The kids are back in school. It's day two, and I'm bored! Oh, I have plenty to do. More laundry to fold. The dishwasher is beeping to remind me of my part of the process. Dust is making beautiful designs on the furniture. But dinner is in the crockpot! Does that count?
Back-to-school is such a time of change for all of us. More pressure to be organized and on the ball. Less time for family fun. And I'm at home, all alone, with my own work begging to be done. Everything was organized and lovely at the end of May because I knew it wouldn't get done over the summer. Come on, baseball and swimming were so much more important than filing paperwork!
But here I am, looking around, wondering where to start. My calendar is filling up with volunteer appointments and visiting friends, but the bulk of my work is here. at home. by myself. It's too quiet. No one is fighting. No one is watching Disney Channel. Just me, myself and a long to-do list. I don't need a job, because I have one. I just don't want to do it today. Maybe I need a vacation. Summer vacation, anyone? Oh, yeah. Better wash the beach towels first.
