Today is one of the Fridays where all five kids are at school! These days can go a couple of different ways, because on one hand, I have a morsel that naps, and I can do productive things. Or I can do restful things! But when Wavy is home, she also is helpful with the morsel so I can still accomplish things. But when Wavy is home, I answer questions aaaaall day. The morsel asks far less questions 😆 We just chat casually.
As the kids just peeled out for the day, I am looking at my list. And its really the best kind of list.
I need to make granola bars.
But, if I run out, I have backups in the pantry.
Low pressure.
I need to do laundry.
But, if I don’t get to it today, there is always tomorrow, and I’d have kids to help out.
Low pressure.
I need to book some appointments.
I’m not on a time crunch, so I don’t have to stress about fitting in a time slot that really sucks.
Low pressure.
Furthermore, the list holds things that do need to get done today.
Foster expenses. I am SO behind, so they feel pretty daunting. But thats a job I know I could sit down to start, and it would just flow. So I know that one will be ok.
Camp stuff. I still have some tubs and boxes laying around of stuff from camp that needs to be integrated into our home stuff. It stares at me, and I know I need to deal with it. Soon.
I have a blog I really want to write, and I know its going to take some time. If I even just jot some of it down, I’ll probably feel that much more organized.
Oh and I want to finish crocheting the toque I’m working on. Because I have some crochet goals and I’m a tad behind.
Aaaaall of this, and I have a morsel rolling around nearby. So. We’ll see how much I get to, and how much wait for when there are more hands in the house. Sometimes that makes it easier, sometimes it makes it harder. I know there are things to do, but there is wiggle room absolutely all over the map, which helps.
At least I’m home today 💜 Thank you Lord for what feels like a more restful day!
