july 29

i don't think most people would believe just how boring my days are. i check my watch maybe 20 times and calculate the exact percentage of the day i have completed; and therefore, determine how much is left. i try to cheer myself up by remembering what a blessing my job has been, but sometimes this only goes so far. of course, a job change at this point isn't really an option- i mean, i'd rather endure a year or so more of boredom in this job than begin looking elsewhere. oh well.. it's especially hard though when there are so many things that need to be done at home. but, it could be a lot worse, right?
 
anyway, been thinking a lot lately about becoming a parent. i think i'm finally at the point in my life where pregnancy, childbirth, childrearing all make sense. and, for the first time, it's not such an overwhelming idea. thank goodness! now, it's just a matter of time... i've worried a little that my desire (small as it may be) to plunge into parenthood is a reaction to or a symptom of my lack of happiness at work. but then i remember i haven't been happy at my job for 4.5 years, and i've never before warmed up to the idea of having children. so, it seems legitimate.

well, i'm glad to hear that you're warming up to the idea. i think you'd make a great parent. some kids deserve to have you as their mom.

sorry that your job is so boring. well, hopefully you won't have to work there full-time too much longer. at least you're making good money... it would be even worse if the pay wasn't any good. at least we're getting to enjoy some of the fruits of our labor, like furniture and stuff.
