I’m having one of those moments right now
where both kids are happily occupied
and I can’t think of anything pressing that needs to be done right this minute
and that hasn’t happened for quite some time
and yet there are actually about a million things that need to be done
but I suddenly can’t remember a single one of them
and plus I only have one hour of empty space
(we might be down to 37 minutes now)
and not a ton of energy
and none of those things that need to be done can probably be done in one hour
(except maybe seriously Julie there is cleaning up the kitchen after the dinner we just finished or putting in a load of laundry or sweeping some floors but really who wants to do that on a Sunday night and who really cares about all that anyway)
and so I can’t decide if I should just give myself the next hour as a gift
and do nothing at all
or sit and knit
so at least I feel like I’m doing something productive
but then who says I always have to be doing something productive
and suddenly I remember that I have a blog
and so why don’t I at least put up a post.
And breathe.
And quit talking mean to myself.
And just be.
Ok and maybe I’ll make a note to make a list of all those things bouncing in my head that I “should” be doing. So they get done maybe someday. One hour at a time.
