TGIF, but Go! Go! Go!

It's been a busy week and we've finally arrived at the weekend, but there are no signs of a slowdown. I've got to get up in the morning and finish some 'refreshing' of four laptops for the church kid's ministry, meet with the collegepro painters for an estimate for the house, clean the house, mow the yard (if it's not raining) and report to church for rehearsal at 3:00 PM. Thankfully, after church we'll have a few precious hours to get the kids into bed, grab a bite to eat and watch a movie for 'date night'.

After services on Sunday, I've got a couple of IT issues that require attention and whatever time is left in the afternoon will likely be spent catching up on the household items that didn't get done on Saturday. I just don't see much time for rest and recreation this weekend, other than 'date night'. These kind of weekends are tough; when 2 weeks effectively meld together by virtue of a fast paced, busy weekend schedule. At the end of week 2, true rest is long overdue.

I'm not stressed or bitter about it, but sure could use a vacation where we actually get away and do some re-creating as a family. All too often my days off involve doing household chores, volunteering at church, etc. We never seem free to go away on a 'real' vacation. A weekend at the beach sounds nice. Perhaps that is something I can put together within the next couple of months. We'll see what happens.

Good Night
