Come Thursday the house is nothing short of a disaster. Three full days with me gone for 10 hours will do such a thing. I have accepted the fact that on my work days, the essentials are feeding the family, making sure everyone is in their right places (including me) and walking the dog.
Come Thursday I can get slightly overwhelmed. Like I have SO much to do which I do and I don't know where to start. So, I don't.
Instead I head to the trail because it has been 3 days since I have outside for any length of time. I tell myself I will just stay out for a little while but it always turns into much longer. There are pictures to take, people to say hello to and a dog that needs to run hard.
When I finally get back there is breakfast. Yesterdays was a delicious. I have not had oatmeal piled high with apples, raisins, walnuts and cinnamon in quite a while. I forgot how good and warm it is.
Finally I get on with the day and slowly everything gets done.
The best part about Thursdays though and I have said it before, everyone seems to be home come night.
Could it be that Thursdays have become my most favorite day of the week?
i just wanted to tell you that reading your blog is like having a warm chai tea latte in my hands. you have a real gift...
ReplyDeleteglad you had a good time on the trail :)
Thursdays seem to find all of us home, too. Wonder what that is about? I try to have a nice family dinner those nights...since the other nights are rush here, rush there. I'm glad you are taking the time to take care of you. The housework will always be there....
ReplyDeleteI am loving that you are taking cre of you on Thursdays before you do chores. Such a great thing!
