Break time!
We've been watching old seasons of The Amazing Race from Netflix and
sometimes they have a mandatory 12 hour rest. My daughter commented
that it is a good thing it is mandatory or no one would do it, they
would just keep pushing themselves. Well yesterday, some of the people
in my house kind of hit a wall. Three days of getting up 2 hours
earlier than usual (for the kids) and all the exercise and going, going,
going kind of hit us. A friend emailed to let us know that they
weren't going to be at the pool last night and at that point, we were
relieved, and not disappointed and I could really tell we needed a
break, so I cancelled chores, declared a no-mandatory-exercise day and
gave everyone a couple extra hours of screen time. We were tired so we
watched a movie, got in the pool just to float, not swim laps, and
generally took the day off. Sometimes you just really need that.
