Lazy weekends...few and far between!

Posted by Poki
So...it's Monday morning and as I reflect on the weekend I realize how much more fun we have when we have nothing to do! When we can actually enjoy the weekend by just hanging around the house and not running around all weekend. Sadly, this does not happen very often, but when it does, it is like gold to us, totally and completely priceless. We rarely have family time and even more rare, do we not have anything that we HAVE to do. But, thankfully, this weekend was just that way. The only commitment we had was Tyler's basketball game on Saturday morning! Yes, I said morning! For some reason, he has super late night practices, but then early games?! But, I won't complain, because atleast he is playing!


After gametime, he had his friend over for the rest of the day/night and then some other good friends came over. We had a house full of 5 adults and 9 children. It was a mad house, but we loved every minute of it. Enjoying close friends, good food (pasta, salad, bread, and brownies! Does it get any better?) and then some games! I have to say, having three 11 year old boys proved that wrestling and football is their favorite past time! I just knew we'd end up in the ER with an injury...happy to report, that my gut was wrong! The age gap in girls made the night not as fun for my girls, but they made it through, eventhough they were the first to turn in!
My workout regime improved over the weekend as I cut over a minute and a half off of my mile on the treadmill, jogging at a faster speed then I ever have! My lungs are still so tight from influenza though, can't wait for that to end.
Thinking I will add a morning workout of strength training?! We will see if I can get enough sleep for this.


Adam's new schedule starts tonight, to which we are both dreading. He will now get an hour less sleep, as will I because, most nights, I am unable to get to sleep until I know he's home safe. Oh love, gets me every time! Ugh, rotating schedule with new hours and longer days just really stinks. Yes, I know, there are a lot of people without jobs and I should not complain...we are so greatful he has a job, but we are so ready to have a more normal schedule so that we can actually see each other and maybe have some quality time together, 10 years is a long time.
Still praying we hear some good news regarding Adam's job, but know it's all up to the Lord and His plan and that may not be the same plan/desire we have. So, praying we are content with His decision for us. Adam thinks they already know who they want and his chances are slim, but praying that they change their mind. It would mean big changes for Adam and us. Positive changes! And, after 10 years, we could really use a positive change. Adam is such a good man, husband, father, trooper...and he works so hard, it would be nice for him to reap something from that hard work for a change. I love him so much and want the best for him, and just wish something positive would happen for him because he is so deserving.


On to other topics, just finishing up my finance class and sort of sad. I like the math classes so much! There's only one right answer and there are no grey areas. I love math! I know...weird! I love that it's tax time and I can sit down and run all the numbers and do our taxes! Just wish I had all the paperwork, so I could get that over with! Hopefully, by the end of the week.


Well, Happy Monday! Here's to a new week! Toasting to good friends and lazy weekends!
