I Quit

We have these smooth stones. We found them in a river or at the lake.... not sure where. I'm fairly certain we didn't steal them from a landscape because although I don't consider that to be beneath me, it is not something I am likely to teach my children. Anyway, we have these beautiful multi-colored stones and we keep them in the freezer. Why you ask? To make them cold, of course. I think it was one of the kids' ideas. You put the stones in the freezer and then if you bump your head or burn your hand, you use them instead of ice. They stay dry and are just as cold.

This morning I burnt my finger on toast. I know, stupid thing to burn my finger on. Who doesn't know it's hot?! To my defense the end pieces get much hotter than the middle pieces, hence the spreading of jam with one hand while holding a smooth stone in the other. Now, two hours later, I don't have so much as a mark on my finger. I love those river stones.

I'm stressed the HELL OUT world. I'm just not trying today. From now on, Thursdays are my official days off. I have been trying for the past two weeks to juggle jogging, school, parenting, sleep, blogging, housework and finances and I'm DONE. I'm not so much tired as I am just emotionally depleted. I hate being negative about my life. I love my life, but when your eye is twitching and your back muscles are spasming, it's time to take a break. I can't imagine who would disagree.

Talk to you all tomorrow.
