- Putting away Christmas decorations
- Washing clothes
- Scrubbing a toilet or three
- Grading poems
- Unloading the dishwasher
- Delivering [more] bags to Goodwill
- Thinking about what to have for dinner
- Performing many other important household chores
But I am stuck, feeling foggy & tired; lying down for an hour or so sounds good but seems indulgent and decadent. Like I should put on a negligee, grab a martini & a Valium and swagger up to my bed muttering for the children to be quiet while Mommy takes a break. That would be wrong, right?
