Oh yes, today has already been a great day, and it’s only 9:36am! Both boys got dropped off at school (happily, I might add), checks were deposited into the bank, a quick run to the grocery store for milk, all before the bell rang at Zack’s Kindergarten. I even finished my coffee – without gushing it down my throat – and ate half an apple (the other half I am enjoying now). I’m dressed in clean clothes (as opposed to the clothes I sometimes sleep in from the day before – I know, don’t judge), and I even have a teensy bit of motivation to take a walk later today in this gorgeous pre-spring weather.
So, what will I do with my “free” day? Well, for starters I get to write! YAY! Writing makes me happy, fills a space inside me so that it doesn’t get filled with junk. Then I’ll finish preparing for a meeting Will and I have on Friday for our taxes – yeah, that’s not so sexy sounding, but none-the-less, it’s important. After that, a quick 15 min aqua-massage at this new self-automated spa (more on that later) before it’s back to reality and an afternoon of kids.
I must say, the days when I get a true break, I am so much more prepared to deal with the boys. It’s amazing how such a simple thing of free time (which isn’t always so simple to attain), can have such a grand impact.
Cheers to a happy, healthy, harmonious day! π
I can completely relate. My husband had a dentist appointment this morning so I had some free/me time. I did a whirlwind of things INCLUDING writing a post. Love it.
Hey, priorities, right? π
Nice to hear you had some Pamela time. It IS true that a break from the everyday is good for you. Hope you can fit in lots more.
Absolutely, Pamela. We all need an afternoon–or even a few hours–that belong just to us. To read, have a massage, relax in a coffee house, hide in the writing room at the library, or just take the phone off the hook and take a nap. I want to hear about the self-motivated spa!
