After what seems like years to him, I've promised my hubby that we could stay home today. This is going to be a rough day for that because again, it is SO beautiful outside!
You see, I am naturally a street rat. I have always been, even as a baby my mom said I was happier running the streets with her than I was being at home. So I'm guessing that it's in my blood to always be on the go since it was my mom that was always going too. ;-) It's hard for me to stay at home unless I have something specific that I'm working toward. (Deep cleaning for the holidays and family coming up, planning an event or doing projects around the house like planting a garden or building new shelves.)
What makes this especially hard is that I no longer live back home. It's been almost 3 years since we moved to Texas, but I still haven't made any REAL friends. Sure we've got friends that we chat with when we see them and that we occasionally get together with, but none that are the "hang out on a regular basis, let's go shopping together, invite yourself over for dinner" kind of friends that we have back home. Which means that I don't have the kind of friends here that I can call at a moment's notice and say, "Want to go to Wal-mart?". So that leaves it all to my husband...and boy oh boy does he hate it. LOL He is NOT a street rat. He's a homebody the likes of which I've never seen before. He'd be happy to sit at home all day, every day for weeks on end. Can you see how this doesn't mesh well for either of us? LOL
So here I sit today, itching to get out of this house and enjoy the world, but keeping my word to my hubby that we will indeed spend one whole entire day without having to get in the car and go somewhere.
Except maybe to the 7 Eleven around the corner for a coconut slurpee...
;-)
