Down Time
This is the first weekend in a long time that we will have true down time. Bill is finally done with football, so that means that Saturday and Sunday he will be around. We do have our church's Mission's Conference this weekend, and Bill is in charge of that since he is the Mission Board President, but that really just means being there 15-30 minutes early. The girls have been done with soccer for a couple weeks now. That is not something that I miss. You know I really thought that when our kids got into school that I would want them to be involved...sad to say, but I would sometimes rather they didn't want to be involved. This year Amber really wanted to play soccer, and Ashley was okay with it, but after they got started, Ashley was very irritated with her mother. At one point in the season (which is only 6 weeks long) she says to me, "mommy, you never ASKED me if I wanted to play soccer!" I guess she thought this reasoning would allow her to quit. :) But now we are finally done with that, Bill is around and we actually will have some down time to be with family. Although, today that time may be in front of the TV watching college football. Well, at least we are all at home!

And you are short a couple of kids for a while. So that right there is a nice break, even though it's the easier ones to take care of.
Hey! We so understand! For and Jim to both get to be home for an entire day or even be together for an entire day without one of us working is like a miracle. Right now I just keep thinking... the cruise!!!!! I can hardly wait to not have to take care of anyone but me. No church, no salon, and no children..JIm, well, he is just on his own for the week! :)
Oh good your comments make me feel normal. There is a lot of pressure at our church right now with extra ministries. I volunteered for 2 thinking it would be no big deal until one fell on the same night at Jewel's school conf. etc. Anyhoo..
