Restful but busy day

I had a lovely long lie in this morning which helped me feel better.

When I got up I decided that I would work on cleaning my partner's and my bedroom. I spent a while clearing things out of the way and putting clothes into a pile to get sorted out later. By the end of the day it looked so much better. I like sleeping in a room that is tidy. Especially when the floor is clean and clear.

Though the kitchen need cleaning again. It feels never ending. I would love a day when it is all clean at the same time. At least the living room is still clean.

The younglings have been not too bad today. Sometimes they were pests but other times they were great. I did get snippy with my youngest son but I said sorry for going too far and things were fine after that. It was just a part of the day when I was feeling frustrated.

I need to learn to recognize the feelings and then let them go. I will have to see if there is anything about that in my Buddhist book about that. If not then I will have to look on the Internet.

I have started to read the Star Wars books that I have been reading to the younglings at night. I have really enjoyed how the story is developing and I found myself looking ahead to find out what was going to happen. I then decided that it would be better to just read them instead. I have been able to read through them at a surprisingly quick rate. I have read two of the books today. I have really enjoyed them. It does not bother me that they are aimed at children. It is well written and the story is good. I think that is the most important thing about a book. I have started ordering the Jedi Quest series. It will be nice to read about how what happened between Ferus Olin and Anakin Skywalker.
