Bee~ Journal of then...

He works around the house? Oh, honey! Let him do just that and YOU take the kids and have some fun!

My son had to have a little chuckle when he started thinking about all the soldiers discussing what they did with their last week of freedom. He imagined them talking about going to parties, getting drunk, going out with their friends. Then he imagined their faces when he told them he went whitewater rafting with his MOM!

Mama's Boy! :bun

Isn't nothing wrong with being a Momma's boy!

So glad you came home all healthy and sassy! What a nice treat to be able to do that with your son. We all need a little R&R every now and then!

Farm, I was slipping into a depression. Too much work, too much missing my boys, too much worrying about the failed garden. I really, really needed to get away from this house, this place, this rut. It was cleansing and wonderful!

I love this place but I've been holed up here for too long without a fresh view and perspective.

I recommend it to all!

I get that same kind of relief when we go fishing or hiking.

When I am fishing I just sit there all slack jawed and drool. If I catch a fish OK - if not OK.

When I am done I feel like I have rested for a week!

By the way I just got home from work -- what are YOU doing up at this time of night young lady?

I couldn't wipe a smile off my face for two days now! My son looks over at me as I'm driving and asks me what I'm smiling about. I told him it was because I am soooooo happy to be here, right now, driving down this road with him on a new adventure, seeing all the beautiful countryside.....but mostly because I just can't stop smiling!

SO is the one who won't go anywhere or do anything, because the farm can't be left alone for a minute. There is so much work to be done.
Since he likes fishing and can use the excuse of "we're fishing for supper", I have been able to get him to "take me fishing" about once a month. I like fishing ok, but I really like getting away from the place for a few hours. I bring my drawing pencils and art pad, as well as my fishing pole. When I get bored with fishing, I draw. And he can fish to his hearts content.
I am usually the one who says, "honey, I think it is time to go home, we got to check on the animals" and he tries to drag it out.
We get back and have more gusto to do the work that needs to be done. And once in a while we get to have a fish supper and some new art, beside the wonderful memories.
Hey for all you Christians, even God took a day off. I am pagan, I get to take fridays off

You don't realize how down you have been until you get happy!

It is good for body and soul! I hope your smiles stay with you a good long time!

I took a nap today and now I can't sleep. I couldn't get good rest in the hotel...you know, strange place. So I was pretty tired and every muscle aches in a thousand ways so I took a wonderful nap. Now I'm paying for it!

Going to take Eli out and sit and look at all the beautiful diamonds in the floor of heaven here in a minute! Then its up to bed, write a letter to Jon Boy and off to sleep...... I hope!
