day 328

ugh. i feel so unmotivated and TIRED and bleh lately. because i'm a substitute teacher, i don't have any work until august rolls around. that means, my days are FREE! which sounds lovely, right? wrong. well, kinda wrong. i love sleeping in, running errands, hanging out with beak, etc. but... i have a BAD habit of getting distracted and sucked into things that rot my brain (i.e. facebook, tv, facebook, tv, laying on my bed, staring at walls, etc). i hate it! i have this amazing library card and a STACK of books lying on my dresser, and yet i've only finished one. i really wanted to start STUDYING my scriptures (not just reading them), and yet they've begun to collect dust. i have rosetta stone and want to learn portuguese so i can converse with my hubbie and give him one more reason why we should go to brazil. i have this fancy new yoga dvd i want to try out, as well as a free gym membership (thank you blake), but still feel unmotivated. does anyone else ever get like this? you would think being a young, married lady with no children would take major advantage of all this free time since she'll never have it again once babies come along, but here i am, mrs. lazy roskelley. i hate it. help me out of this rut!
