It should be less than 24 hours until Jason gets back to our house and I have to say, although I'm tired (when am I not?), this week has actually been quite good. I was thankful for a soul prompt last Friday to just have fun with my kids during this time instead of dreading each day. It was clearly God because that's not really how I was feeling about Jason being gone and it completely re-directed me for what lay ahead. And I am SO thankful for that!!!
With my attitude adjusted to focus on the good, fun things we could do this week, we have actually had fun :) Go figure. We have had
really nice weather (for S. Dakota) which has helped
tremendously.
Our days have consisted of very, very lazy mornings together, catching up on some homeschooling, LOTS of time outside, plenty of play dates, fall festivals and birthday parties, as well as some fun together in the kitchen.
