| What To Do Today |
As anyone with children can tell you, the breaks from school can seem daunting. Trying to accomplish any task not connected to the children and their lives is nearly impossible. Although rewarding, in the end, their can be many "cabin fever" type moments and inevitably, you get on each other's nerves. Today is one such day.
Don't get me wrong, I adore my older children (even though I am deeply in the throes of adoration for the quiet little one right now :) I simply need to sit down and work on some writing for a deadline and find my mind cluttered and distracted by loud thumpings that could possibly be bodily injury taking place in one of our upstairs rooms. Oh well.
Today will be a "writing day," or at least that is what I have in the works. Pure research, planning, and writing. I plan on drinking lots of coffee and really digging into a stereotypical picture of the writer in his/her process. Can't wait. Please wish me luck as I attempt to carve out a piece of this day for my own selfish desires. It is difficult for a parent to break the mold of constantly giving and to TAKE. It needs to happen, however. A person cannot simply stop living their personality and growing. Growth is the goal. Well, growth is MY goal. In my faith, my singing, my art, my writing, in my capacity to enable my children to have a good life, and in my persona as a supportive and loving wife. There are times when growth is not fun and you're tired and just want to lock yourself up in a room and (in my case) watch foreign films like a chain smoker (I HATE smoking, BTW).
Somehow today I intended on writing about a completely different topic and am now rambling on, yet again, about my personal growth and feeling somewhat reclusive the last couple of weeks. Just a phase, I guess.
Until tomorrow...
