Floating down de Nile

I’m feeling like I would rather be in denial than actually plan things before this trip, but I can’t afford to think that way for more than today. Part of today was spent cleaning, doing homework with kids, and prepping food in the kitchen, but other than that it was a day for me and hubby to chill while the kids were at school.

My ‘sabbath’ from writing was anything but a Sabbath. When that happens we give ourselves a time for chilling, resting and refreshing. When our lives become over busy from different responsibilities we pick what day will be our next ‘off’ day and then we can better focus on what needs to be finished before we take a day off, and what can wait until after.

Some might say that we are in denial, but I love to just not talk about things that we will talk about tomorrow and to not even have to think about details that can afford to wait one more day.
For most of this morning I was floating down the Nile…..deNile…..and lOVEing it!

I feel much more rested and refreshed. I got to celebrate a finished semester for one more day, and I can buy books for next semester (that starts while I’m in Africa) tomorrow. Kinda nice to just breath, and then play a video game with our three boys.

Bing tv, video games, an extra day for rest tagged onto a busy weekend, and these things are very important for fun family living!

Hope you had a great weekend!
