LAZY DAYS!!!!


So for all you women out there who spend almost every minute of your day dropping or picking up children somewhere, getting the house clean, making dinner, possibly working full or part time, keeping a husband happy, scrapbooking, sewing, baking, working out and the many other things that keep your life hectic, honestly count your blessings. This past week has probably been the laziest week of my life, and really for no reason then I wanted to be and I could. I had a cyst removal on Wednesday which made me take it easy for a couple of days and I got a small case of the flu on Saturday and Sunday, but honestly nothing that big. For some reason though I just wanted to be lazy. I went for one run this whole week, ate unbelievably unhealthy (like gain 5 lbs in one week unhealthy), maybe made 2 home made dinners and cleaned my house once. The rest of the time was spent sleeping, watching movies, playing on the internet, eating and reading. I did work 2 shifts this week at work but other then that, my week was a waste. I feel so guilty as I look back on all the things I could have done with my life and didn't. I know all of you busy women reading this right now are thinking, I would love a week to do nothing, and most of you deserve that. However I found at the end of this lazy week I feel sadder, as I thought way to much about the trials in my life, fatter as I ate way to much food, completely unsatisfied as I got nothing accomplished and did nothing to improve my life and guilty for wasting a whole week of this wonderful, beautiful life my Savior has given me. I hope to at least learn from this week and not let days like this happen again. So this week there is a huge long list on my bedroom mirror of things I am going to make sure happen this week.

  1. We ALL need down time, doesn't matter our life's situations! Dont' beat your self up for taking me time! You will look back and be glad you did. Our lesson this past week was on work, repsonsiblity and REST.
