So my day has been pretty much a bust. We just returned from a road trip to New Mexico for my husband’s rugby team and the day after a road trip is more like the day after being hit by a car. I am so exhausted. And, my husband drove the entire trip! I have no excuses. What did I do today? Not laundry. Not the dishes. Not unpacking. Not cooking meals or feeding the kids nutritional things like fruits and vegetables. Staring at the TV? Yes, did that. Did I register anything I saw? No. Staring at the Internet? Yes, did that too. I seriously considered gambling at some online casino and if you know how tight-fisted I am with my money, this definitely means that I was out of it. Thankfully, baby came over and punched the off button on the computer and that was the end of my browsing and the way I was saved from becoming a gambling addict, probably. Plus, it was a gray, rainy, blah day and that sapped my energy too. Who can stand those kinds of days? I would not make it in the great Northwest or anywhere it rains a lot. I need sunshine — true desert rat, right here. So, yeah, it has been a bust. Tomorrow we’ll get back into the routine, but I am allowing myself one day of fuzzy brain, lying around, staring into space, feeding my kids frozen pizza for dinner, well, no it won’t be frozen, I will bake it but it is that kind of pizza. See how addled my brain is? Tomorrow I promise myself I will be a good girl and get a lot done but tonight I am putting the kids to bed early and myself, I will snuggle down around eight pm with a mediocre book and zonk-out about two minutes into my reading. That’s the plan…and I’m proud I can figure even that much out.
