I forgot that spending a day in the sun takes every ounce of energy out of me. We had a very nice afternoon on the beach. We went late to avoid the heat of the day…apparently, in Hawaii that is the way to do things. It is hot here, that is certain, so I imagine that in the heat of the day on the beach, an hour is equal to 4 hours on a beach in the California sun. I did lather on the sunscreen anyway…and I was “done” after only a couple of hours. It was a nice afternoon.
Unfortunately, the day’s regular activities remained with few exceptions. Of course, I did not have to take my granddaughter to school, and meals were sporadic throughout the day, but infant twins are fairly demanding and do not care where we are or what is the plan…they want to eat when they want to eat, and so exhausted or not, there was work to do.
Thank goodness I do not have also to worry about school. Well, about school-WORK anyway. I do worry about school…I am concerned that I will lose my momentum. I am concerned that when I restart school on the 15th that I won’t be ready—at least won’t be able to devote the necessary time to school and still continue to help my daughter run her house and take care of her family. I admit that I do not miss the tedious interactions with learning teams (have I mentioned how much I dislike learning teams?) and, realistically, I do not miss school. I am feeling rather “done” with the whole experience these days. Yet, I have another year to go.
Sigh.
Tomorrow is Sunday…and there are still two more days of the long weekend. Maybe I can sleep in?
Probably not.
