I went to bed earlier this morning exhausted, because that's the only way I can make myself go to bed when my husband isn't home. Now although I went to bed late I woke up (the second time) feeling refreshed and full of life, (this was of course after my kids were on the bus to school). I was excited about the day because it was Wednesday - yeah I know "hump day" what's there to be excited about?
Well in my house, it's the day we don't have any activities and I usually don't have any meetings, so I can pretty much do what I want. Now granted there aren't so many do what I want days, but I can definitely usually do what I need to do on Wednesday, like finish the laundry and mop the floors, really clean everything up and prepare a nice meal.
You all know that I'm a Mocha Mom, and in my chapter we use to have "Wind Down Wednesday". These were generally outings that didn't require a lot of preparation. Maybe just hanging out at another mocha's house or going to the park with the kids, something really laid back. Getting a chance to catch up on things helps me to relax and "wind down" which is exactly why I was so looking forward to today; and let me tell you it was a great one. I put some laundry on this morning, went to the dentist, the bank, a couple of craft stores and made it back home in time to get my bags out of the truck and watch the girls get off the bus.
I enjoy Wednesday because for me it represents a break from the chaos that life can become the rest of the week. Wednesday is welcome in my home, I love it like it were a sacred day set apart just for me to breathe deeply and be renewed. Maybe you have a day that really allows you to recharge, if not, I suggest you get one.
Be Blessed
