happy friday

I'm really excited about this weekend.  In about the same way I looked forward to it when I had an outside-the-home full time job.  This week felt long and tiresome.  We had some people in town to do 'stuff' around the area so Stan was traveling the first part of the week.  Not longer than usual but him being gone the beginning of the week, for whatever reason, made it feel long.  Tuesday was a particularly frustrating day of school.  Wednesday Kirby woke up sick, don't know for sure if it was due to missing daddy (happens quite often), or being upset from the previous days school time, but he did end up runnng a bit of a fever.  That night when daddy and peeps got back they planned a dinner out.  For pizza.  Kirby thought he was miraculously better.  He still didn't get to go.  So if he was playing sick a little (or exaggerating at least) he learned a good lesson.  If you are too sick for school you are too sick to do anything else.  Yesterday and today were both great school days.  And the blessing of homeschool is we still got everything accomplished for the week.

I think also this week has just been tough cause I've been trying super hard to count calories and exercise.  What used to be second nature is taking some adjusting.  It means more effort on my part.  Which I am absolutely and totally willing to do, I need to take better care of me and in the process my family.  We will all be better for it.  I can't imagine what next week will feel like when I add in my own classes.  Tuesday and Thursday, two hours each, studying the hardest language ever known to man.  Plus making sure I get in adequate studying time.  I CAN DO IT!!!  With the Lord's help, cause let's be honest, I am lazy.

So our weekend plans aren't really that special.  An afternoon date with my Stan for coffee and quiet.  Pizza and a movie with my boys (and best yet, we are getting the pizza from the same restaurant they ate at earlier in the week...meaning I don't have to cook).  And tomorrow I will sleep until the boys drag us out of bed.  That's the best part of Saturday.  No 5:30 alarm.  We may go swimming with friends, we may stay home in our pj's all day.  Don't know for sure.  Sunday will be wonderful and restful and all the things I love most about Sundays.

So there ya go.  Nothing big happening.  Just rest and family time.  What are you up to this weekend???
