| "Let's not work; let's play instead." |
I've got a list up to the top button of my pajamas of things to get done (including this blog), but I've decided that for tonight I'm going to ignore the vast majority of them. In fact, after I post this shortish blog, I am going to turn my computer off for the night. The only condition on which I will turn it on again will to be watch Portlandia or Parenthood or West Wing(Can you believe I still haven't finished that most excellent series?) on Netflix.
Blog aside, my other obligations I shall meet are reading with my kiddos, tucking them in bed, and spending a nice chunk of time with that sweet chunk (Oops, I mean hunk) of a man I call my husband.
I'm blessed. I love my life. I love my family. I love my job. Sometimes it all seems like too much, but a bit of perspective helps with that. My "too much" is somebody else's idea of paradise.
So what doesn't need to get done, won't. Nobody's going to get hurt; nobody's going to judge me; nobody's going to even notice: except for me. And I've decided that just for tonight, I'm not going to care. (By the way, my daybook is up to date, the schedule is on the board, and my lessons are all prepared, just in case any of you think I am neglecting my job!)
That's my new start for today: to give myself a break once in a while. Like I said, I love what I do, but sometimes I just do a bit too much of it.
