So, I’m doing pretty good I’m blogging ~ Day 3!
Today felt pretty non-eventful, getting up early to take my daughter Faith to her basketball practice. And of course, we were 15 minutes late. And I’m sad to say that in the moment my thought was “your lucky that we’re here at all!“
Honestly, after I thought it I felt bad about it. Bless her heart, her coach, Stacy, has more tenacity in her pinkie than I probably have in my whole entire body. I know that I would not be able to get up that early, be that energetic, and teach basketball to eight second graders while smiling. So my thanks go out to her for taking such great care of my daughter and her friends!
So after practice I decided to take Faith to our local toy store, pretty relaxing as we cruised through the store until a very precocious salesclerk began to hover over us, I got the feeling she wasn’t being friendly but was making sure we weren’t stealing anything. And have a feeling that she thought my daughter and I were trying to tag team her. I had to laugh!
My husband arrived home from work the same time we arrived, I realized that I let out a loud sigh when I realized my Saturday afternoon plan of relaxing was now shot.
My husband enjoys hunting, since it’s been bird season, he has been gone every weekend for the past five weeks. The first weekend was kind of strange getting used to the quiet, and no ESPN on the TV. But I soon became accustomed to the relaxed energy of our home and the loss of pressure I felt of having to be productive every minute of every hour. I know he doesn’t mean to put that energy out there for all of us to soak in, but I do believe it’s what he knows because that’s how he was brought up, that’s how his parents raised him. And we all know that some habits are hard to break. I too was raised this way, and after 10 years of psychotherapy and about $15,000 I’m almost free from it… (insert giggle here!)
So it’s pretty late that’s about 1:30 AM, and it’s time for me to go to bed. I have every intention of sleeping in until about 11:00 AM, taken a shower and going to my daughter’s basketball game! They’re so much fun I’m actually looking forward to it!
Sweet dreams~
Wishing light, love and laughter to all!
