Simple vs. Lame or Table for One

...and, suddenly, I am overwhelmed.
I think it's because the chaos of life rolls on, but my mind and body are ready to lay low, tuck in, and get cozy.
I am short on energy, and short on words.
I want to sit in the back booth of a busy diner, and slowly sip a hot cup of coffee...and just watch.
Things are in need of my attention; my house, my kids, my thoughts.
I want to stop, and stew in those things for awhile. I want to just simmer in my life for as long as it takes, until the meat and potatoes are tender and juicy.
I crave me some simple, and mundane.
The highlights of my day today were...I took 70-something pictures of a clock tower. I reluctantly brought store bought sugar cookies in to Griffin's school for his birthday snack (what happened to my Martha mojo?). A piece of bread I was buttering, fell, and landed butter side UP...that never happens.
See? This could get ugly. I don't have it in me to stretch it any farther than that.
Will you bare with me through my lame period? Or is it just my simple period?
Either way, I'm going to sit here for awhile, and take it all in...(slash) rest.

Sure. Don't worry people really go through such times in their lives and as a mom, things can get overwhelming. Just take some rest and everything will be fine.
I tend to get that way as the holiday season approaches. I love it but dislike the tension, stress, and swirl of activities it brings. Maybe you are resting up for the excitement (??) that lies ahead
Practice self-care.
