You'll never guess where I am. Actually, I might have already told you and just don't remember. I AM CAMPING!!
I worked 1/2 day on Friday and we were at our campsite by 1:30pm. It's been rainy and then sunny and then more rain and then more sun. We didn't spend any time at the pool, but we did visit the hot tub a couple of times.
Mostly we've just hung out. Talking. Not Talking. People watching. Movie watching (I HIGHLY recommend Gran Torino.) Eating junk food. Cuddling. Just some basic enjoyment of each other's company. We rarely get alone time at home. Even if both girls are out...it just seems like we are never alone. We needed this.
Yesterday was the magical day I've been missing this summer. There's just something about camping with me. It calms me. My normal "non-stop brain actitivity/worrying" slows down. I'm truly able to relax. Yes, my husband's work phone still rings. But it doesn't seem to bother me.
He left yesterday for a few hours to do a service call. I read and napped. When I was done with that, I walked up to the little campstore and bought myself an ice cream sandwich. I'm not an ice cream person, and had intended to buy a soda. But, as I was walking to the store I saw a little girl munching down on her ice cream sandwich. That was it...I had to have one too.
Monkey see, Monkey do.
This morning I woke up with a whisper of anxiety about going back to the real world. I jumped out of bed and immedidately made coffee. I don't have time for anxiety about what will be LATER.
Right now, I'm still camping.
