Busy

"I never want to be so busy that I can't answer the mail." 'Mister' Fred Rogers

As cliche as it sounds, we've been busy. The kind of busy that we want to get away from with me staying home in the fall. The worst is having to wake up the peacefully sleeping 2 year old and 3 month old, just to put them in the car for a half-hour ride. It also starts to get tough when I've been saying for a week and a half that I need to give my daughter a bath (did I just admit that?). I look forward to giving them stability, routine, and nurturing. I look forward to taking care of my own children. I like teaching a lot, but it will still be there in a few years. My new role is household manager. My kids will eat healthy food, the house will be livably clean, and I'd even like to send out birthday cards on time.

We spent the weekend in the north Georgia mountains for a church retreat. There was a good combination of meaningful conversation, fresh mountain air and playing games till 2 in the morning. It is a privilege to be part of such an amazing group.
