- I can't motivate myself to do anything. Seriously. I don't want to scrapbook, cook, clean, go to the store, or anything else.
- My kids are driving. me. crazy. Back-to-school CANNOT come soon enough.
- I can't stop eating. This is probably part of the problem. I have been eating a lot of junk. Until yesterday. I might have got it under control. For now.
- I am tired. Even though I am getting enough sleep. I guess I'm not getting enough exercise. ugh. Exercise.
So, as in the past, in an effort to remind myself of my blessings and the good things in my life...
- Bryan's business is going well. They are busy. And busy means some money.
- Air Conditioning. Today was 100+ and it is supposed to be as well.
- A stack of good books. Nothing beats escaping reality with a good book. ;-)
- Chicken Enchiladas. Made them for dinner. Delicious!
- The sky. Do you ever really look at it? Here it seems so big. I guess because there aren't mountains to block the view. It seems never-ending and with the clouds, and the light or the stars, it is beautiful.
- An upcoming trip to the beach. Sounds like heaven.
How's your week? Anything your especially grateful for right now?

Oh man Amanda, I'm dying here too. I've been trying to keep my kids busy but they're bored of swimming and anything to do with our house. I've had kids over to play everyday and toys are everywhere. My husband has not been coming home until after 10pm and I'm feeling it.
But, I am still thankful for a lot of things and feeling funky out here in CA is a good thing because I love my funk and classic soul music. "We love the funk, gotta have that funk. OW!" Just a little lyrical pick me up. No one listens to the same music I do so I doubt you'll hear it the same way as me. But its OK to be Funky!
It's been that way here too, my friend. Be it PMS, the moon or just plain boredom I don't know, lol.
Hugs and prayers coming your way.
Ooh! Now I feel guilt for being so depressed over at my blog. I hope it's not rubbing off on people because that would stink. But then at the same time, this post give me hope (I know, I'm being selfish) because maybe my funkiness is related to the same things causing your funkiness (and Janelle's); I just need school to start or something. Interesting...
Anyway, I'm glad you counted your blessings, and I wish I could be there to see your sky and go to the beach with you. That would be so nice.
You're the best, Amanda. You truly are --I hope your funk passes by quickly and you feel yourself again soon. In the meantime, take a break --don't be motivated. Sometimes it takes a little unmotivation to build up the motivation again. :)
Isn't this where the term Dog Days Of Summer came from. 100 degrees, even with A/C, and bored people, that will do it to ya!
It's coming to an end, hang on, wallow in the funk, it won't last for long.
Go buy everyone a new coloring books and a big shiny box of crayons (colorful, pointy crayons can turn around the bluest of moods!) then lay on the floor with your kids and color. No one has to exert any more energy besides moving the crayon, the kids will love being close to you and you can zone out in the rhythm of the coloring. It's my favorite way to wallow in the dog days.
I HATE that funk feeling! It's the worst. Good for you for thinking of the good things. I need to be better with that.
This week has been good because out here in RI aug 11th is some sort of state holiday so Kris got it off. So it's been a short week. I love short weeks. If only every week only had 4 work days!
So I'm glad it's friday even though there's plenty to do saturday and sunday they're just more fun!
I hope you feel better :)
Good job at counting blessings while in a funk. I hope it passes soon. It's sad here when we look forward to a bit of rain!
Cheryl - don't feel guilt! I promise, this is a monthly thing for me. Possibly made worse by heat and the seeming never-ending Summer.
And to all, thanks so much. It is nerve-wracking to put my whole self out there. You're all so positive and friendly. You've helped to make my day great!
You are incredible Amanda. You are always able to look at what will help you feel better and make it a positive thing. That is something to be admired.
