Out and about | Pad Patter 1.7.18

I’ve been chauffeuring my homeschooled kids to their various activities for so many years now I don’t remember what it’s like to stay home for days in end. I don’t know what my limit would be. I do love my home comforts; I have homebody tendencies and I’m an introvert. But I love going places too.
 
I don’t mind 2-3 days at a time home but then I get antsy and need to go out even if it’s just for errands. Typically I go out 2-3 times a week with 1-2 times on my own and the rest with my mum (otherwise I’d never see her outside of before/after work). We try and do something fun once a week - lunch/dinner out, shopping, going to a basketball game etc
 
I am still inside since Wednesday afternoon with this snow. It is supposed to warm up this aternoon so here I am Monday hoping I can go out around 2 that the roads will be better from the ice and snow (having it melt a bit with the warmer temps) and go to the grocery so I can get COFFEE! I am getting to the end of the coffee without pulling out the instant so I am looking forward to going out later!!

I love staying home. My issue is that I start feeling guilty... so, we head out to do things for the boys. I'd be all happy, reading, scrapping, watching a movie, doing my things at home, etc... but not if they are sitting around too! lol! The only thing is right now, we walk the dog... so we all take turns freezing our tushes off. DH gets stir crazy... but I would be happy!

Saturday I (DH was working) took the boys sledding for 2 hours (freaking BRRRRR!!!!) and then they played at a friends house for 3 hours outside, and that evening we went out to dinner with friends. Sunday we had soccer/grocery/errands. Every so often I need a lazy do nothing day, and then they can have one too!

That's when I start to panic...when the coffee gets low!

yes.. Hubby said he will drive to the grocery... our side roads are still horrid and I can only stretch the coffee so far! LOL :)
 
I'm a homebody. I could stay home for days if it was just me and I had plenty of food, movies to watch and scrappin to do. However, I go stir crazy when I'm home with the rest of the family for more than 2 or 3 days. Then, I gotta get out and go do the grocery shopping or something by myself... hehe
 
I used to love spending time at home alone, doing whatever. But this last week I’ve been feeling antsy. I’ve been acting more then normal when I have days off and at night I actually feel bored. What’s that about? Am I loosing my introvert-ness?! Do I need people to be happy?!
