I had a good day off. Usually I get really restless by the end of a long weekend. I had my restless day at the beginning, so it’s been a good few days off of work.

The tea was lovely, as usual. It’s funny, these are ladies that aren’t that much older than I, but they’re more my mother’s friends than mine. And yet I have a friendship with them as well, not only because of being my mother’s daughter, but in my own right. Three of them have known me since I was a teenager - they are the ones that I’m enjoying getting to know as peers now. And it’s funny because as a youth leader in my church, I now have mentor-friendships with their teenage kids.

I ran errands on the way to the tea. Let me say that stay at home moms have it made - I breezed my way through Wal-Mart. It was crowded, but nothing like it is on Saturdays. Wow.

It’s days like today that I think it would be nice to win the lottery, quit my job, and do what I want to do during the day. But then I think of the restlessness I feel after a few days off and I know that I would be bored out of my mind. So I would still work and I would probably volunteer more. Of course, I need to play the lottery to win the lottery, but that’s another issue.
