That “First Day” Letdown

I’m feeling a little shaky today, to be honest. Which really makes no sense. Our morning has been slow paced. I didn’t have to rush anyone to do anything. Everyone ate breakfast. Rowan did dishes. Dekker took our the recycling. Laundry is humming, and I have one of the big dreaded loads of linens folded, with another one in the dryer, and another in the washer. I’ve already packed my bag for the coming lake trip. I’ve made a list of food we need to bring, and another list of things I still have to sort out. Kids laundry is caught up, and there is a plan in place for loading up tomorrow. Lists are listed. We have music going. Upstairs kids are playing lego. Downstairs kids are planing dress-up. Its been productive and fun and free of much struggle 🙂

But yikes. I feel on the verge of tears, haha! I know I’m just letting down from the rush of school and the schedule and the routine. I’m truly happy to be free of it for at least a little while. But my body and brain disagree today, and want me to pout and not accomplish my goals. Don’t worry. I’ll win. My strength is bigger than my body.

Ok. Blogging has been a nice break 🙂 And also something I can cross off my list of things to do now! Onto the next! 😅
