Rest and Relaxation...

I have thoroughly enjoyed my week off. I haven't had to be anywhere or do anything. This doesn't happen very often, so I have been trying to take full advantage. Derek and I were even able to watch a couple of movies in the middle of the week (crazy I know). We can be a couple of real party animals at times. I took Brendan to Jiu-Jitsu and actually stayed to watch, and took Drake to practice... This may not sound like rest and relaxation to some of you, but for me it is. I haven't been able to do these things that I used to despise doing. I found that when you don't have the opportunity to do something (you thought you hated doing) sometimes you find out just how much you really loved it. I love, love, love being a Mom, and miss my kids like crazy when school is in. I am also very grateful for the opportunity I have to go back to school. I know it is difficult right now, but it will be so worth it in the end. There is a plan that I don't fully understand right now and I only hope that I will see the bigger picture as time goes on. In the meantime I will continue to enjoy the little moments in life that matter most.
