This past weekend we celebrated Chloe’s 11th birthday, Amanda came home from college and my parents visited. They left this morning, taking Chloe and Halle with them for a week and a half. This is usually the point where I’d wax poetic about life and all that I’ll accomplish while they’re gone but I’m going to skip that this time. Because I’m tired and I need a break. While they’re gone I plan on sleeping. I’m hoping to con persuade Travis to pick up dinner for us more than once. Every day is probably a stretch. I plan on getting coffee out and I’m going to read a book. It won’t be on theology or anything terribly important. I might even get a pedicure. I’m going to take a walk without Daisy and I might even get to the antique shops I’ve never visited but have always intended to. And I will try to not think about all the things I’m going to write about when my little break is over.
Because I am on vacation.
Enjoy it!

Oh my…I might be just a little jealous. Just a little. We have VBS next week and I “volunteered” to help. I’ll try not to think of you. 🙂

Thanks, Ladies. Mary does that mean you were volunteered for VBS?

I was asked to help but they still call me a volunteer. I don’t see it that way at all. I see myself feeling guilty if I don’t say “yes.” The only reason I didn’t say “no” was because I couldn’t think of any excuse except for “this is the first year I can leave all three of them here and go off by myself for a few hours.” Somehow that sounded really selfish when there was a shortage of good help. And…it’s just to help the kids learn the songs…that’s it…it could be much, much worse.

I figured it was something like that 😦 I think that’s a very good reason…not an excuse at all. But I understand that functions need volunteers so I hope it’s more fun than you’re anticipating.
