Fall is a long slog to the holidays. We started in mid-August and this is our first break. We’ve had a few random days off, but nothing substantive. I’m very ready for a week away from work.
But of course my kids are home too, so it’s not going to be very restful or relaxing. And I was reminded of that today.
It was good to be reminded of it. Realistic expectations will make this week better, to be sure. I’m grateful for the reminder.
I also remembered to get started on the calendars, thank goodness. If I don’t get them almost done this week, I’ll be in trouble. I already backed up my phone today. Tomorrow I’ll start looking through the thousands (over 10,000!) photos I took this year.
I already saw a bunch of my cat. I miss her. It will be hard to see a bunch of pictures of her this week, but hopefully it will also help me grieve. And of course this crazy kittens will help. We let them into more of the house today and they love the new space. By the end of the week, they’ll be able to go wherever they want. They are chaos agents to be sure, and they keep things interesting.
Love how they sleep together
Great pics! Thanks.
Yes, reality is good to stay clear about kids without structure taking energy. But great if u can deal the calendars and have some ‘catch yourself’ time!!
