The emotional roller coaster brought on by pregnancy hormones made a few stops at our house today. I had a mini meltdown when I walked into the kitchen this morning and realized J had forgotten to take out the trash. Another mini meltdown emerged when my computer kept freezing up while I was trying to work. I finally lost it entirely when my husband called to tell me about his doctor's appointment (not really sure why that put me over the edge).
I decided to take an hour for lunch (instead of working through as always), straightened up the house, took a hot shower, and made myself some lunch. When I clocked back in, my 2pm meeting had been cancelled and our internal software had crashed. You might think this would send me spiraling out of control, but I was actually kind of thrilled. I'm taking a much needed afternoon off, that doesn't involve doctor's visits, chores, or anything at all really. I may regret this when I'm making up hours on Saturday, but for now I'm enjoying the peace and quiet of a clean house while I can.
Sometimes you just need to take a time out, and start the afternoon as though the morning never happened.
