To put it nicely, I've had some trouble adjusting to life in Rexburg, on top of being newly married. Today in enrichment we went over the ABC's of homemaking. Pretty self explanatory, each letter is a topic like "C" for cooking, "B" for budgeting, ect.
I just sat there, wide eyed the whole time, tying not to look guilty.
Everything was very informative, but it all seemed to rub in how unhousewifey I am.
Budgeting is all well and good, but our financial plan is: pay tithing, reward ourselves once in a while, but spend AS LITTLE as possible. And that seems two work for us.
Cooking is something I love, but is time and money consuming. So I only do it on nights that Matt and I are both home, which is like......one, maybe two nights a week. And I'm not a good enough wife to get up at five and make him breakfast. He would much rather lay in bed for ten minutes and cuddle.
With cooking came nutrition. Okay, nutrition is great, but doesn't really coincide with my slacker lifestyle. I am so psychoanxious (yes I just made up my own word.) that worrying about how many carbs are in my cereal and fretting over whether or not I'm getting the right serving of vegatables each day is just rediculous. My mind is already preoccupied with how Matt is doing in school, what crazy notion my mother is going to call me up with, and how I'm going to get things done, I don't need anymore crammed in there. Whenever I want to loose wait, I just skip dessert and eat less. (a lot less) Which may not be the most "healthy" process, but it works for me.
And excersize? Please. The way I see it, running around with pre-schoolers for ten hours a week tests your body, mind, and paitence to it's fullest limits. Add 100 crunches to that everyday for a slim waist, and I'm good to go. I don't need to run three miles a day or trick my lazy husband into joining a gym.
Don't ask me how much I actually weigh. I honestly have no idea. If it's too little, I'll obess over it. If it's too much, I'll obess over it.
Ignorance is bliss. Sometimes.

Oh Connie you make me smile! We really should go more often but look at us the time we did go, we both participated :)! We will have to drag each other along! Maybe Cold stone incentives? lol! What does your weekend look like?
P.S. Thanks so much for the candy! It made my night and seeing you made me less stressed out, since we both have been busy trying to get homework done!
