The BLAHS

How to the blahs sneak up so craftily? This week is one of those blah weeks. I've been battling a slight yet annoying headache for three days. Sierra has decided she can't live without me at night, and I just feel yucky! The blahs are bad news.

The best medicine for the blahs are doing all the things I don't want to do because of the blahs.

• cleaning--- will make me feel good AFTER it's done.
  
• exercising--- the best thing to clear the cobwebs from the mind- AFTER it's done.
  
• homeschooling--- giving the kids my attention and education- I feel great AFTER it's done.
  

Knowledge tells me, I should do them and it will dissolve my blahs like a cloud on a sunny day; but the blahs mean I don't want to do anything.

I want to lay down, watch TV, eat chocolate, and go out for dinner. A dangerous move, because if I did those things then I'd feel worse and the blahs would deepen. A vicious cycle.

So today I will plow through, doing what I need to do, doing that "simple" chore checklist, that "easy" homeschool plan, do a "moderate" run.

I pray the blahs will run away too!
