I've been drawing a blank

The past few days I haven't written anything for my blog because I've been drawing a blank. I haven't had anything new to write about so I just didn't write anything at all.

In fact, I'm not sure I have anything to write about today, I just couldn't let my poor little blog go unnoticed for one more day.

I am unusually tired on this sunny day, and I know it is going to progress into crankiness at some point. Today is one of those days where the desire to do anything is missing. I can't find it. After a productive day yesterday where I literally jumped out of bed and into the shower, I find that nothing seems worthwhile today. My kids and I are doing the same thing day in and day out, and to be honest it's getting a little old. Everyday we wake up at approximately 8:15a.m. watch cartoons for about an hour, eat breakfast, play in their room, I clean up a bit, my kids start getting stir crazy and then we play outside for all of ten minutes before they decide it's too hot and we come back in. Lunch is followed by naps (which of course is an endless process that makes me want to stab a pencil in my eye) and by the time they fall asleep I am frustrated to the point of not really being able to enjoy my quiet time, and then 15 minutes later my hubby arrives home. 

This is what we do Every Single Day.

To be honest, I've tried thinking of things to mix it up and I'm at a loss. I make my monsters watch at least one educational cartoon a day because I can't get my oldest to sit down and take interest in learning with me. I've tried to think of games we can play or crafts we can do, but really unless you just have an endless supply of glue, construction paper, and toilet paper tubes at your disposal, all you can really do is color with crayons. That is boring my friends. 

We have dance parties, blast the music and play the "Freeze!" game. Which only last for about two songs, because then they are tired of freezing and just want to put in the special requests for which song they want, and DJ Mama obliges. 

As for playing outside, well, heaven help me if I have to sit out in 100' weather longer than 15 minutes, and my kids don't want to either. They don't enjoy it, and I don't blame then.

So here we sit. What creativity can I spur in these young brains??? I have nothing new to present them with for a fun filled day.  I can't take cartoons any longer. Yet I have no will to even move from this chair I sit in because I am exhausted of the boredom. 

I think a little research is in order. Perhaps I will google:
"What to do when you are broke, stuck inside, and have children to entertain?"

or even

"How to have fun with your kids when My Little Pony is all they care about, and you are apathetic as well"

or perhaps

"Fun activities to do inside that doesn't require lots of supplies"

I'll let you know how it goes.
