Last night, no not really. I did not make it that long. Early evening, 6:30pm. I am weary. Tired. Bleary-eyed. I look at my husband and say, “Can you do cereal for dinner?” Thankfully, he said yes. I looked for something easy for me and normally it is peanut butter, but yesterday I grabbed a brownie and a roll of Ritz crackers. Yes, that was my dinner. I may have even drooled a little because keeping saliva in your mouth takes effort.
When I was done, and my husband looked at me with a one-eyed, hairy eyeball look, I got up and said goodnight. I slept all night and woke up this morning with a thankful heart. Thankful my husband ate cereal for dinner. Thankful for a good night’s sleep. Thankful for a new day with less business, more porching and time spent with my husband and dogs.
I pray you take your weary, working from home, homeschool teacher, cooker, cleaner, organizer- self- and sit down and enjoy today.
