My days of late seem long and never-ending. I am up at 6:00 prepping lunch or breakfast or dinner. And doing laundry. And getting the kids ready for school and myself ready for work or meetings and work or gym and meetings and work. I'm home by 7:00 and have to finish getting dinner ready and if I have not already started I have to throw something together. Fast. And I really want to change and my feet hurt but I must tend to the children. The dishwasher needs to be emptied and the dinner dishes need to be done. My feet still hurt. I still have not taken off my shoes or my work clothes. I want a bath. A nice long hot bath with a glass of wine and some bubbles. But I have to fold the laundry that's in the dryer. I have to toss the darks in to the dryer and the whites into the wash. I need to make sure homework has been done. It's now 8:00PM. I am beat. Exhausted. I really want to stick Alexander in front of the TV. But I read to him instead. And I extend his bedtime by a half an hour so I can cuddle with him after I read to him... while I check emails and story ideas on my laptop. Often, these days, I fall asleep long before my wine glass is emptied. But it's all good. Good things are coming my way. More to come soon. May we all remember there's good even when it seems that calamity surrounds us!
I hope you all have a wonderful Friday!
