Spring Break
Everyone keeps asking me what I am going to do with a whole week off for Spring Break. Actually, this is the first break in nearly 10 years that I will not be getting on a airplane to go somewhere. I have nothing really scheduled, and I am thrilled to death at the prospects of what these uncommitted hours will hold. While I have no real plans, I do have some ideas of what I will do. This week, I plan to be a Domestic Goddess and relish in the mundane things at home.
This week:
- I will linger over the Word with my colored pencils and several cups of coffee instead of rushing through in an effort to get to work on time.
- I will NOT have to stare at a pile of clean laundry, as I will have time to actually fold it and put it away.
- I will be relaxed when I enter my home because everything will actually be in place for a change.
- I will read a book or two (I already checked one off the list when I got off work Friday!!)
- I will visit with friends for fun and be available if they call in need of a helping hand.
- I will practice my crafty skills by sewing and crocheting.
- I will bake a cheesecake and cook dinner each night for my precious husband. I will even enjoy shopping for groceries this week!
- I will actually spend time with my husband rather than rushing off to bed or being asleep when he comes home from work.
- I will begin to implement some of my plans for supplementing my husband’s income when I quit teaching this fall. I am working on stock for a future Etsy store, meeting with a friend about a tutoring opportunity, and posting a few things we don’t use onto E-bay.
- Most importantly, I will not be stressed and I will be content.
