The weekend is drawing to an end. To be honest, I really don't mind. This is the not the weekend that I would have chosen, but it is the weekend that needed to happen. Andrew and Thomas don't have school tomorrow, so they are at Andrew's parents...and actually right now, they are at the football game. I don't mind. It's just that the timing is really tough. Normally, I enjoy an expanse of time completely to myself. However, it was just six weeks ago that Andrew and the kids were there for the weekend. Also, a week ago this past Friday my school was closed so I had that entire day to myself.
And honestly, this past week I didn't get to see my family much, especially Andrew. Monday I went straight from school to church, and it was nearly 7:30 before I got home. Thomas was still at band practice for another hour. Tuesday Thomas worked, but Andrew and I did get to spend the evening together with our friends at their daughter's volleyball game. Wednesday Andrew played frisbee golf after school and I had a band meeting. Thursday was the worst. Andrew had to work an athletic event and didn't get home until nearly 11. Friday was a home football game. Thomas went out with friends after, so he was home at 11:30, and Andrew helped to get ready for the league cross country meet so it was 10:30 before he was home. Yesterday Andrew was out the door by 7:30 to work the meet. Thomas had to be at school mid-afternoon for a band competition, then Andrew left late afternoon to go as well. They left directly from the competition to head east. It's a good thing, I know this. I love that they get to do this together, but I'm a little lonely and I miss them. I've been able to be productive, but I would've preferred having the family around.
I've truly appreciated the cooler weather this weekend. I love fall!
