Do you have days when you get nothing done? It appears that today is going to be one of those days. I have a few little ones who aren't feeling well. In fact I spent several hours on the couch last night with the youngest little. I don't think I am much use today at all frankly.
I have work I need to do but I don't think it will get done. I am pretty tuckered out myself.
Today is one of those days when we put our feet up and take the day off.
I must admit I struggle on days like this. I don't mind taking a break. I don't mind letting my wee ones cuddle in front of the TV for the day. (Although there is some guilt there at times.)
My struggle is that I have so much that needs to be done and I feel guilty for not doing my work.
I don't like looking at all my undone work. It can be overwhelming at times.
I am learning that these days are necessary. My kids need me to rest and give them the freedom to rest as well. If I am always focused on the work that needs to be done I am not teaching my kids about the importance of rest.
I am not talking about laziness for the sake of being lazy. My kids have a lot of chores they are responsible for during the week. If I am demonstrating that there is no time to rest and just be together I am neglecting my kids.
