Free Time

 

I've had this past week off work.  The elementary school is having parent teacher conferences this week, which means the kids get out of school right after lunch.  Seeing as I don't come to work until lunch, the half-day deal gave me some much needed time off.

I had big plans.  I planned on cleaning out closets, drawers, possibly even the garage.  Heck, with a whole week off I could probably solve the world's hunger problems.  Only thing is, it's Thursday now and the closets still bulge with clothes the kids don't fit in anymore.  My junk drawer just so happens to still be full of junk.  The clean clothes in my room from last week are still waiting to be put away for pete's sake!  As a matter of fact, I'll be lucky if the garbage can gets to the curb later on tonight.

I decided to have lunch with my high school kids at Jimmy Johns instead of doing the housekeeping that lies in wait.  I ran some errands and picked up items to make my daughter's diorama look cool.  I dropped off a Subway sandwich to my younger son at his school because he has basketball practice before school and I knew he'd be starving.  Oh, and I spent a morning getting new tires since I could actually see the steel belt coming out of the old ones.

I've got a picture in my kitchen that my mom cross-stitched many years ago.  It reads:

 I concur.
