I hit the vacation snooze button today. My family was in late last week and over the holiday weekend. Everyone went home Sunday morning, and I previously elected to take today off, as well. As you may recall, I’m an introvert. Don’t get me wrong – I adore my family; they ground me and uplift me at the same time. Still, I need time to myself to recuperate. Today was just what I needed. I read with my kiddos, cooked, cleaned, ran (even in the 90-degree Texas heat at 9PM!), went to the library, did a little grocery shopping, played with toys alongside my toddler, and pinned my heart out on Pinterest.

Ahhhhhhh.

Amid all of that, I had time to think about the days ahead. I needed time to do so because I could feel the anticipation of the week building up each night as I laid down. Have you ever had one of those weeks? One that you can feel before it even occurs? Yeah…one of those.

Typically the snooze button is detrimental to sleep. This proverbial vacation snooze button was just what I needed to prepare for this short week of mine. I’m so glad I hit it.
