Stream of Consciousness – week 32 #SOCWeekend #blogging #freewriting

Happy Saturday!

My 3-year-old woke up this morning and after opening his door, he opened his curtains and yelled, “It’s a new day! The sun is coming back!”

I wish I could be half as excited to wake at 7 a.m. on Saturday.

My husband is out playing disc golf with some friends, and it’s going to be a gorgeous day – once it warms up. The boy and I are relaxing a bit (as much as he’ll allow me to) and then we’ll head out to find something fun to do.

I leave Tuesday for a lot of days. Longer than a week. To say I’m a little anxious would be an understatement. I’m trying not to show it, but it’s there. I knew traveling was a part of this job. Some trips are tougher than others.

So on our agenda for this weekend is playing, creating Valentine’s for his friends at daycare, a little grocery shopping, laundry, packing and the not-fun stuff that comes with preparing for a long trip.

When I come back we have a couple of days before we host 20+ of our closest friends for our 6th annual Oscars party.

We don’t know how to slow down, apparently.
