Hazelnutnut is a romantic tree hugging self knower.
I sent out a lot of job applications. I drove back to CT. I slept in almost every morning. Now, if I only had a job I didn’t dread going to so much.

I didn’t get to do any of the fun or relaxing things I wanted to do this week. I had planned on something today, but I had to sleep instead, since I only got 2 hours of sleep last night.

No fun so far, just hard work and extra meetings. I’m hoping to have some of tomorrow free, and then Sunday is looking good for some ME time—just in time for the last day of break!

...than I would have liked to be for spring break. Ideally, I would have a week of nothing too important, except for maybe a couple of day trips with the kids. Instead, I have commitments every single day, and a long, long to-do list. Some of it is my mistake – I shouldn’t have agreed to take on more – but some of it is beyond my control.
But I’m still going to make a conscious effort to be mentally low-key and slower-paced. I’m going to enjoy that I don’t have to ask the kids every day whether they have homework, make sure it gets done, make sure it gets back in their backpacks. I don’t have to drill spelling words with them, I don’t have to run them all over creation for overlapping lessons and classes, and I don’t have to drag myself out of bed in the morning (I’m not a morning person) and drive them to school.
Towards the end of next week, there will even be a couple of mornings where I don’t have to be anywhere until after noon, so we’ll stay in our PJ’s all morning, even if I need to be doing work in my PJ’s. I’ll just make up my mind to enjoy what I do have the opportunity to enjoy. Maybe I’ll even try to post one thing I enjoyed about each day. Hmmmm, I’ll have to start tomorrow, though, because today was ultra-hectic.
And starting on Monday, I’m going to make sure I make time to do a few projects with the kids each morning, especially reading to each other. And I’m going to try to find time to watch one Netflix movie. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve found time to do that. One way or another, I’m not going to let the entire week pass without making an effort to enjoy it, even if it is only a minor change of pace.
