I am sitting in the computer room overlooking the park, watching the kids come and go. Today was a long day. Ethan had an upper GI test (x-ray with dye in his stomach). The test was at 8:30. I expected to get out by 10:30, take Ethan to lunch, and then have some me time (since I was taking a vacation day from work).
Well the test took longer than I expected. We got out at 12:30, had lunch, went to Target (so I could pay off my bribe) and went home. By the time we got home, I was mentally exhausted. I help Ethan assemble his new Lego sets and fell asleep for an hour on the couch.
I spent the rest of the day sitting on the porch watching Ethan play with his friends in the park. Not a bad day. But not the day I wanted. I know it is selfish, but I want to just do my own thing for a day, just a day. I feel like I am letting myself go to seed and I need time to just work out “things.” My priorities are a mess at the moment. I need to recharge.
