Hello there, friend,
This week has been long, every day overflowing. The end of the month always requires hustle, but this one even more than usual. This afternoon, I sat at my desk working and felt such a great wave of exhaustion that I had no choice but to close the computer and rest.
I went to lie down and could hear my son in the next room talking to himself after his nap. He often sits in there chattering away until I go get him, and today listening to him was soothing. It was like he was singing for me.
I didn't fall asleep, but I decided I was done working for the day, done with the computer and the phone. Instead, after my daughter came home from school, I sat with them on the couch and we read for a while. Then we watched a movie, and I could feel the pressure go out of me a little.
I'm ready for a weekend, for a Sabbath, for a couple of glasses of wine. I plan to go to yoga and for a walk or two. I want to sink down into a good book. I'm going plant a million kisses on my kids' faces and hold hands with my husband. And I probably won't make dinner. Oh, happy weekend!
xo,
