It is about 3:30 pm, and I just got dressed…if you can call changing from comfy pjs to comfy workout clothes “getting dressed.” I haven’t done much of anything today, and it’s been so relaxing. I did manage to get a few loads of laundry done, but mostly, I’ve just been hanging out.
There is nothing better than a nice lazy afternoon. It’s hot outside, but it’s pretty comfortable in the house. I do need to go grocery shopping, but that will wait until Brian gets home from work. For now, I am content to surf the web, listen to the kids playing happily together, and maybe I’ll watch some tv. And tonight, I will jump back into routine when we have dinner and then we’ll do baths and pack lunches and all of that stuff. Tonight, I have to make some salad for my lunch this week, and maybe I’ll bake some muffins. But right now, I’m just being.
It’s not very often that I have a day to just “be”. Usually, I’m so busy trying to get the house clean and doing the weekly shopping, and carting the kids around to dance and birthday parties and all of that stuff that I forget to relax. So when the chance arrives to have a day, an afternoon, or even an hour to do nothing, I’ll take it. It gives me the chance to recharge. It makes me a better mom, and a better wife. The only thing that would make this day better would be if Brian were home and we could just “be” together.
I think I’ll go watch some tv now……I hope your weekend was as relaxing as mine!
