Bored, Unmotivated, blah, blah, blah....

What in the world is up with me? I am not really down in the dumps or particularly unhappy. And usually, this time of year is very motivating to me -- the change of season, the getting into a routine -- but lately, I feel very unproductive.

In my head, I'm thinking about the sixteen thousand things I want to accomplish and would love to be doing. And then I don't do them. OR -- I spend one or two crazy days doing a bunch of things and then three or four days doing the bare minimum.

Now, as all of you who have kids know -- the bare minimum still keeps you pretty darn busy. On top of the usual daily chores and errands, we have activities every night of the week except Friday -- soccer on Saturdays -- church & Sunday school on Sundays. We're pretty busy. But as far as other projects I'd like to do -- where is my motivation??? No idea -- it's on hiatus and I need it back!

It's all good though -- I'm sure this boredom or lack of mojo or whatever the heck it is will pass.

I have not shared a quote in quite a while, so I decided to share this one with you -- it is from one of my very favorite books (possibly, my all time favorite), "The Count of Monte Cristo" --

"Until the day when God shall deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is summed up in these two words,--'Wait and hope'. " ~ Alexandre Dumas


Happy Wednesday!

It sounds to me like you need a bit of time off to regroup and re-energize. Give yourself a break, hon! (as much as you can with 3 kids) smiles...

Hope your mojo comes back. I think it's this rime of year, it still too nice to be inside all day and then with the kids in school it seems like there is a never ending list of things to do.

Hugs...DawnW

I feel your pain....no mojo but no time to even try anyway. If you are anything like me, it runs in cycles so hopefully it will be back soon and you'll get some fabulous stuff going.

Hope you get your motivation back soon. Guess we go through phazes sometimes where it's feast or famine huh?
