I hope you don't think my blog is just for my health predicament. I talk about lots of things here. Some things you may like, agree with, and some things you may not. It's what I like to call freedom! Mine and yours. Hopefully we can still like each other though... A challenge for some, I know! (Smile)
I have to wonder if any cottage weekends will actually happen this year as many of our weekends are already spoken for. Last year we had the surgery, which dominated all summer. This year it is graduations and parties, sprinkled all summer. Sigh. It's not that we don't want to be a part of these wonderful things. It's just this-our kids will be leaving home (feels like sooner than later) and we have spent the last few years fighting, clawing, scraping for time together in the summer. We have been desperate for some time, I'll just say that without dipping in the bucket.
Is it so wrong to want to selfishly guard some family time with my husband and girls? It's that time that I will regret missing. It's those faces I'm tired of letting down. Funny thing...we're not trying to take a "real vacation"! In fact, we haven't had one in 6 years! We just want to go to the family cottage! We're not even being unreasonable.
Sometimes I just feel we're being attacked...disarmed...by the one who wants to tear me down. And what better way than to try to ruin every summer?
So again, 6 years later, another attempt will be made to enjoy some family time. Don't be surprised if you drive by and see us sleeping in a tent in our back yard. 3 years ago our camper was completely destroyed. Shocker huh?
But because I have such a positive attitude (ahem) and can see how it has all worked out (ahem), I will just keep Charlie Browning on. Wish us luck.

Praying you get at least a summer weekend together. You all deserve it.
