Cleaning Day
Another snow day. Ugh! I know that Robby and Scott are delighted with
their impromptu vacation gifted by Mother Nature, but I am beginning to
feel overwhelmed. I had to reschedule meetings and appointments to stay
home with Robby last week, and I really need a few days to get caught
up. I'm not able to do much when the weather ties me to the house! I'm
trying to release my weather frustrations because I know that this is a
situation over which I have no control. I've come to the conclusion that
I despise not being in control.
I woke up early (3
AM) to tackle the reports that need to be finished today. Trying to
concentrate on a snow day is impossible so I've learned that if I need
to think I need to do it before everybody wakes up. With my thought
intensive work complete, I am going to relax knowing that I don't have
any pressing projects that need attention. My appointments will all have
to be rescheduled, but I suspect that most people with kids will be
juggling to readjust their schedules today.
Instead
of fretting over what I'm not doing, today I am going to concentrate on
something I can control. The downstairs is a mess and is overrun with
dirt and clutter. Since we have ice and not snow, Robby won't be
outside playing. Therefore, I think that the perfect storm has been
created for an all hands on deck cleaning project. I fully anticipate
complaining from both boys but I am undeterred in the mission.
Lately
I feel as if things have been spinning out of control. Overwhelmed with
work and personal issues, sometimes I feel like I'm living from crisis
to crisis. I need to take steps to reel in the chaos and to recenter
myself. I always feel less stressed and more in control after we clean
and purge the clutter in my house. Since I tend to avoid the downstairs
of my house because of the overwhelming mess, I figure that this is
probably the perfect place to start regaining control. Thankfully I
have extra helpful (if not so eager) hands to help today, courtesy of
the snow day.
