Last night was crazy. I taught until 7. Laura had homework that lasted from 4:30 - 8:30. It was just too much. We found ourselves eating dinner at 8:30 and we all needed a little time to relax. We got in the hot tub from 9:00-9:15. That was 15 minutes of pure heaven.
It was cooler last night and there was steam rising from the water in the tub. The girls thought this was way cool. We were in a mental frenzy when we first got in, but by the time we got out, everyone felt better. I love that when we get in, there is no T.V. or distractions. It is just us being a family, catching up on the day and relaxing. I want my girls to know that taking time to relax is important. I don't want them to be lazy, but I want them to learn that relaxing is good. I have a hard time with this and I hope the tub will help. Here is a quote by Salman Rushdie that appropriately describes how I feel about the tub purchase.
"In this world without quiet corners, there can be no easy escapes...from hullabaloo, from terrible, unquiet fuss."
The tub sits in the "corner" of our patio.
Tom is enjoying his class in Virginia. He said it moves fast, but is very good. There is no hot tub at his hotel, but it is hot outside. I think he REALLY wants to be home and we REALLY want him to come home. I miss him and realize what a HUGE help he is to me and my busy life.
Today, I have to take Becca to the dentist and prepare for my first string club meeting tomorrow. I am excited and a little nervous at the same time. I am not sure how to prepare. I might have just a couple of kids, or I might have many, many. I just don't know. Whatever will be, will be.
