Today is a rare day, usually Sunshine has music class on Mondays after Monster goes to school, but today is the break between sessions. There's also about 4 inches of snow on the ground. That gives me the perfect opportunity to tackle more cleaning projects when Monster is at school and then break up the monotony with some snow play when he gets home. I also get another breather tonight because I get to head out with friends! That's been rare lately because Husband has been working late, so I'm pretty excited!
This week was a rough one. I think part of it had to do with being stuck in a rut. The other part was not getting a break. I've been going non stop for several weeks now, with no down time, no free time for me. When that happens, I start resorting to the same, boring stuff. The same meals for dinner each week. The same activities for the kids. Then, I also become a shut in. I have the same 3 things on my "To Do" list that I just look at and don't want to do. The three day migraine didn't help either. It's a vicious cycle until I get a moment to breathe. Luckily, I got that moment this weekend. I woke up Sunday morning ready to start life again. I clawed my way out of the rut. I organized the bathroom cabinets, which has been on my "To Do" list for 3 weeks now. I got items ready to donate to BirthCare. I got items ready to donate to AmVets. I tossed a bunch of stuff, too (why was I keeping so many empty soap dispensers?) Then, I tackled the kitchen. Once the kitchen sparkled, I made pizza dough. After that, I did a little retail therapy, which usually seems to help, even when I'm only buying baskets to organize cabinets and birthday gifts for other people. I was on such a roll that after I got home, I even wrapped those gifts, and the birthday party isn't for almost 2 months! I'm completely caught up on laundry, which is good except that now I can't fit all my kids' clothes in their dressers.
