I am on vacation today. The kids had no school, my inlaws are going to visit their daughter in western Iowa, and my parents are on a Carribbean cruise. I was feeling lazy about tracking down a sitter, so I took the day off.
In general, I like to save my vacation for events--long weekends away, family in town, preparing for weekend events. But today I am wastefully spending a vacation day to do... nothing. When I got up this morning, my head filled up, as it usually does, with shoulds. I should clean the basement. I should finish the Disneyworld scrapbook. I should go grocery shopping. I should organize my photos. I should work out. Should should should should should. The mantra of my life.
So instead, I am changing today's theme by just 2 letters. Instead of SHould, I'm making it a day of Could. We could go to the mall. We could go to the movies. We could take a long walk in the woods and then take a nap. No plans. Just could...
