today i played hookie...




and it's been sooooooo nice!  Today was my Bible Study day which I love, but I woke up this morning feeling very frazzled due to self-imposed to-do's.   Yesterday I'd planned on tackling a bunch of stuff, but ended up doing 7th grade math & science instead!  (Why is it that I feel like I'm in middle school again?!?)  So, a 3 hour chunk of my day was spent helping out with homework.  By the way, I really do love helping with homework...it's one of the reasons I make sure I'm home in the afternoons, but yesterday took a bit more time than I'd expected.  Anyhow, I woke up this morning knowing that I had a 3-hour Bible Study ahead of me, for which I hadn't yet completed my homework...(maybe I could get my 7th grader to do my Bible homework?!?), and decided to play hookie.  I have to admit, it's was just what I needed.  I've been at home all day with no distractions and have calmly gotten through many of my To-Do's.

Many times I freak out over all that has to be done, when really none of it has to be done...it's just what is on my list!  And I hate leaving things on the "list" without them being crossed off!

So, today has been a day of getting things done without any pressure and it's been lovely!!! 

If you had a day to play hookie, what would you want to accomplish?

Today I'm just taking it easy... my chest hurts from an asthma attack last night so I've decided to relax & do not much of anything. I may work on a few "to do's", but like you said, it'll be at a leisurely pace! ;) Enjoy your day!!
