So What Does a Stay at Home Mom With No Kids Do You Ask?

Some of you may be wondering what a stay at home mom with no kids does all day (okay, probably none of you are wondering that, but I needed something to blog about today) so I am here to inform you. 

I generally get out of bed between 8am and 9:30am.  I used to be much more committed to sleeping in (occasionally even till 10am or 11am); however, as my girth has expanded it's become increasingly uncomfortable for me to sleep.  Plus I'm always starving when I wake up.  I get up, on average, 3 to 4 times a night to pee and usually around my 3am trip to the bathroom I think "how is it not morning yet" because my hips hurt so bad from laying on my sides.  Like excruciatingly painful, may need a hip replacement when this is all done, pain.  It takes me 20 minutes to roll from one side to the other and I usually get stuck on my back.  The hip pain does not allow me to use my legs in any kind of helpful fashion to propel myself from left to right side or vice versa so I sort of flop around like a dying fish.  Luckily, we have one of those fancy coil-less mattresses and Paul doesn't even bat his sweet little sleeping eyes with all my tossing and turning.  Coupled with the fact that I have to sleep propped up on 2 large pillows so I don't choke to death on my own stomach acid during the night...well, sleep is not the joyous occasion it used to be.  It then takes me 5 minutes of hip thrusting and rolling once I get out of bed to pop my left hip back into place (I'm not sure when I turned into a 90 year old woman).  I won't even scare you with the night sweats...let's just say Paul said he has to shower every morning because he sleeps next to the Loch Ness Monster.  :( 

Now that I'm not confined to the house I do shower, get dressed, brush my hair, and put on make up every day.  Impressive I know.  I'm sure the rest of the world thanks me for that as well. 

Downstairs for breakfast and the Today Show.  I typically spend every morning from 11am to 12pm watching Kathie Lee & Hoda.  I like them so much because I secretly think they hate each other hence the need for every day to have some kind of alcohol theme.  I'm waiting to see Hoda punch Kathie Lee in the face. 

Occasionally I do make forays into the outside world.  Today I went to Panera Bread for a pastry and decaf coffee, followed by the library (I only got 2 books last week thinking I'd have a baby by now--haha jokes on me!), and then Wendy's for lunch. 

As our fabulous cleaning lady hasn't been here in a couple weeks (again because I thought I'd have given birth by now and didn't want to have to cancel on her) I spent most of the afternoon cleaning.  I vacuumed (okay, the roomba vacuumed, but I did mop the floor and vacuum the basement), cleaned the kitchen and bathroom countertops, put away the laundry I did yesterday, did the dishes, and got the paper recycling ready to go to the paper recycling donation thing...whew!  After all that I was sore and tired. 

I spent the rest of the day sitting on the couch, eating Cadbury eggs, reading my blogs, Facebook, and read my book until it was time to make dinner.  Oh, and I let the dogs out every 2 hours.  Whoohoo.

Tomorrow my very exciting life includes going to the ob and that's pretty much it.  That is what a stay at home mom with no kids does all day.  Jealous yet?
