on the work front, anyways. Both my bosses are gone now for the rest of the week for a staff retreat so my world has come to a screaching halt. Hallelujah! Somewhere I hear the chorus being sung. I’ve needed a few days of down time. The administrative assistants were all really busy yesterday morning trying to get everything completed before their bosses left for the week. By days end, we were exhausted and were watching the clock hoping 4:30 would come quickly.
We’ve made some progress on the home front preparing for Ruthie in the past week. We’ve managed to get the closet cleaned, clothes spot treated, washed, and hung up, old closet inhabitants have found a new home and others found a new home at the church caring center. I still have about 130 shoes to sell of which I’ve taken a brief hiatus from this week due to other obligations. I feel so much better about our progress but still there is so much needing to be done. A computer desk to divest, a wireless router to purchase, a computer to sell and a room to paint.Â
This weekend we will have house guests, Laurel and Charles will be coming into town for a wedding and will be bedding down at our place. I am hoping we can still sleep in as this week has proven to be one of little sleep. I don’t know what we’ll do as there just isn’t a lot to do here but we’ll take it as it comes I guess. Next week we’re planning a trip to Tennessee to spend with a friend for her 30th birthday. It will be a very short one day trip but I just don’t know that I would be up to much more than that at this point. Especially after coming off of this weekend with Laurel and Charles. I have found myself in a much different mental status lately. The desire to stay home is growing as my nesting is beginning to come into play. This coming from one who always had to be out and about on the weekends and though I enjoyed my time at home, it wasn’t acceptable for me (in my mind anyways) to always be there. My life didn’t feel like it was in motion if I stayed home. All that is changing.
It was beautiful here yesterday. As I drove up to the house with my windows down, I noticed my husband already home cutting the grass. I envied him that he could be outside in such a wonderfully breezy, comfortable evening. We talked briefly outside and I headed in to open every window in the house. I’ve longed to air out the house so yesterday was welcomed by both me and my girls. They sat in each window watching their “daddy” mow the grass with their noses in the air just a twitching. After dinner I headed to choir. I’m hoping that it will be just as nice this afternoon when I get home so I can sit on the back porch with some tea and just enjoy it for what it has to offer. Maybe a walk will be on the docket tonight if I still have some energy by days end.
So until next time, know that all is well.
