Favorite subject? Recess, of course.
For the past week, I have been running in neutral, mentally speaking. A wonderful combination of events has contributed to this cerebral down-shift: First, this week has been "Spring Reading Days" at Southern. That's their way of saying, "Yes, it's spring. Yes, there are no classes. No, you don't get a break...READ!" As much as I understand the sentiment, in reality--it's Spring BREAK. I have, I must say, "broken."
Secondly, the weather in Louisville has been absolutely fabulous. Beautiful sunshine, mild temperatures, flowers in bloom, man! You just can't think very clearly in this kind of weather. Every fiber of your being yells out at you, "NAAAP TIIIIME!" Since I've always been the obedient sort, I try to do as I'm told.
Thirdly, Jacob has been out of town for the past two weeks at my parent's home and Karen and I have had a song welling up in our souls, "Free at last, free at last..." It's a beautiful song, really. Though we've missed our little JC, we have basked in the freedom and felt like kids again. Last night, for example, we went to a movie...at 7:30! Those of you who are parents understand that the only thing going on at 7:30 every night is teeth-brushing time, bath-time, story-time, snack-time, prayer-time and bed-time. We were so excited that afterwards (9:30!), we decided we weren't done yet. We were going to paint the town. What would we do? Whatever the heck we wanted! So, after about a half hour of deliberation (we're very much out of practice), we decided to go to a coffee shop for a nice relaxing cup of coffee and conversation...did you KNOW that all the coffee shops in town close at 10:00 during the week??
We were back home by 10:15. Yep...party animals.
Well, next week everything will be back to normal. That's a good thing, though. I'm very thankful for my son and also the opportunity to study. Fortunately, the weather should still be good and graduation is only a month away. God is good. Who knows, maybe by next week I'll actually get up the energy to write a decent post about something substantive. Until then...man, it's almost 4:00...nap time!
