Bags checked

Last night I slept for seven uninterrupted hours.
Seven.
That hasn't happened for.... I don't know how long.
The last 8 years, I have either been pregnant (up for the middle of the night pee), nursing (up for the midnight snack of the baby), or working late (need to squeeze in those hours after the kids go to bed).
I feel great today!
We're meeting a friend and her kids at the park in a little while. I don't see her as often as I should, we need to change that.

What a beautiful day

We had a wonderful beach day.

After church, we went to bachelor-brother-in-law's house by the beach. Every time we go to the beach, we think of flying a kite, but we never have one! So a couple weeks ago, I bought two at Sam's Club. One is a butterfly, and the other is a helicopter. The rotors on the helicopter spin when it is airborne... pretty cool.

We spent most of the weekend out of the house now that we are feeling better. It's great to see that the house doesn't get as messy when we're not home 24/7! ... but still laundry to do.

I have reached the bottom of my stack (sometimes 2 feet thick) of work to do for my paying job. Don't know what I'll do this evening after the kids go to bed. Last night I fell asleep at 8 pm.... and awoke a 6:00 am. I guess I needed a catch-up night.
A bunch of work will be coming tomorrow, so I'll enjoy it while I can.
