Long Weekend

It's always nice to have a long weekend after a rough week. I'm finally able to sleep through the night after battling allergies or something that's going around the school. I'm not really sure which. Mr. B leaves on Wednesday for 9 weeks. I'm excited for him, but also sad to see him go. Today was a nice day, however. After a trip to the grocery store, I made a cake from scratch, and it actually tastes good. Also watched some college football. Got to love football season.

I also struggled with spending Labor Day weekend away from my family. I thought about past Labor Day weekends when I'd go for a motorcycle ride with my dad and hang out with my mom watching movies and eating a yummy spiral cut ham. I nearly picked up the phone twice to call, but didn't know exactly what I'd say. I guess just that I miss them. And that I was thinking of them. But that didn't seem enough, so I stopped myself.

I'm hoping the weekend will continue at the casual slow pace it's been going and I'll be able to not only get a lot done, but also kick this sickness in the butt. I spend yesterday afternoon deep-cleaning the living room. I even vacuumed under the sofa cushions! I thought about my mom telling me when I was younger about spraying a little Pledge when you don't have time to clean, but want to make it seem like you did. The scent of pledge wasn't going to help the dust-bunnies I had under the sofa. But it did make me smile thinking of it.

Time to turn in. Hopefully tomorrow will be a productive day.
