Suburban Shalom

seeking peace and purpose from my little neck of the suburbs

Is it bedtime yet?

I knew today was going to be a long day when I kissed the Spouse on his way out the door this morning and accidentally said “goodnight” instead of “goodbye.” I think “goodnight” is kind of where I was mentally…

Alas, much has to be done today because we are gearing up for a trip to the beach. And, I do mean “gearing” because it seems like going anywhere for more than a weekend requires a tremendous amount of gear. The swim bag alone takes up a good portion of the trunk.

And, then, there are all kinds of extras that have to be packed for entertainment.  Nothing says brilliant marketing like the dollar section at the front of Target.  And, yet, we always find something we “need” to have there, be it jelly balls or tacky sunglasses…

Now that I’m serious about the packing part, the girls are busying themselves with other projects… like reading.  And, sometimes the most relaxing thing you can do before a trip is put on a tutu, curl up in a Rubbermaid, and read a few Bible stories… 
Since our air conditioning unit has gone out on one floor, I can hardly blame her for her choice of outfit. You can get away with a lot when you’re two.  

Well, I must keep this post short today.  Not only is the temperature inside the house quickly rising, but laundry and packing {and re-packing what mysteriously gets unpacked} all await.  Somehow I can imagine getting to the beach with things like one swimmie and one half of a tankini…

Have a great weekend ~
