A Day Off....
Last week was surviving the experiment of the full-time job.
This week is the back lash of getting my house back in order, catch up on hours for my part-time job, spend extra time with my kids, and do my body a favor and make it MOVE!!! (I ran this morning and it felt GOOD!)
With all the extra pressure, I feel like climbing into a hammock in some warm tropical place and just sleeping all day.
I get breaks often as my mom and in-laws are great about taking the kids when I need to work. But I feel like it would be "cheating" to get my kids taken care of so I could just do nothing. Why is that?
Perhaps its the independent, hard (good?)working ethic of our culture.
If you're not doing something, your value quickly diminishes.
I heard on the radio the other day, some people discussing how North America is the only culture where "what do you do?" ranks among the first thing people are asked about themselves. In fact, some Eurpeans consider it a rude question.
I suppose taking a day off to do nothing wouldn't be so bad. It wouldn't make me a bad, or lazy person. It might even make me MORE productive. (But I don't want to get too radical with my ideas!)
I guess the whole day off thing is why they created Mother's Day.
Only 15 more weeks to go!!!!! Yeeeeee-hah!
