it's all about balance. when my life is in balance--meaning when my house is clean, my work is caught up, i've had time to exercise AND time to hang out with my family (without thinking about cleaning, working or exercising) i feel really happy. but the minute one of those things is off kilter, i have a hard time functioning. i spent all last week watching the days rush by, work crash in, the kids mess up the house and my bike rides go right out the window. i didn't want to face another week like it so...
i spent my weekend at home. the whole time. i cleaned really good, caught up on work, got all the laundry done, tackled the yard work, took two long bike rides, watched movies with the boys, had margaritas with the husband, dog-sat a really goofy dog and i just now caught up on all those blogs i have been neglecting.
it wasn't a glamorous weekend. actually, it wasn't even that fun. but i know that i needed it. and now that i'm facing another crazy week, it feels pretty good to know that for today, at least, everything is just where it needs to be.

i got home from church yesterday, and proceeded to spend 10 hours on the couch, with the remote, my napping pillow, siesta, an afghan and several books and magazines.
ahhhhhhh.

Again, I realize we are the same person. Balance in my life makes me content too. Although it doesn't seem to happen too often!

I can so relate-sometimes I can not go on until the mental list of "stuff" gets done, just the way I want it to. Glad you are feeling balanced!

How in the world did you get all THAT done in one weekend. Still trying to figure how to do that so I can have some balance during the week. I think I get tired of doing all the cleaning & yard work myself, could be lack of motivation I guess.
