no idle hands
"i can't find ANYTHING to do"
moms everywhere hate hearing those words. mostly they hear them in the summer. sometimes it isn't long before school is back on the calendar and Saturday morning is filled with those words. winter comes around and that familiar line comes with it.
i really don't remember being bored too often as a child. really i don't. i guess i should ask my Mother, maybe she would have a different story but i had many interests, as i remember things.
i don't think i've changed much.
i liked to read one book right after another.
i loved crafts and was interested in many different types. i always had 2 or 3 projects going.
i really didn't know the first thing about cooking but i loved to bake. by 8th grade i made most of the baked goods in the house. chocolate chip cookies, cakes, pies, candy, christmas cookies, quick breads... and in the summers did canning and made jellies when i visited my Grandmother on the farm.
i loved organizing and re-organizing my little bedroom.
dreaming and looking through the Sear's and JCPenney's catalogs.
not a lot has changed. i do most of the same things with my free time now.
some of the projects have changed a bit but they still leave no room for idle hands.
i read as much as i can.
i don't bake as much but that's only because it's just me and hubby and our waistlines would suffer. as soon as i hear of company coming out come the pots and pans.
i love to move the furiture around, just for the heck of it.
and magazine and catalogs are my greatest downfall. just ask my poor mailman!
