okay so as it turns out my vacation wasn’t so bad. friday and saturday were spent at the lake with friends. it was a great time to visit and connect. although now i am a little on the “sick” side. too much fun in such a short time wore me down!
so today is the start of the new week (actually that was yesterday, but i’m much more tired today because of yesterday). much to do so i must go. no rest for the working!
i love date night. vincent and i go out to eat. that’s it. we don’t have limitations on conversation. we talk about business, church, the kids, whatever. not very many times do we get to leave moncks corner, but when we do we try to eat somewhere we haven’t been. tonight we went to chili’s! don’t start with the “you small town people” junk. going out at all is a big deal for me. i got to wear my new sundress, we sat outside on the patio so i didn’t need a coat to enjoy my food and it was just… nice. anyway just wanted to share. oh and i think we are doing fireworks! see nice.
i, like everyone else at pncc, am on vacation. i, unlike everyone else, am vacationing! i have done about 12 loads of laundry (still working on that), went to the grocery store twice, have attended 2 haircuts, 1 jewelry party, memorized the motions for kp praise and worship, read 2 1/2 of the 4 summer reading books required for my kids and will be attending 2 doctor appts. scheduled for tomorrow. oh yes and we’ve eaten, but not out.
no beach, no pool, no laying out in the back yard, no sitting around visiting with friends (apparently you have to be invited to attend this sort of thing unless you have some place grand to offer then you may do the inviting, but don’t bother if you don’t). chances are there will be no fireworks because my husband doesn’t care to be among people. (this could be a whole other post, but i’m not going there. instead i’m thinking fast!) it’s not friday yet, things could change.
why do they call it vacation? what does that mean? at my house it means you have more hours in the day to do housework! which is good, because since you are home more hours in the day there is more housework to do. of which i can’t seemed to get inspired to finish.
oh well it’s almost over. and back to work i go. can’t wait. at least then, i’ll get some rest!
