Homeschooling finally has come to an end for the 2012-2013 school year! My children and I anxiously awaited the arrival of four extra summer children. My mind got busy planning all sorts of activities and fun things to do as I prepared for them to come. Memorial Day for me was a day of rest and remembrance. I knew it'd be my only day of rest before the children came, so I took full advantage! Actually, the plan was to clean the house spic and span, but I sat on my behind and goofed off all day with my own three children. It's not very often we get an entire day to spend by ourselves doing whatever whenever we want. During the week, I'm normally up by the crack of dawn preparing my husband's lunch, my day and activities for the children I keep. BUT, not on Memorial Day morning. I slowly dragged my bottom out of bed and actually sat down while drinking my first cup of coffee. The kids slept as I enjoyed a few precious moments of silence, meditation and prayer.
From over eating to over spending, we seem to take in way too much! It's more than our feet can carry sometimes!
