My wonderful husband and I enjoyed a weekend together at a state park. We had a wonderful time resting, reading, relaxing and just enjoying how much we love each other. I know it's unbearably sweet, but we really are great together. My life is good. I read a great book over the weekend: The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown, and I highly recommend it. It was required reading for one of my classes this semester, but I read every word eagerly and can't wait to have time to look into more of her work.
I'm ready for the semester...I think. Today marks the beginning of Week 2. It's going to be a challenging one in terms of the quantity of reading and writing I'll be expected to do (not to mention driving). I'm also immersed in a big fundraiser with my Jordan Essentials lotion bars and hope not to make a logistical nightmare for myself. AND my new job as Children's Program Coordinator for a nearby church starts this week. Going to be busy, but I'll take it a day at a time (with a wary eye on the other days marked down on my big wall calendar in the kitchen). I have a sneaking suspicion the high school will track me down this week for subbing as well. I've learned, however, that the scary thing is not that tomorrow is coming but that today is going. I want to claim every today as worth living well.
Did I mention I love my husband? Oh, and the kids, too. As nice as it was to miss them for a couple days, I find myself missing them painfully on nights like this when I'm away at school and they're tucked in bed with Daddy. Sleep well my loves...
