June 11 – Rest

Written on June 11, 2009 by emily

So, I’ve sat and stared for a good half hour, and I simply have nothing to write except that I have nothing to write and I must rest. But being the stubborn girl that I am, I am writing something anyway, even if its just late-night ramblings of nearly nothing…I have a challenge to meet, to write every day in June, and I’m not about to let some wiped-out mommy thing get the best of me. I had a productive day. Housecleaning done. Friends entertained. Children tickled. Prayers prayed. Most days are not usually as full with bustle, but it feels good to exercise my domestic muscles. Although I’ll never be anything like Martha Stewart, I can see why women who keep their homes in similar condition to her feel pride in their work…I’m at peace knowing my bathrooms are freshly scrubbed, the clutter is all picked up, and when I wake up in the morning, I can do something other than a cleaning project. Now I think I’ll go rest myself and check in again tomorrow. Goodnight.
