On the couch in a funk
I’m pretty down this morning, but I know it’s nothing compared to how LL must be feeling. Got up and made Pumpkinhead some breakfast and now I’m sitting here with a cup of tea trying to get motivated to get going.
I brought home a ton of client billing for work. I have a midterm due for one of my classes. Not to mention regular class reading! Chapin had to go out of town unexpectedly today and won’t be home until late tonight. My dining room table is covered with clean laundry that needs to be folded.
Not to mention the dirty laundry overflowing in my laundry room. And we won’t talk about the dirty dishes in the sink.
BUT, I’m going to spend the morning with Pumpkinhead. LL’s reminded me that life’s short and time is precious. So, in a few minutes, I’m going to try to snap out of my funk, get dressed and take Pumpkinhead out to buy his Halloween costume (he wants to be Superman). He got a kid’s cookbook from Chick Fil A this week and wants to bake gingerbread cookies (shortbread, really, but he wants a gingerbread man cutout so we’re going to get that). After our shopping, we’re going to head over to a local farmer’s market and see what kinds of yummy veggies and fruit they have this week. Then we’ll come home, bake the cookies (I am soooo unenthusiastic — baking is not really my thing) and then I’ll get started on my work. Hopefully Chapin won’t get home so late that he can’t get up at a decent time tomorrow because I really do have a ton to do this weekend.

Cheer up. I always find taking a break and spending time with my kiddos is a great way to (temporarily) alleviate my own stress.
