Relaxing

Does anyone have this problem?

I have a full day off soon - no kids, no jobs, no school, nothing. This is a rare, rare thing for me (and all of you, too, I am sure).

I will spend the next week looking forward to this day.

And then I will spend the day second guessing my "do nothing" actions.

Meaning, when I sleep in, I will lie in bed trying to convince myself to get up and do things. When I watch trash on TV I will feel guilty that I'm not working on school work. If I take off the day from exercising, I will have tremendous anxiety about losing fitness and getting fat and starting a trend of not sticking to my exercise routine.

This, this is the mind of a mom. A crazy mom LOL. Because in truth, a day off with none of the above guilt induced activity would probably make me a better mom, student, and person.
