Today I'm starting to finalize the plans for the high school kids' school year, which, incidentally, begins on Monday. I've been mulling it all around in my brain for awhile, now I'm just pulling the books and putting it all on paper.
It has taken me all morning and into the afternoon to do one child. My brain feels like it is moving at the speed of molasses, making me feel like I'm trudging my way through a thick swamp.
This used to happen because of lack of sleep due to small children and infants. Now I'm thinking that it might be because I'm approaching menopause. Or is it something I ate that is dragging me down? What about all the stressful situations in my life right now? Could that be slowing me down? Maybe it is a combination of some of them. Or even all of them!
I took a walk to the mailbox (which is actually a bit farther than it sounds) only to find that the mail was outside my front door. That's okay, the short walk in the cool temperatures and sunshine felt nice.
I feel like gorging on chocolate and just vegging out rather than sitting down to tackle the next student who is eagerly awaiting their school schedule (haha, I know you laughed, too!).
Some days when I get like this, I forge ahead with what needs to be done, and other days I give in and quit thinking. This day, after analyzing the situation to the best of my ability, I think I must forge ahead and at least get that next student underway. Then it's cooking dinner and meal planning for next week; both of which should thoroughly utilize any existing brain cells I have left.
What do you do on days like this? Go for the chocolate or push through it? I'd love to hear your insight.
God Bless!
