I was somewhat under the weather over the weekend. Belly problems again. Thus, Saturday was nearly a do-nothing day. Hey...I deserve one of those every once in awhile! Meg worked on homework.
Yesterday, I got a little more done...but not a lot. Some laundry...some cleaning...but wasn't under the usual Sunday afternoon stresses. Why? The children and Meg had the day off for MLK Day today. That meant that I didn't have to be in a hurry with the laundry to make sure everyone has something to wear, or lunches to take, and knowing that I wouldn't have to do the Monday morning rushing around. I had just ME to take care of this morning, and I didn't have to pick the children up this afternoon. Wow! It has taught me something about self-imposed stress. No one has asked me to do laundry or make lunches. I just do it. The children can learn to get themselves up and dressed. We just have to find a way to make it all work...and we will. The days and evenings don't have to be so stressful. We just need fresh perspective, sometimes.
If I am to retire this year, I have to make the decision by Feb. 1st...which is only a few days away...and I'm not ready. Have to get proactive here in a hurry!
Tomorrow is a big day in the history of our country. I will pray every day that America lives up to its promises and that the crazies of the world are kept at bay. Politics be damned!
