A day off work

A day off of work, Yes!! No...to be quite honest,  I'd rather be working. Don't get me wrong, I love sleeping in a bit later, getting lots of snuggle time with my son and being on my own schedule, then there's what I Should be doing. I had a list a mile long of things I needed and wanted to do. I got a few done but then again, my list was enough for a week of things to do plus having a 2 yr old barking orders and fussing for no reason didn't help either. As he sits here crying, for reasons unknown, I want to be him for a day. Sleep when I want, cry when I want, have people pay attention to me because they're genuinely interested, and not have a worry in the world except to wonder if Sponge Bob is on. Maybe this seems odd or selfish to you, idk, don't really care. If I could sleep until I wanted, people would be checking on me to see if I'm dead. The world has itself in such a hurry so ya know what? I'm not going to beat myself up over what I didn't get done (which is an everyday thing for me), I'm going to be happy with what I did accomplish. I sat with my baby through therapy, did 3 loads of laundry, the dishes, went to the grocery, loved on my son and played games with him and blogged lol. It may seem like a lot to others but to most mamas, you will understand when I say I felt like I did nothing. It's O.K. It's O.K. It's O.K. The other cleaning can be done another day. The room can organized this weekend and the storage unit cleaned out...someday. Getting extra kisses from my son got done today. Allowing myself not to go 101 mph got done today. Do I do this often? No. Should I do it more often? Yes. But if I don't do it, well, you know the rest. I'm not going to allow myself to be overwhelmed because I wasn't super human today, I was just human and that's o.k. A day off work is so not what it sounds like. We too often forget that our children should get more of our time. Just because they are with us does not mean we are with them. Be with your child. Clean another day. Take a mental break. The world didn't end and probably won't, hopefully.
