Funny thing happened on the way to chapel today:


Mike told me he flies out in the a.m. for a week. I KNEW that he was going to do this in Feb but somehow forgot the TDY dates during March. {G} I’ve really been longing for some “solitude”. The kind I had when Mike sent me off alone a couple of years ago. I don’t see that happening any time soon, but I am sort of looking forward to a week of solitude after the kids are in bed. I plan to turn the computer off when they go to bed and soak up the quiet…time to think, read, study, and pray….just quietness.

Chapel was good today. It’s always fun to fellowship with friends. I was prepared with Newman O’s and pear juice for Zander. I got some teasing about going back to “hippie days” with my bright new sling and the organic Oreo’s….but it was all well-natured.

We spent the afternoon relaxing. The older boys went to rent a movie and the younger ones and Mike and I went for a bike ride. Then we watched the movie.

I set up Win Order for the co-op. I have to talk with their tech department to set up the Web order function but it’s almost done.

Mike is packing. Time to get kids in bed.
