There’s Always A To-Do List a Mile Long

Yesterday was a beautiful day.  We’ve had really nice (and hot) weather so far this week.  I had a class at noon and another one in the evening so between those I had a list of things I wanted to get done, but nothing that really had to be done.

So I did what any sensible blogger would do, I asked Facebook, “work or pool?” and the answer was 100% POOL.

I was on my way to the pool when my phone beeped and I looked down and saw that my lovely friend Erica had commented, “Pool!!! There’s always a list a mile long! And the pool is just so much better.”

And I started thinking, she’s right.  There IS always a list a mile long.  And when the current list gets finished, there will just be another one to replace it.

But there isn’t always beautiful, sunny, hot summer days to enjoy the pool.  While we certainly need to work in order to make a living, we also need to work at living.

I spent a glorious hour floating around in the pool 

eating raspberries

What?  Doesn’t everyone have raspberry bushes and grape vines around their pool?

And then Emma came and I stayed for another hour playing with her (which mostly consisted of her jumping in the pool, throwing the beach ball at me while I laid in the boat and tried to catch the ball with my feet).

And now today, my list is very bit as long as it was yesterday (if not longer).  And while I am attempting to get some work done early this afternoon, I am opting to do the rest of my work day after J goes to bed tonight.  Why?  So I can get my run and maybe a quick dip in the pool done before he gets home so I don’t have to do it this evening.

And if I don’t get that to-do list done tonight, there is always tomorrow.  Besides, tomorrow there is a chance of rain 😉
