Women don't sit down...

Why is it that we come home from work with the best intentions to do a few things on our TO DO list, only to find ourselves sitting down, and relatively vegging out... which of course leaves our TO DO list for tomorrow...... *sigh*

It was my goal to come home and get some things done today:

1. put away the laundry (check)
2. clean out the purse (check)
3. clean off the top of the desk
4. work in the yard
5. empty the dishwasher
   
6. start homework {and maybe even finish homework!}

*sighs again*

And here I sit, computer at the ready, and its all I can do to move from screen to screen checking email, MySpace and FaceBook. (maybe I wasn't the only one with a complaint; I see they've made changes again!)

These short little three hour windows to get a complete list done is sometimes daunting, and rather than start something that can't be finished, we would rather not start at all. In all honesty, I'd just as soon cook dinner, take a shower, grab a book (along with my dinner) and curl up in a chair to read, and keep an eye on the Olympics.

But for busy women of the 21st century, we're too busy to "just do that". Have we taken a wrong turn somewhere? Why is it that women don't sit down and take a half hour (or more!!) for themselves? Ignoring our passions, our wants, our desires, can make women self-destructive. Yes, there's time to make time for ourselves, to do the things we enjoy! Give yourself permission to indulge in something for YOU today! I think I'm going to start dinner, hop in the shower, curl up with a book ..... (yep, you get the idea!)

HUGS to everyone!
