Today was my first day of really nothing pressing that needed to be done and no kids around. I finished classes up at then end of the week last week. And today I discovered that I make a really bad stay-at-home mom. Ok, I confess I knew that a while ago but today was confirmation of that. I had great intentions, I really did, they just didn't play out. You have seen the Vegas commercial where they guy steps out of his room to get something and ends up locked out of his room. On the way to get a new key he gets side tracked and ends up being gone the entire day only to get back to his room to discover he still didn't have a key. Yep, it was that kind of day.
Completely out of everything in the house, I needed to go to the commissary. I couldn't even try to make a haphazard lunch for the kids, so they ended up with hot lunch. That was my goal for the day. After I got the kids on the bus I took a walk, showered, ended up taking a nap, played a round of Wheel of Fortune on the DS, and finally got a round to making my list and headed off. On the way I wanted to check the availability at the spa. To my luck they had an opening so I spent the next hour relaxing with some hot stones. Now, the kids were to be home in an hour so back home I went still having nothing to eat in the house. Again, I could have been productive in the last 45 min but nope, I laid on the couch and read a book.
We ended up going after we had dinner (I froze some meals the week after he left). And to my surprise the kids were well behaved through the entire trip. We even manage to get everyone in bed on time and homework done. My husband has said from the beginning that he didn't care if I worked after I finished my degree. After today, I am sure he may change his mind. I am much more productive when I have lots going on.
