Wow, it seems unbelievable that it has been nearly two months since I've written anything here. Is that because nothing has bothered me or because I have had nothing to say? Of course not. It has been mostly due to the fact that my summer schedule is cruel mistress. She keeps me so busy and leaves me so tired that I barely have time to handle the basic necessities: I haven't done my weekly house cleaning in three weeks.
However, in defense of my sweet summer (I really do love her), I have to say that, this week at least, the exhaustion is mostly my own fault. Who but the truest of idiots schedules VBS for their church, plans to leave for vacation, and has their sister-in-law visiting from South Korea all in the same week? Me. I would be that truest of idiot. I know the reasons why all of these events have intersected, and some of it couldn't be helped. Really.
The good news is that it's after noon on Wednesday, making the longest week of my summer officially half over! By midnight on Friday night I will be on my way, with the hubs and without the kids, to spend a week on the beach in North Carolina. I will probably spend the first two days catching up on all my missed sleep. Well, not really, but right now nothing sounds closer to heaven than sleeping when I want to and not having to drive all over town every day. I love my kids, I love my sis-in-law, I like my job, and I love my church, but getting away from it all for six days after this crazy week will be BLISS!
So, as of Friday, farewell cruel mistress. I'll be back on July 21st! You can beat me back into submission then.
