Life, and all the many opportunities and challenges that come with it, sometimes exhilarate me. Other times, all those "opportunities" flat out exhaust me. It feels like I am running in place on an extremely steep hill.
This weekend, we came to Greg's parents house for the Labor Day holiday. We brought life jackets, swim paraphernalia, outdoor toys and scooters to ride. We haven't done one of those things yet. It has been raining or extremely wet since we arrived.
Guess what?? I am totally fine with it!
I read a book last night. In its entirety. I can't tell you the last time I have done that.
400+ pages of The Hurricane Sisters by Dorothea Benton Frank and I was enthralled. I read off and on while breaking up disagreements, playing memory and Jenga and eating some good BBQ. Then, I read for hours after all my little people were in bed. It was divine.
Today, we have lounged around, played a few games, watched some cartoons and read some more. The forecast is calling for more of the same.
I know the boys are a little disappointed, but I am not.
When we return we have soccer practices, football practices, meetings, church, home projects and work. For three solid days, we have nothing we "have" to do and I am soaking every second of that up while I can.
