Today was a very untypical day for me. I did absolutely nothing of any merit unless you count the few minutes I used up balancing my bank account and making a grocery list. Oh, and there was the quick trip to pick up my monthly assurance that I will not endure raising another teenager and a quick stop for a chocolate shake.
Other than that, I have nothing to check off on a to do list, and it felt absolutely fantastic. I stayed in my pajamas until well past three, eventually giving those up for some comfy sweat pants and T-shirt. I'm not even sure if I brushed my hair or washed my face this morning. Leftover pizza from last night's outing served as lunch, and the two-day old taco soup was heated up on the stove for dinner.
I spent most of my day reading the latest issue of Cosmo, studying Italian language lessons for my bucket list trip to Italy, playing Scrabble, writing...all with my new best friend the Ipad...and watching some NFL action.
I can remember a time when a day like today would have never happened. Pre- midlife crisis I would spend every waking moment running around like a mad woman trying to earn my domestic goddess badge and mother of the year award. I'm not sure whose expectations those were...mine or those of an imaginary voice telling me that to be still was being lazy.
Thank God I have been delivered from the bondage of such ridiculousness. And the best part is that nobody cared, the little voice I used to hear has been silenced.
