It's peaceful.
Peaceful would describe this entire weekend actually. Beau is upstairs taking his afternoon nap. Cory left to meet his parents to pick up Emma and Cody who have been gone since Friday evening. So I'm taking some time to blog about this weekend.
This weekend has been good for my soul. It's been pretty darn close to perfect actually. I think when a mom is with her kids every day all day long and has a husband who travels during the week then she can get worn out and spread thin. Add some runny noses and a baby who is teething and has a fever and she can get close to burned out.
Saturday was perfect. I had my windows open all day. The weather was crisp and downright chilly. I did a 5 mile trail run while Cory and Beau watched a kid's soccer game at the park. I got the house clean and laundry done! While Beau napped I caught up on some reading and Cory worked outside on the patio. None of that sounds particularly exciting I'm sure. That's the point. It was just what I needed. I needed that run. I needed to get the housework done. I needed that peace and quiet. Moms (and Dads) need that sometimes. I am so thankful for it.
In regards to my last post, I have ideas floating around in my head about where I want to take this. I'm going to keep my focus on homeschooling, parenting, domestic stuff, marriage, etc. If that bores you, I'm sorry. It excites me! It's what I love and it's what I was made for. Not that I know it all but I'm learning alot along the way and I like to share what I learn and I hope it's an encouragement to others just as other blogs have been encouraging to me. :)
Just wanted to let you know I enjoy reading your blog. It takes me back to the days when my children were young. Now I am in a "new" season of life as a grandmother and I love it!
