Today, I am exhausted.

My mind is clouded with all of the responsibilities sitting on my shoulders. Responsibilities that I sometimes want a break from. Laundry. Cleaning the floors. Dusting. Washing and drying our bedding. Putting away laundry. Wiping down the cabinets.

While the rest of my mind is thinking about the clutter that lay just beyond my reach. The bottom of our walk in closet. Every drawer in our bathroom. The junk drawer in the kitchen. The pantry.

Some days, it’s hard to have a work, life balance while making sure I maintain my hobbies. Other days it’s easy.

It’s been a hard week.

Generally, I save time on the weekends to do deep cleaning, organization, and basic chores that get away from me. This weekend, I did not since it was filled with birthday celebrations and a baby shower.

I got a head start on it since I got out work early today. I have a half day tomorrow as well to be some want productive, however, it’s not what I want to do.

I want to crochet and watch trash tv. I want to read my book that’s getting to the good part. I want to play my game because I haven’t touched it since the update.

Mostly, I want a week off from my daily chores and responsibilities. Especially since I’ve picked up others chores this week as well. I crave balance.

I crave a vacation from me.
