Another work weekend for me. I've talked about it before. I spend 3 days in a row doing 12 hour shifts helping mothers become mothers. This past weekend we were busy and I was exhausted by the end, but I love it! If I didn't have this darling family to come home to I would spend much more time at this job of mine than I do, I love it that much! Childbirth is so amazing, intimate, profound and breathtaking...sometimes I can't get enough. But I do have this sweet family of mine, I did become a mother and this is where I'd rather be always...with them, loving them and holding them close. So after this long weekend of work, sleep, work, rushing to a baseball game, sleep and back to work I came home yesterday to a backyard full of my family AND my favorite friends...
No matter how tired I am I can't think of a better way to celebrate the ending of a very long weekend. There was great food, a bonfire, great conversation, some planning of house projects (getting a few of these guys together this is inevitable), lots of games, running, giggling, swinging and general merriment into the night. Pure bliss and I have no doubt that everyone slept well last night! How was your weekend?

ReplyDeletei can't believe y'all are wearing long pants and sweaters...we're sweating in tank tops and shorts and flip flops :(
A campfire makes any gathering even better. Our extended family does them frequently. Can't wait for corn on the cob!!! Lovely weekend :)
