Why do we do it. What is it with us women. When we say we're going to do nothing and have an easy day why don't we mean it. What we really mean an easy day on top of all the things we do to run a household anyway. The washing, the ironing, the putting away, then the thinking up meals, the shopping, the preparing a meal. Weeding the garden, dusting, cleaning out cupboards, decluttering, vacumming. Are we so afraid that if someone comes and says 'and what did you do today' and you reply "oh I had an easy day today" that they are gonna look around the place and say"yep, it sure looks like it". I'm long since past caring about that. But whenever I say I'm going to have an easy day I seem to find extra energy to get big jobs done. Perhaps an easy day for me is one where I can get extra jobs done - but at my leisure. If I want to pull everything out of the cupbaords and then go and sit down for 20 mins stitching then I can. If I want to leave the vacumm in the middle of the room till I get a fresh burst of energy to finish then I will. Which is exactly what I did yesterday.
Though leaving the vacumm in the bedroom doorway wasn't such a good idea as I forgot it was there at bedtime and went flying.
But today - its an easy day. Shoe shopping. Theres big shoe sale over in Mareeba and thats where a friend and I are headed in about an hour. Which means I better get a wriggle on and get showered and dressed.

Crochet, Embroidery, Family History, Decluttering, and the occasional rant and rave about Telco's, idiotic drivers, and the world in general. Peppered with life's everyday little hiccups, pleasantries and amusing anecdotes.
Hope you had a good day - new shoes?
