Time On My hands...
I am still adjusting to having ALL of my kids in school. For the past eleven years I have had at least one little buddy at home to keep me company. Today I find myself walking in circles, wondering what I should do with myself. I know I should probably just enjoy the moment but all of a sudden I am realizing that until Lauren graduates from High School, I have to find something to do during school hours. I am tempted to get a job but it is so important to me to be home when my kids are home and a job may interfere with that. It's not likely that I would find a job that would work me strictly during school hours, plus give me all of the school holidays and vacation times off (unless the job was actually at a school). It kills me to think of my kids coming home to an empty house or sitting home alone when they have a day off. I'm sure eventually I will come up with something productive and enjoyable to do. After all, I have plenty of time on my hands to think about it.

Kasey, I always think "only three years until I have all day to do what ever!" Although I am enjoying the time we have right now. I do some of the projects I enjoy, but only at night when everyone is asleep, soon though I will get to do them during the day. Is there a hobby you think you'd like to learn? You were really good at scrap booking, do you want to pick up on that again? What about some classes during the day? Have you ever tried wood work? what about an instrument? Or even a nap!!?? Just a few ideas. LOL.
Michelle, I used to be able to think of all kinds of things I would do when the kids were in school but all of a sudden I've gone blank. It just still feels weird to have big blocks of time to fill. Taking some classes apeals to me. I think I would really like to look into taking photography classes. That's the only thing I've really come up with yet.
That's funny. I can't imagine having a single spare second on my hands right now. Maybe you should be called as RS president or something.
I think you have a real talent in photography. Maybe you could continue doing something with that and have a small part-time business taking pictures. A girl in my ward is going to the local preschools (the ones taught out of someones home) and is taking their school pictures. Just an idea.
