Last night we celebrated oldest son's 25th birthday. His actual birthday was on Thursday, and we did see him that night briefly, but last night we went to the town where he lives and took him, our youngest son, and 3 friends out to supper. It was yummy, and we had a great time.
The downside of all of this. I am old.
My body and my house have taken a huge toll while I have been out having fun. Most of my outings have required eating out, and a just few times in a row can play tricks on your hips! Also, I am just tired. Last night in the car I thought I would sleep all the way home. I think I did sleep a little, but not restfully. Oh boy, this morning I guess I made up for that. I got up a few minutes with husband, and then went back to bed. I slept until 10:00 am! That is unusual for me. Even on weekends I often get up at 6:00 or 6:30 and stay up. My body was surely craving this sleep.
Now, on to my house. It is not completely filthy, but if you are like me, when you are in and each evening things don't always get put back where they go. I have spent about 30 minutes just picking up and returning things to their homes, and have much more to return. Laundry has been a huge issue all week so that will have to be resolved at some point today.
I am NOT complaining. As I said, I love the events of the past week and a half. It is just that so many hit all at once. I do have the power to say no, but chose not to .
Tomorrow however is another day...we plan on attending church and then I think we will lock the doors, throw away the keys to the house and car (we will be forced to stay inside that way) and STAY home. Actually most of next week is looking promising to a homebody like me.
