I've been living balls to the wall and need a break. I realize now, that my schedule changes according to my priorities and my priorities are dynamic. For instance, last week, I decided that my highest priority was spending exuberant amounts of time with my hubby, at night, after the kids went to bed. Subsequently, our relationship went through a positively polishing phase and my relationship with sleep suffered. Also, as a result, my relationship with my children declined because every parent knows that children are the most annoying when you are tired. I was tired all week.
This week, starting today because I procured no less then nine hours of sleep last night, will focus on house and home. My relationship with the hubby will not suffer because ... well... it never does and my relationship with my kids will be refreshed(until I am tired of being a completely unselfish parent and decide to slack off once again). At least I can see the pattern for what it is. Until the slacking off takes effect, I will enjoy sweeping, mopping, laundry, flipping mattresses(and no that's not code for anything dirty), washing sheets, bathing dogs, dusting and organizing closets. The kids and I will finish a few chapter books, learn some new songs and probably bake something. We may even get the garage cleaned up for a sale AND rearrange Ben's bedroom, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I would be happy, at this point, to simply secure enough sleep to see my jogging improve once more. -yawn-
Who's ready to get to work?
