give me "the usual"

Last week was a VERY busy week (hence the last of posts).

Every night last week (Tuesday - Friday), I had evening plans. Each night I would go straight from the office to the church and I wouldn’t get home until late (SUPER late on Friday night). Needless to say, I was whipped. It was a great experience and I really had a ton of fun, and even better - the family totally supported me through the week. No guilt trips!! It was awesome to do something different.

BUT, to add more fun (and honestly stress) to the week - we also had my son’s 10th birthday party on Saturday. So - this added some conversations about the Very Important Cake and a “festive” discussion about why we waited so late to order his gifts. Good times.

By Sunday, I was even a little more whipped.

So, this week I’m VERY excited to have a more “normal” week at home. Of course, we’ll have our usual challenges (winter colds, daughter has a stomach thing, etc), but nothing that isn’t just a part of the daily routine. Having “too much going on” makes me really appreciate the usual pace of life.

Ultimately I would do it again and then I would be ready to jump back into regular life (always). Fast IS fun and slow is GOOD.
