Whew! The last of the family visitors just rolled out of the driveway. We waved like mad, and we will miss them very much. Now it's time to turn back into the house and take stock of all that's left behind. The toys are everywhere, the laundry is mountainous, and there are crumbs and dishes strewn from heck to breakfast. The combination of the messy house and after-holiday let down can be a little demoralizing. Or a lot.
That is why I'm giving you official permission to take the day off. Don't deal with the chaos and clutter right now. Instead give yourself some time to sit back, relax, and gather your equalibrium. Drink a cup of tea, read a crappy magazine, and take a walk with your kids or your dog. Later today, gather the food messes into the kitchen, and make sure nothing too terrible is brewing. Otherwise, just let it all sit until tomorrow. Nothing terrible will happen I promise.
