In three days, Andrew begins his school year, and then a week from today we are at it full speed ahead! Everyone is excited, and I'm trying to be also. While I'm grateful to know I'm not going to be working this fall and will have plenty of time to try to get our house put together, I'm also nervous about how long (and lonely) my days are going to feel. I just tell myself to relax!
When we were in Indianapolis in April, we had purchased a membership to Conner's Prairie, an interactive "living" historical site. It was only $12 more than our general admission for the day, and we live only two hours away and thought we would certainly get back at least one more time. Of course nothing turned out the way we had planned this summer, and suddenly it looked as though that may not happen. Yesterday though, we took the day off and went back, and I'm so glad that we did. First of all, I was absolutely exhausted from all of the packing I've been doing, and by yesterday I was even achy from lifting things my husband would prefer I not attempt to move on my own. We are in pretty good shape with things, so I felt "safe" taking a day off from it all. It was a beautiful day and I expected it to be very crowded, but it wasn't at all! The kids got to make their own baskets and their own pendants and they got to participate in a tomahawk throwing contest. It was an absolutely perfect way to wrap up our summer. I mostly just sat and relaxed and enjoyed the down time...it was a fabulous day!
