So I don’t really have much of an answer to that question. I come up with ideas to blog all the time, but by the time I’m near my computer again, they’ve faded away. To be honest I’ve spent very little time online in general the past couple weeks. I’ve been trying to focus more on family-time. I’m not sure how successful I’ve been, but I’ll keep trying.
What I have managed to accomplish though is crossing several more items off my list. Most notable, to me anyhow, is one of my freebies. I’ve long wanted to recycle more but it was made difficult that the county recycling program only collects plastic. Sure it’s great to recycle all that plastic, but what about everything else like paper and aluminum? However, the city has finally started putting out collection bins for these items as well. They may not be collecting at the door like the do plastic, but they are making it much more accessible for everyone else. So much so that my husband thinks I’m recycling everything in sight. I’m feeling pretty good about myself for even remembering to bring home my recycling from work (ie, boxes from my snack crackers and granola bars).
I’m also hoping to cross another item off my list tomorrow. I’m not sure which one yet, but it’s likely going to be either “attend a gallery opening” or visiting Fallingwater and/or Kentuck Knob. You see Monday is my seven year wedding anniversary. Since both my husband and I will be at work Monday, we decided to celebrate tomorrow instead. It’s not quite clear what we were doing. Initially my husband was going to plan the day out and surprise me but apparently none of his ideas panned out, so we’ll be discussing some ideas once he gets home from the hockey game (which the Pens won 5-4, overcoming a 0-3 deficit!). Regardless of what we decide to do with our day, it is certain to include lunch or dinner at the Melting Pot, our favorite romantic meal location. We didn’t make it out there at all last year, so I’m really looking forward to it. A nice dinner and a child-free day. What could be better.
Okay, so that last statement sounds really bad. It’s not to say I don’t love every moment I get to spend with my boys. I cherish everyone of them. Even the not so pleasant ones when Maks is screaming because I’m not feeding him quickly enough or Nikolas is smarting off. But, it’s good to get some adult time. And a whole afternoon alone is a big improvement than the few minutes we’re able to snatch between the time the boys go to bed and we shut our own eyes.
