As we cruise later in to Sunday afternoon, I am just not ready for this weekend to end. I hate to sound complaining as this weekend has been an amazing blessing, but I'm just not ready for it to end. That is due in large part to being well aware of how grueling this week, and the one after, and the one after that, are going to be. Robert got off work early and we were home by 8PM Friday evening, and I remember ecstatically exclaiming to my husband that if we wanted, we didn't have to leave the house until we took Robert to work at noon today. Forty uncommitted hours are extremely rare in this house, and I'm so very grateful for them.
This week my kids have six hours of swim practice, two hours of dryland conditioning, at least two doctor appointments, and we don't know Robert's work schedule yet. Andrew has parent conferences one evening this week, and I have to work at school on Wednesday and Thursday. I have an all day volunteer commitment on Friday, and also need to get some time in at the church.
Four weeks from today is Christmas. It will be here before I know it, and I'm again, trying to be present in each moment!
