This is a typical Sarah situation - I like to stick my nose into just about everything, sign up for things, say yes to everyone, then end up running around like a crazy person to get it all done. Today is a marathon around the Guetersloh/Bielefeld area, from (hopefully the last) Ikea visit to fix the damn kitchen cabinets to an interview for a training position, to lunch with a favorite former colleague, then sport club for Joey, then teaching English conversation this evening. Not to mention working on the 4,000 word essay on 19th century literature I have due next week and another on English language corpora due a week later . . .
I'm really missing the few weeks of sitting around in my pajamas that I allowed myself last year. Maybe I should sign up to be a politician as well - introducing an official "Lazy Pants Day" for all overplanned mothers? One of the best things that the West Germans failed to take over after the East German regime fell was the Hauswirtschaftstag. Back in the day, female East German workers got one day off per month to take care of household stuff. The idea itself is fabulous; too bad it probably was spent standing in line for bread.
You know where I'd spend mine, and what outfit I'd be wearing.
