Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Slow Day

February 24, 2023

I decided yesterday morning to have a slower, at home day since the last three have been quite busy. Especially Tuesday and Wednesday. Both were physically and mentally demanding days. So yesterday was a slow(er) day – more intentional – getting only the basics done. This included, getting me ready for the day, laundry, and then do some of the dishes that have piled up. The plan also included having my daughters dry the morning dishes and I’d finish them while doing all the desk day work. HA – none of that happened. What I did do was stop at Sonic for a peanut butter cup blast, paid 3 bills, rebooted laundry, and made dinner, and closed the kitchen. That was enough.

One thing that happened to me is that after I did the morning dishes and had reloaded the laundry I decided to sit down and read a book. The feeling that I needed to be busy doing housework was overwhelming! Did not expect that. However, I knew I had a plan in place so I didn’t need to feel guilty about slowing down and playing a little. Apparently this is something I need to work on. No wonder I feel burned out on a daily basis.

So, today is Friday and it’ll be back in the routines, but if I want to read a book or write a post here I’ll do it without feeling guilty. As long as I’m making progress and keeping a clean enough house then it’s all good. Yes, I still have a way to go but I’ve improved so much over the years and I’m celebrating all that I’ve done. And I’ve done A LOT. Ready for retirement. As if.
