Today is Sunday and there’s some things I have to get done, like grocery shopping and picking up the house. So, there’s a mindgame I play with myself. If I just play, then I feel guilty ’cause I’m just horrible wife and mother. If I just work, then I start feeling resentful and martyrish. So – this is what I do. Hour on, hour off. I play at whatever for an hour, then I work for an hour. On the weekends this works really great, ’cause the stuff that needs to get done does, and still feel like I got some weekend. During the week I don’t do that. It’s come home and do everything that needs doing each night after work, and depending on what Poe has already done, then it’s play time. Anyway – Poe and I both do this. I might tell him, “It’s an hour on hour off day for me.” He knows that stuff will get done. It just works for us.
I just re-read this, and I guess I ought to say what I do in “play” time… I play warcraft, or watch dvd’s, or do needle work, or I read, or do my blog/youtube/myspace stuff.
