I Should Be...
It's late, and I should be sleeping, but sleep is elusive tonight. (Why does this usually happen on a Saturday night?) Here are some thoughts about What I Should Be Doing:
* I should be reading to my boys; instead, I act as referee and demonstrate that my lap does have 2 sides. Hey, is anybody listening anymore?
*I should be sorting through the old, outgrown clothes; instead, I remember that I just did that and I wish away the new pile.
*I should be balancing the checkbook; instead, I have to clean my purse in order to find my checkbook.
*I should be more empathetic and understanding of my kids; instead, I sometimes feel worn down by the repetetive nature of their requests.
* I should be a better wife. Instead, I realize I am often a mediocre, boring person and I wonder why my husband married me. Did someone pay him?
*I should be more prompt about doing things, for example, sending cards. Instead, I am not.
* I should use my planner for everything, all of the time. Instead, I have an ugly whiteboard, covered with my shorthand and reminders such as "Love must exceed frustration" and "Aunt Ruby died October 20, 2008--FIND PAF DISK!" and "Pay band fees". But, it works.
*I should end this post so I can go to bed and wake up for church. And I will.
