I am a homebody. I love being home, curled up in my chair, reading a book or watching t.v. I love the quietness of the house and the pitter patter of my children's feet. I love watching my children play with each other, read to each other, and generally being really nice to one another.
However, because we homeschool, we are out a lot of evenings. Mondays we do Karate for Christ. Larry is in yellow belt, Curley is in advanced red, and Moe is in red belt. Tuesdays the children have activities they do with their father and I am able to go to a bible study. Wednesday the children have swimming lessons in the afternoon and Olympians in the evening. Fridays we all go to Divorce Care (divorcecare.org and DC4K.org) a wonderful program helping separated and/or divorced families.
So after reading about our weekly schedule, you will notice that there is nothing on Thursdays. Nothing!!! It is becoming our favourite day of the week. We use this day to relax, play games, watch a movie with just us at home, or we take the opportunity to go visit friends. Tonight we were invited to visit my cousin and her family. It was wonderful to relax (and I got to hold her baby girl a lot), talk about stuff, and enjoy a delicious meal together. It was great. |
I too am a homebody. And now that my dog is showing his age we are not even making the trip around the block daily -- most days just down the s treet a ways and back home. Getting old is hard on dogs. I hear.
