Today I finally had a day off work after working through the weekend and for 6 days straight. I did get to sleep in until 10:30, which I NEVER do, so I know my body must of really needed the rest!
I thought I was going to have a relaxing day off, but then I immediately started thinking about all of the things I needed to do. ALL day I drove around running errands (aaand I forgot to get Zoe's nails clipped - oops!). I then came home and did 6 loads of laundry and cooked dinner. I started to think and try to figure out why my day's off now never feel like days off. Here's what I came up with:
1-My job doesn't allow a day off. I'm in constant communication with my store, and even when I'm not there I'm thinking about something I need to do when I get back to the store.
2- I'm married now and responsible for 2 lives instead of 1 (3 if we count Zoe :) ). This means twice as much laundry, twice as much follow up on errands, and twice as much food & dishes.
3- I share a bank account now. Before on my days off, I would come up with something crafty to do or go shopping. Now that I have a sweet husband who likes to save much more than we spend, I have to think twice about this now. I have to remind myself that we want a house much more than I need a cute new outfit. No shopping = no fun.
So, there we have it. Does anyone else feel this way?? If I'm feeling this way about my day's off now, what am I going to do when we have a kid???
I don't want this post to sound negative, so I'll end on a positive note - "God never said it was going to be easy, He just said it would be worth it."
