I always have such good intentions each weekend. I make out my shopping list. I have in my head a list of chores and things to accomplish. And then I also think about things we should do as a family--go somewhere, do something together.
But somehow, Saturday morning turns into Saturday afternoon turns into Saturday evening and I find that I've accomplished almost nothing. I've been a couch potato. Oh...there are the four loads of laundry done--and two of them are folded and put away. And there's the dishwasher that is now full of clean dishes. But nothing got vacuumed or dusted. No shopping got done. (That's a major problem.) And nobody ate anything of any nutritional value for most of the day. I sat today. Oh...and I did my lesson plans that I got behind this week due to computer issues and the many other special projects we have to do at school.
Interestingly enough--I don't feel too guilty today. There are many things I should be doing. Many, many things I should be doing. I need to update the checkbook. I have to wrangle kids at the high school production of "The Music Man" tonight. Oh...and there's the whole church day tomorrow. But I find that I just don't care today. The boys have done pretty much nothing but play video games and computer games. All. Day. Long. And guess what! I. Don't. Care. Not today.
Maybe I needed this day. It's been a hard week with Ricahrd being sick for two days. It's so tempting to call someone and lie and say I have the flu and I can't go tonight. I really, really, really want to just stay home for the rest of the day. I don't want to be with people. I think that's why I didn't go shopping. That and Richard asked me to wait for him to wake up--which didn't happen for another 3 hours and by then...I was out of the mood. I don't know what's for dinner and I don't care. Maybe I'll have cereal and toast. That sounds good, actually. Hmmm...wonder if anyone else has any ideas. Wonder if I care.
How long until we're finally out of school for a few days? Oh, yeah. A week and a half. Not that I'm counting.
