It’s been a strangely quiet weekend. Matt was gone for two days with the soccer team in Iowa. Asa and Justus, our oldest, were out at their beloved church camp for a state-wide youth rally. That left just Elias, Malachi, and me at home. It’s been strange to only have two kids here, and I got loads of work done. Why? Because I let my younger two have more technology time than normal. Plus I didn’t cook for two days. Not one thing. I splurged on bread, lunch meat, and sliced cheese and we ate sandwiches and fruit whenever we felt like it. It was a vacation.
Our normal and busy will start up again on Monday, and I’ll be ready. But the break was needed and I feel refreshed.
