I have been thinking lately on the transient nature of my stay at home adventure. I signed Agnes (name totally changed to protect the somewhat innocent) up for kindergarten and I can't imagine that I will stay home for much longer than it takes for her to start first grade, so the clock is ticking. Plus, next year I will likely have a smidge more time than I currently do as she will be in school all five days of the week and I will not be driving quite so far for her to attend. When those facts are combined with the occasional feeling that my life has been swallowed by mommyhood and my brain is rotting from partaking in very little that is more mentally strenuous than reading The Cat in the Hat for the umpteenth time, I realized that it was time to work on some thing that will get me out of the rut I am currently in.
My goal is to take this next year and try things that I have always meant to do that I have always had an excuse for avoiding. I will shoot to try something new for five days and report back my findings on whether it is something that I will continue to do. I would like to say I will do this every single week without fail, but let's be honest....that's not likely to happen. But I will endeavor to do it often.
Hobbies to try will be given 1 hour a day on average. I think I can manage an hour....either when A. is at school, I will do some of them with her, or I will wait until she is sleeping when that is a viable option. Let the adventure begin!
