Hmmm…you’ve inspired me to try really make Sundays a day of rest.

Amy,

Wow!!! Yes, rest will be very hard to come by. I’m sure you’ll have to get quite creative. I hope everything heals quickly and thoroughly!

Sarah Chia,

Sleeping when the baby sleeps – that’s definitely something I wish I’d done more. I hope you get better soon.

E,

You have some serious sickness at your house. Not fun.

You know, I’ve never been to a movie by myself? I’ll have to try that sometime.

May diseases stay far away from you for a long time…

Glad you’re feeling a little better.  It’s been a long week for me and diseases, as well.

I make myself relax on Sundays.  After we get home from church, it’s time to read and relax, and play with the kids, nap if I feel like it.  I don’t do dishes, (mostly) I don’t do laundry, I do things that I want to do.  I usually prepare for Sundays on Saturdays, and make up for Sundays on Mondays, but it is really worth the rest, and I am usually supercharged on Mondays!
