Finally! A 4-Day Weekend Coming My Way!

My mind is racing at 100 miles a minute. So many things happening that I can't focus. I decided to take 2 days off. I submitted my request 2 weeks ago to have this Friday and Monday off. That will give me 4 days off in a row.
Hoping that I can accomplish a bit of organizing in my home. Once that is done maybe I can gain the ability to focus on me.
Of course I will take some time for me as well. I so need that. I don't plan on spending the entire day inside my home. I am going to do things that are fun for me. Not sure what that is because I haven't done fun things in quite a while.
There are so many things in my personal life that are dragging me down. Nothing I have control over so I need to seperate myself from them. Still, I am bogged down by them. I pray that each resolves on their own.
Hoping that we get some warmer weather so I can get outside for a little while and take a walk. Even if it is for a short distance it will help to clear my mind and build a little bit of my strength back. Seems all I do lately is sit on my rear end and do nothing. That isn't healthy for body or mind.
For now, I will start with this weekend. From there I hope to do more. We all must keep in mind that nothing ventured is nothing gained.

I keep telling myself that I need to have more "me" time. Actually doing it is a problem.

@DianneN the past three days have been so much fun I've done hardly anything and enjoyed every minute of it.

I really hope you can go for a nice walk and do something fun for yourself. Maybe a paint night? Or just go get a trim done?

@Courtlynn anything that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and can be done in a couple of hours is a good thing.

It is snowing now and will do so throughout the day and night. Yay. But, it is supposed to be a bit warmer so I can take Little Miss outside to play for a short time.

I believe I can accomplish the organization part in 2 days time. The other 2 days will be just for me.

I know what you mean, I have my days controlled by life, and really need some me time. Time off should help you, I hope you get to do something fun for yourself.

It may not be anything more than going to a store without a child in tow or going to visit my mother and sharing a meal with her. But, it will be time for me.

Normal days are far from normal. I have much to do and hoping that I can get a leg up on it before my days off.

I need time to get things done at home without a toddler underfoot. Lol.
Also a little time for me to sit back and relax.

It would be great if I could travel to Maine and spend a few hours at the beach.
I'll have to be happy with staying close to home.

You will get much accomplished if you set your mind to it.

I am mentally making a list of what to do and how to do it. I'll write it down soon and then follow through with it. Once done I will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
