arrives, it will be easier to defrost something than start cooking.
Sometimes it's pretty boring, especially when OH is away and I'm home alone. My dogs are great company. | | | | Status: Online

| I'm on bedrest, so I usually look like this  . I'm about to go nuts. I am a computer addict. I read a lot (of baby mags), and I've actually been crocheting (which is hillarious...shows how bored I am). | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | When I stopped working, I finished the nursery, washed all of the baby clothing and diapers, sorted out the hospital bags and cleaned everything around the apartment.
Now I have no idea what to do on a daily basis except for hang here and at other online attractions :S | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I'm a housewife too, but it's seeming to drag more now that I'm pg. Some days I work in the nursery, others I go shopping, but walking around that long is starting to get uncomfy..and I'm not gonna fit in the driver's seat for much longer. I also have 4 cats and a dog to take care of, so taht takes some time. I COULD clean more, but...eh. | | | | Status: Offline
