ever have a day……..
ever have a day where you really get nothing substantial accomplished? I was up early, showered and dressed for the day. That’s when I should have gone back to bed. Suddenly I felt that rush of adrenaline come on and boom, panic attack hits! No idea why. I layed down, did my yoga breathing and kept telling myself I wasn’t dying. Dishes are done, laundry has been running, some papers filed and I did take time to eat a good tasting salad for lunch. It’s a day where all I want to do is curl up under a pile of blankets and watch Practical Magic….it’s rainy and dreary outside, which I like just fine but it certainly does dictate how I feel about my day and what I want out of it. As much as I adore my family I would really enjoy having the house to myself for about a week:-) Kids start filtering through any minute….I sure have come to really like my time alone during the day and notice when it’s disrupted!
Alone time tucked away sounds like something you really need! Hope you carve out some time for it.

I think it’s a combination of 10 puppies to care for and the schedule change. It’s ok, I just need to reajust my schedule and expectations. Kids are all on different schedules now and I haven’t adjusted yet. The mornings have been so dark and cold that I’ve stayed in bed until 6:30 on most weekdays. I’d probably find my days in better sync if I got up at 5 like I used to do before winter came.

Hope you find a way to get your energy back & stop feeling so overwhealmed. I’m having a quiet morning, today…. Slept till 9:45, woke up naturally. Made a pot of coffee, started a batch of wheat/rye/sourdough-challah. We’ll see how it turns out. Getting some laundry done, washed dishes, bumming on the computer.
Sometimes it just takes a quiet day like this to feel reconnected to the every day. The basics are important too, and running around TOO much can really serve to sever one’s connection to what is most important. Though, DD does have a hockey game this evening, so I won’t get to be totally lazy all day today. *sigh*
Hope you’re feeling better, Kathy!
