The Best Use of Time

Today's agenda looked something like this:

5:30 Get Up and Exercise
6:30 Bible Study and Breakfast
6:45 Shower and Dress
7:00 Household Chores/Wait for Elle to Wake
7:30 Feed and Dress Elle
8:30 Run Errands to Craft Store, Kohl's, Teacher Store
11:00 Home
12:00 Lunch
1:00 Nap for Elle
1:00 Personal Time
2:00 Clean House
3:30 Play with Elle
4:00 Dinner Prep
4:30 Hubby Home

and so on...

I only did the errands.  Well, that's not quite true.  I did manage to do Bible Study and dress and feed my child.  I woke up with a headache and a neck that refused to move within normal range.  I hurt.  Surprisingly, I am not whining.  However, I am being very hard on myself for not exercising or completing the household tasks I had planned to do.  Currently it is nap time and my only plan is to fold some laundry and sit on the sofa.  I struggle when I am not feeling productive and don't complete my agenda.  But today, the best use of my time is rest.  I can't do anything else and taking on my previously planned tasks will only cause me trouble in the long run.  So, rest.  And, that's okay.  That's what I'm telling myself.
