A whole lotta...nada

I am not even sure where this day went, as we literally did absolutely nothing all day.  One kiddo was sick as the day started, and so it really just became a lazy day for all of us at home. 

Due to the recommendation of someone, I have started a new HBO miniseries - Mildred Pierce.  I enjoy Kate Winslet and she isn't disappointing at all in this either.  Its a good "strong woman" overcoming adversity movie thus far.  Of course, I am only in the first episode, but I am sure it will continue to be just as good.  Its also a period piece of the 1930s, another thing I really enjoy as well.  The costuming, sets, everything is done very nicely.  I wish I could walk in heels as much as the women back then did. I wish I was a better housewife for that matter some days. So much as been lost in the decades since the 1950s that is for sure.  While I am not saying I want to be stuck at home being the "little wife", I do wish I was just better at taking care of our home.  I lack the energy most days to get everything done that needs to be done.  And I feel bad for that.  Kate Winslet's character spent a day just baking all day.  Oh wouldn't that be nice.  Not realistic, but nice.  I do feel that some of my lack of motivation also is due to the convenience of modern technology.  I need to have a technology "detox" and soon.
