Taking the Day Off


I've been feeling really overwhelmed lately, it started to come to a head yesterday. I've been waking up congested and with swollen glands and I'm just sooooo tired.
I'm to the point where EVERYTHING is irritating me at work. Nothing bad is happening, I'm just irritated and tired and I realized that I just needed a day off.
Basically my life consists of choices. I can never get it all, so saying yes to something is saying no to something else. I only get one day off really during the week and that is starting to get old. Friday night is Shabbat, Saturday normally consists of me trying to catch up on house work or running errands, and every now and then something fun thrown in (but it's always because I forsake one of my other 'duties') and then Sunday we have church. Basically, I don't stop.
Yes, I know that this is called being a grown up, but seriously people, I'm exhausted.
Every day off, every time I take off work early or come in late, it's always for doctor's appointments or sick babies, or having to be some where. It's never just like, I'm going home to do nothing.
So that's what I plan on doing today, nothing!
I'm going to drop Lyric off with Christina after lunch and I'm going to spend the afternoon just with me and I'm really excited about it. I might go to a movie. I might go to the bookstore, I might just take a really long nap. Who knows!

On an entirely different note, look at how big my little girl is getting!

She is practically a teenager.
And now she is doing this gymnastic move all the time. She'll just be playing and then all of a sudden she'll stop and do this:

It's really hilarious!
I am having one major issue with her though. She loves to blow her nose. She'll just walk around wiping her nose with a wipee or a tissue. Well she discovered that there is a never ending supply of wipee's under her changing table. So now she is going in and pulling all the wipee's out of the holder and pulling them all over the floor and walking away with just one.
It's sooo frustrating!

Anyways, so I'm excited about my day off. I've already showered and fixed my hair. Now I'm just waiting for the baby to wake up and we'll go get food because I'm starving.

So I hope everyone has an equally relaxing day as I am having/going to have.

You should do this more often..no money can make up for a lack of relaxation. Motherhood is tiring & give you props b/c I haven't yet gone back to work since Zealan & I'm already wiped out. Unfortunately, I think my time has come now that we've moved & want to get into our own place again..I'm so sad at the thought of leaving him, but I'm believing I'll find something where I can have him with me. I hope you can experience true rest today, good job on knowing when to draw the line for some R&R-Em
