I can't believe it has taken me over a week to find the time to write a blog entry!  And when I think back over my week, I can't even remember what kept me so busy.  How said is that?  LOL

Anyway, today is Saturday and my husband and I have the weekend to ourselves.  Yesterday, all 3 of our girls went with our church's youth group to the National Youth Conference.  They will be home late tomorrow afternoon.  So, what will us "old fogies" do with a rare weekend alone?  Well, my husband is actually sleeping....LOL  He works 3rd shift and had to work last night so he is "taking a nap" this morning.  Then, the plan is to declutter and clean up the carport (if I get brave I will take before and after pics), then take a drive down to some campgrounds we want to check out for a possible camping trip we hope to take in the next few weeks, and then we are going to come home and cook supper over our fire pit and just sit and relax together. 

It is really just what we need as a couple too.  Though my husband has been working 3rd shift now for 2 years, it still hasn't gotten easy.  I have made the comment before that at times I feel like a "single wife" if there could be such a thing.  But I am very thankful that my husband has a job when so many others don't and God has even opened new doors of opportunity for my husband in this job, which is such a blessing as well. 

So that is my rambling thoughts for today.  What are you up to this weekend?

I certainly relate to your "single wife" comment. I think your phrasing is rather clever. My husband works very long hours. He's out of the house in the early hours of the morning, and not home until after supper most nights. Then, he goes away on business trips about once a month and is gone for a week at a time. Being responsible for everything while he's away is a heavy burden to carry. Like you I have to work at remembering to be thankful that he has a job, and trust that God will be my advocate when I'm struggling on alone.
Praying peace over your home today. Did you have your camping holiday yet? Blessings!
