Yesterday was my day of rest. The computers went down at work last week and stressful wouldn’t even describe it! I normally never have a Saturday off unless I am going out of town and request it and Sundays have just recently been a normal day off for me. Which never turn out to be, since after church there is always something that comes up. So I gave strict instructions to my husband to not plan a thing! He always seems to have plans or to say “I told you” about this or that…like don’t you remember that pot luck I signed us up for where you are supposed to make the Main Course?” I told yoooou!!!” Argh!
I took a long shower and then stayed in my pj type clothes all day! My mom scolds me about getting dressed and putting my make up on daily but I say let her try to have the week I had and see if she might give me a hiatus for just one day.
I think I felt guilty starting out. I had looked forward to a day of getting a lot done and yet having nothing at all planned. I woke up excited for a day off and kind of angry for no reason. I felt like a rubberband, wound up tightly. No one was putting anything on me. I was putting it all on myself. I kind of felt like a cat batting at the wind, just daring anyone to disturb my territory that I had allocated all for me. I puttered for the most part. Caught up with my emails, paid some bills and filed them! And then wrote all day. In the background I played Redeemed about 899 times on my Itunes. (have you heard it?!) I felt so connected to those words. Now the sun is rising and I feel refreshed. I had been so stuck last week. Yesterday, I started out so tightly wound, wanting to connect with God and yet not allowing anyone in. Protecting my right for nothing to interrupt me that I missed the plans He may have had for me!
Live and learn! My day off was interrupted by ME!!!!!!!!
Don’t be too hard on yourself, God can’t love you any more ~ pajama days or not. cheers Graeme
I know! I’ve been reading your blog and it is amazing! I am being set free from my guilt of pj days an much more! thank you for being HIS vessel!
So glad for you, it’s why Christ came. G
Yeah you guys I agree! without any guilt, thank you very much! Grin~
We are our own worst enemies.. I love PJ dayz and no make-up days are even better 🙂
I love pajama days. A day without commitments comes along so seldom, it’s wise to stay in pjs so you can’t leave the house.
