Back to work I go.....

Posted on 02:17 by clark
    
           
           Well, it's been nice, but it's back to the real world today.  With the exception of our little getaway, the past nine days have been full of whole lot of nothingness, and I don't feel bad for that one bit.  I didn't make a to-do list while I was on vacation (I know, it's so unlike me), I didn't do any school work (I'm sure I'll regret that later), I didn't go to the gym or watch my calories (that's bound to catch up with me), and I didn't make the house perfect by cleaning or doing any other house projects (yeah, don't really feel bad about that one). 
       Usually, I spend my days off of work by trying to do million little things here and there, but nope, not this time.  This time I relaxed.....and I have to say that it was nice.  I did some reading here and there, I journaled quite a bit, and I caught up on my blog.  
      I have to tell you that I could get used to being a stay-at-home wife, but when I mentioned it to Matt, we didn't see eye to eye;)  He informed me that if I was a stay-at-home wife, then I wouldn't have been able to do some of the shopping I did for myself last week, and we wouldn't have extra money to spend on the house or my many projects that I keep coming up with for around the house, and we wouldn't have been able to take our little getaway either.  Ahh, yes, I know he's right.  My job brings extra spending money into our budget, but a girl can dream can't she?
      Well, dream over, because it is 5:00 on a Monday morning.  Time to do some morning reading with a cup of coffee, hit the gym and get ready for work. Yep, vacation is over....sigh....it was nice to have a few days with nothing to do, but today's to-do list is already getting full.  After work, I'll hit the library, go for a walk in the park, have dinner with the hubs and work on my blog a little before going to bed and waking up tomorrow to do it all over again.  But that's really ok,  because I'm thankful to  have a job that I enjoy and a week's paid vacation.  Yep, life is good:)
