Sitting on Saturday

Being her in LeadTime has come dangerously close to making me hating weekends. :) On Saturday mornings we get up by 9:30 for breakfast and then have a house devo time. However after that we are given work projects for the rest of the morning. These projects include cleaning the vehicles, cleaning the offices, cleaning the kitchen, taking the recyclables to the recycling center and the most fun item - going to WalMart to pick up items the kids need/request.

Work projects last until 1:00 and then we have lunch. After lunch we do deep cleans, which is basically doing our weekly house and room chores just with a little more effort. This usually takes a half an hour or so, depending on the person/chore. The rest of the day is free for us to hang out with our rooms. My co-big and my two girls went shopping, got drinks at Sonic during Happy Hour, and had dinner at a pizza place. It was a fun time, but when we got back around 6:00 we were all tired and the girls laid down to sleep for a while. :)

I am used to relaxing weekends filled with sleep and quietness. My body and mind have still not gotten used to this new schedule of constant go, go, go. Hopefully by next summer I will be used to this program. :S

I am tired, but to lay down this early would only create more problems in that I would not be able to sleep the rest of the night, so I am forcing myself to stay up until 10:00 or so. So, here I sit, messing around on the internet, relaxing with some other bigs and listening to music. There are definitely times of rest, though few and far between, so I take advantage of them whenever I can. God provides at the best possible moments.
