We’re Home
We took a few days off – totally unplugged… okay, I had my cell phone and checked email once a day… but I didn’t respond to anything unless it was uber important (which was like 2)… We went to family camp – I kind of went kicking and draggin my feet – you see the kids would miss their first few days of football practice, they would miss their swim team party, it is a lot of work to pack up, Matt’s parents would be leaving earlier if we went… so many things on our plate, so many EXCUSES… Funny how life gets in the way sometimes. But we went… And now I’m glad we did – we needed time away to recharge, worship as a family (It was church family camp – and since Matt is a pastor, he doesn’t get to just sit back and worship and listen to teaching very often), let our kids meet new friends, and just have an all out relaxing time. It was good. (well minus the walk-in clinic visit I had to make for a allergic reaction rash I ended up with… but that’s okay – I got medicine and all is good)
Now we’re back to reality – the phone hasn’t stopped ringing, there are piles of laundry everywhere, mail covers my kitchen counter, I have 1023 unread emails to attend to (after I have already waded through many) the kids rushed off to guitar lessons and football practice, and the evening brought stress as they announced that all football games have been moved to Sunday instead of Saturday – which is not really okay with us… (but that is probably a whole other blog post.)
But life is good…

P.S. Yes, if you are a Dine Without Whine Member, I know my assistant accidentally sent out the same menu as last week today. I emailed her tonight, and hopefully she will be able to send out a new one very soon! So sorry about that!
