I know Easter is coming. There are things to get done! I realize that. Workers get a 15 minute break a couple times a day. Elementary school children get recess. All the research shows that workers and children are more productive with these little breaks. That is exactly why a mom needs to take a day off before a time that will demand a lot of physical and emotional energy. Easter is one of those times.
- There will food to cook
- Outfits to get ready
-
Pictures to take
- Food to prepare
- Shopping of all kinds
- Easter basket preparations
- Easter egg hunts
- Extended family activities
- House guests
- Lots and lots of unpredictable moments that cause stress
- House to clean for guests
- Traveling to relatives
The list could go on but I'll stop here. I am tired even thinking about it. Maybe you need to simplify your schedule. That's another subject for another post. I think you need to plan a "kick back day" now and another one right after Easter. I think you need them both!
