Stress..
I think it gets to everyone.
We live in a world where the atmosphere is full of stress and tension. More demands and pressure are being set on us(normally by us) than ever before. Especially Mom's. We push and give and push and give..Sometimes I feel like a rubber band. I stretch myself, stretch myself and stretch myself, until eventually, I snap. I've been really trying to get myself around the "snap" lately. Seems like everything is piling up around me. And every time I get 2 steps forward, i'm actually 4 steps back..
Today, I put all housework aside. Daniel took a nice long nap and I watched a movie! I always feel guilty if I am relaxing while the house is messy. Well, today I decided to forget about that thought! I needed to watch a movie. I needed to forget my mile long to-do list. I needed to realize the toy room can be cleaned tomorrow, the floors could be scrubbed Tuesday.
All you Mom's out there...Leave the mess alone-just for today!(Trust me, it's not going anywhere!) Take a nice long bath, read a good book or watch a movie.
Just enjoy the day. (even if it's a rainy one..)
Be blessed!

Ya know what, great minds think alike! I did the same exact thing today...NOT MUCH! I mean of course some things you just HAVE to do but, I didn't do anything that did not need to be done!
I am glad you seemed to have enjoyed your day! We need to do that more often.
