After choosing RELEASE as one of my words for 2008 and talking about release from the pressure to get things done and do it all, I sure took my own advice this weekend.
I did not feel like doing anything, other than the already regularly scheduled activities of course. That was fine though, I don't mind that sort of thing. I love taking the kids to their activities and watching them do things they really enjoy. It's all the other things I know I should be doing that I just had absolutely no desire to worry about. The house needed cleaning, there were mounds of laundry, I need to shop for an outfit for a wedding next month that I don't want to go to, Jesse needs a new bed (toddler one is too small), I have thousands of photos that need to be printed and organized, and the kids need presents for two birthday parties next weekend. Other than tackling some of the laundry (which my husband helped with after I sorted it), I really didn't do anything else on my list.
Yesterday, after taking Emily to cheerleading, we spent the rest of the afternoon with her friend and her mom, going for lunch, going to Chapters, sitting at Starbucks. It was so nice.
Today I slacked off in my jammies until almost lunch time, then went shopping at Costco and later Jesse and I went skating while Tim took Emily to soccer practice. I was going to go to the gym but I even talked myself out of that. Yes, that I should have done but I don't care, I'm not going to beat myself up for not going!
All in all, a great lazy weekend!
