Who can
empathize with this….
Saturday
morning, I woke up so motivated! I was
going to attack my to-do list and make a BIG dent before taking the little lady
to ballet. Best of all – the cleaning
lady (who comes once a month, but for some reason hasn’t come in 6 weeks) was
coming first thing Monday morning.
Then, it
all went awry! Cleaning lady texted that
actually Friday would be better (add some more items to that to-do list). Then while getting some bloggy work done the
computer needed to be plugged in. I went
to get the charger and BOOM – I realized I left it at work. CRAP -
Too much to do and no charger (of course the place I work has a different
generation of computer than my friends who have the same one so I can’t
borrow!). I even looked online to buy a
new one - $80! No thanks! Finally, I remembered that a sweet friend
from work’s daughter has ballet at the same time as the little lady – Success. We can head to her house after ballet - THE DAY IS SAVED!
Wait…
Not so fast! Ballet and power cord –check. We arrive home to a dad’s day outside the
house. One of the first nice spring
weekends and the neighborhood men were outside making the yard look nice. Perfect- right?? Well not really – Some how I ended up with 7
kids for lunch – by myself! Don’t get me
wrong, I LOVE these kids. We play all
the time, but I really needed some time to get this stuff done (and really did
we need a bigger mess?) In any event, I
survived the impromptu lunch and playdate x7 and even got the little lady and
her bestie to help clean up!
So…what
did I do after the calm returned? I did
something for me… I had an afternoon cup of coffee and curled up on the newly
warmed deck in the sun with a book. It
was the BEST medicine.
I’m not trying
to say that I had a bad day or even a tough day. It just wasn’t the Saturday I had envisioned
and doing something for me at the end of it was exactly what the doctor
ordered!
