A work vacation

After a weekend of many projects, including washing windows, trimming hedges, mopping the basement, and the regular laundry, etc., I'm a bit wiped out. I did, however, decide yesterday to not attempt to fall clean our bedroom. I didn't want to come back to work today completely regretting not also taking it easy a bit this weekend. We got in some walks, some snuggles, playing outside, eating out and going to a picnic.

Being that it's Tuesday, feeling like Monday, I know this week will go fast BUT I remembered what one of the things I wanted to blog about was. I want a work vacation. How shallow am I to possibly wish for a break from some of the other things in my life to "catch up' at work, if that is possible? In the middle of last week, I was contemplating how I might not be so stressed if I could just spend 2-3 days and evenings plugging away at work. This would also require no additional meetings at work, just days of uninterrupted checking things off my list. I know I would hate it while it was happening but it's the only thing I could come up with last week when I was out of the office and feeling like I was just getting farther and farther behind.

I obviously won't be taking my "working vacation" anytime soon but I'm at least back in the office for a while and I've spent all morning making check marks. Yeah!

However, I did inform J last night that when he is done with football concessions, I think I may need some me time. My boys may get some bonding time while I spend some time making sure I don't implode. I'm only good for them if I manage to also take care of myself mentally and physically - something to remember when I try to run myself ragged.
