These two days of this weekend have been everything I hoped they would be and exactly what I needed. Honestly, I almost can't put it into words. These days feel like they have been such a gift and I feel incredibly recharged.
To begin, the weather has been absolutely perfect, ideal late May weather. No rain, 70's with no humidity, and last night it even got down into the 40's. It's been amazing.
Yesterday, I was able to take off the entire day and not really do any work, either at home or school or church related. It was wonderful. The kids all came over for dinner last night. We had a taco bar for dinner, then played a round of croquet, and then played a game Thomas and Lyndi had given Andrew for his birthday back in January. We ate, we laughed, we loved. Sounds cliche, but it was such a spectacular evening.
Today was another awesome day. Again the perfect weather was in place. I spent the day working on school things. For a variety of reasons (some due to school employees) I am way behind where I would like to be in terms of getting reports out. We are heading to our vacation next weekend, so I need to get them out this week no matter what. And I will, but lots of hours will be involved. Anyway, our gift to Andrew's mother for Mother's Day was a nice dinner out. Since my work schedule may be crazy this week, I suggested we go out this evening. It was a spectacular dinner. We ordered a bottle of wine, and even Andrew's mother liked it. We had an appetizer, amazing food, and brought dessert home. Then we sat around and watched some episodes of Modern Family, which makes my MIL laugh so hard that her stomach hurts.
I hate that I don't get to hang around with Andrew and his mom this week, but I'm grateful that I feel so incredibly recharged and ready to face work again. I am more blessed than I can put into words.
