A long, enjoyable day...

Usually Sundays are miserable days for me. Fridays (after work) are good, and Saturdays are great, but on Sundays I always have to face the reality of going back to work Monday morning and it just ruins it for me. But today was different. We got up and went to church as we usually do, then we came home and had a quick lunch. We sat around for about an hour (I was up MANY times with animals and children last night and was desperately in need of a nap) and had a RARE moment where the kids were playing in their rooms and Brad and I were relaxing in the recliners watching a football game. It reminded me of Sunday afternoons when I was a kid. We laid around the house and watched boring television and napped and it was wonderful! That only lasted for about an hour today and that nagging need to do something productive crept up on me. I went to my office/gift wrap factory and got busy wrapping the final gifts that I bought yesterday. Brad went to check on the cows and then took Sam to visit his brother at his dairy farm for a while. Lily and I hung out here and finished the wrapping and did some laundry. Never once did I stop and think about how soon the morning was coming! It was so pleasant. I cleaned my house and threw a little something together for supper and the family has spent the last couple hours flipping between Dirty Jobs (Sam's favorite show) and the Panthers game. I'm feeling refreshed and relaxed already and I have two weeks left. Yay!
