Drinking the Lemonade

Confession time!

Last week I had to work 48 hours Monday - Friday getting ready for inventory...

Then I pulled a 14 hour day on a hot Saturday

sitting at work and babysitting a bunch of adult juvenile delinquents

while they counted the inventory.

Not my idea of what I wanted to be doing on the first day of summer

...Ok, so August 4th is not actually the first day of summer....

but when you live in the Pac NW, and you literally count the minutes

 that it has been above 80* all summer long,

a day that gets near 90* FEELS like the first day of summer!!!!

Needless to say, today (my only day off in 2 weeks)

needed to be a day of rest...

literally!!!!

 So I decided to skip church...

I know... I'm such a sinner!!!!

I just needed a day where I could step out of the rat race and regroup...

mentally as well as physically.

So I find myself on a lazy summer Sunday,

sitting outside on my swing near the pond,

drinking the most fabulous lemonade

that my hubs bought me yesterday...

LOVE that man!!!

As I was just swingin... and sippin...

I started thinkin...

about nothing really..

except how wonderful it feels to just STOP for one day.

I really needed to recharge my batteries in this way...

I think I'll drink the lemonade more often!!!!
