Thinking Out Loud

So this is just kind of a think out loud kind of post, I'm not even sure If I'm really going to post it or not, it's just nice sometimes to put things in words. So off and on lately I've been feeling awfully bored and discouraged. To be honest I really know this is just Satan working on me. I've really been trying to be good and read my scriptures and even do family home evening, which are two things I've wanted to get into the habit of doing for a long time. So I know this is just Satan trying to discourage me and make me feel like I need more out of life and that my life is boring. Anyway so I've really been trying to sit down and set goals, and maybe ideas of things to do, but then the thought of money pops into my mind and realize I can't do all these things. I think my biggest thing is I tend to be a bit of a loner, which I'm ok with to an extent. Ok I don't know if loner is the best description, I'm shy and I have hard time putting myself out there to make friends. I have casual friends, but no one I'm comfortable enough to just call up. So don't feel bad for me, this isn't a wallow session or a please call me kind of thing I'm just putting my feelings into words allowing myself to realize why I'm really feeling like I'm in a slump and what I can do about it. Anyway please don't feel bad for me I'm assuming everyone goes through similar feelings I'm just saying it out loud:O.

A Few of My Favorite Things

Parker was soo dirty after this, but it was worth the fun:)
This ones called mom making dad watch Parker and this is what happens
One of Parker's newest spots to get into
Helping mom with the laundry
Playing with our favorite puppy
Spitting out the flower he just ate
Helping in the kitchen
Finding mom's chocolate stash
And another one of Parker's favorite things, next to the toilet paper of course:)

As you can tell Parker is into everything these days:) Everyday I'm amazed at the things he learns and how much he's changes everyday. He's just started standing up with out the help of anything and is soo close to walking, he just doesn't have the guts yet:) Just today I was amazed to watch him crawl around the whole backyard. Usually he sticks to the cement patio, but today he was all over. Of course he decides to do this right after it's rained. Yes, I'm an awful mom and let him play outside today when it was kinda cold, but it makes him so happy so what the heck! So this is how we spend our days around here lately.
