Not so lazy Sunday...

Posted on Sunday, September 17, 2006 at 07:12

Normally we don't do alot on Sundays... we get lazy. Reading a good book, playing on the internet. Perhaps spending some time on our individual hobbies and you can't forget the all time favorite: napping in the afternoon. When we were attending church at our local ward, Sundays were hectic depending on which schedule we were on for church times as we share the building with another ward and switch off starting times every January. If we were on the 10:00 am sacrament meeting time we would be home by 1:30 and spending the afternoons just doing a whole lot of nothing. If we had the 11:00 start time, the afternoon would seem like it didn't exist at all. Since we haven't been attending, Sundays can stretch out long before me... seeming to never have an end. I miss church and the spirit it brings, but recognize that right now, home church is our best option for many reasons.

Today we did work around the property trying to increase our potential for the sale of the house when we put it on the market. All of the flower beds have been weeded. The fence got a pressure wash and our back gate removed so that it can be reinstalled correctly. We tore the carpet and padding out of Squishy's room revealing a dark green tile floor. Perhaps not the best option in terms of flooring but its in perfect condition and may save us having to purchase carpeting. Smooch and I went through the misc. branches that had been stacked in the back yard and put them into containers ready for pick up by the garbage truck - and fortunately the wasps nest that the girls had discovered there last week had been destroyed by this weeks rain. I was a little concerned about that nest because I fear wasps and bees of all kinds and really didn't want to deal with spraying it to kill them off.  

Bughead is outside finishing off a round of weed and feed on the lawn, the girls are putting away the last of the garden tools and its just starting to get dark outside... I have all windows open and every once in awhile giggles filter in to where I am sitting and I feel a little guilty that I am not out there with them.

Nevertheless, it was a good day. We will sleep well tonight and tomorrow will dawn bright and early and full of activity as usual. I can't help but get stressed every Sunday night thinking of all the things that have to be done. Paperwork prepared by Bughead for court. The girls need to start schooling this week... no exceptions. I have to do a million things around the house that I wasn't able to do this past week because I was gone so much. i am counting on Heavenly Father to get us through our recent trials and to assist me in feeling stress-free and ambitious. For tonight however, showers for the littles then off to bed. A movie for me and my buggie and the weekend will end in its normal quiet fashion. I can worry about tomorrow when it comes.
