Rested, Refreshed and Ready...

I enjoyed my week back home in WV. It was nice to let go of responsibility for a while and to just hang out with family doing nothing special. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to go home for a week.

I didn't get much done. I thought I'd spend a lot of time on the Internet and get some things researched and put together for the next school year. I thought I'd have spent my time planning out the summer. I guess I did to some extent but mostly I just goofed off.

I read 4 books, 5 magazines (cover to cover), took afternoon naps and ate out way too much. I went to Target about a hundred times and Wal-Mart every day or so. My son came home with a truckload of new things. And by truckload I mean...truckload.

And now it is back to life as usual. I feel better. I'm happy to be home. I am thrilled to be reunited with my hubby. I missed him. A LOT. I was able to come home with a better attitude and renewed energy. And now, we are facing some exciting changes in our life. We're scared and excited. But there is hope for a better future and the promise of a big adventure.

I'm not menu planning today. The hubs may be flying across the country this week so I'm keeping things loose. After a week of Chef Boyardee, Kraft Mac and Cheese and Hamburger Helper, he's more than ready for some home cooking. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes on the menu today.
