When husband is home, I get insanely unorganized. The house is a wreck, my office is an absolute disaster, and I'm behind on things I need to do. Husband was supposed to go offshore on Wednesday morning, but things have gotten pushed back, which of course is lovely. I adore having him home. Unfortunately, when he's home, all we want to do is hang out with each other, because we know the call could come any moment that he'll have to leave. Who wants to clean or organize paperwork when they could be snuggling on a couch for the last time for 2 weeks? But, this weekend, everything changes. I am going to organize my life. I'm going to take all the loose paperwork and put it where it belongs. I'm going to return emails and finish scanning papers and move my summer clothes back into the closet (it's in the 70's here today). I'm going to call my sister and catch up with her, I'm going to call my best friend and catch up with her. I'm going to finish sewing the purse I started a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to write for pleasure. I'm going to watch the Saints try their damndest to get into Superbowl. I'm going to clean out the tupperware containers I've been meaning to give back to my in laws for a month. I'm going to make some decisions to increase my happiness and decrease my stress level. Very much looking forward to all of it.
