Many of today’s moms trudge around in circles from morning until night, wondering how they can get everything done. Many are employed full-time while also taking care of families, chauffeuring kids, fixing meals, cleaning the house, and trying to maintain marriages, friendships, and spiritual obligations. It’s a breathless way of life we call “routine panic.”

It's been a long, but wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. We are definitely enjoying the four day weekend, even forgetting what day it is for real.
We are also taking a break from the everyday chores of living like laundry and washing dishes. This morning our kitchen sink looked like a pile of dirty pots and pans. I think every spoon, bowl and cup was in there that we owned. Not only was the sink overflowing, but so were the counters.
We laughed out loud upon seeing that huge mess. We are two people and yet we have created such a mess. That's what happens when we become lazy for a day. Can you imagine a family of five or more?
Living life creates a mess and we are so hard on ourselves if we don't reside in that perfect Brady Bunch household. Appearance means more to us than the quality spent with our families.
Well, that's something we can't be accused of during this Holiday weekend here in this apartment. We did tackle all our chores today after giving ourselves a break, but everything we did, we did in a leisurely way. There was no rush, no condemnation, no self analysis. We are on a small vacation after all.
Reality of the work week will be here sooner than we may want it. At least, we can enjoy the few days of laziness that we are blessed to come our way (lol). So enjoy your life, folks. Once in a while, we just have to forget about those dishes.
Have a Blessed day everyone.
