I Should Have…
Have you ever done something you know you shouldn’t have? When a part of you is urging you to stop, but you can’t so you continue on…
Tonight was one of those nights. When I should have been writing, I decided to check my bloglines. And after seeing close to 1000 posts unread, I decided to browse and read and comment. And check my email repeatedly though no new emails came in after nine!
It’s past midnight and I haven’t written a lick. Though today when I should have been doing the laundry or making my kids’ lunch, I was editing a friend’s chapters and revising my own.
Why is it so hard sometimes to do what is right? What is good for us? Like scrapping the healthy dinner I had planned and meeting a friend for the pizza buffet tonight?
I guess it all boils down to self-control or does it? Maybe it’s about burnout, or wanting to do our own thing, especially us moms. How many of you out there would LOVE to have a day all to yourself just to do as you wish without having to take care of anyone?
I think I feel a weekend writing get-a-way coming on soon!
